Hello zilvia members.

I am at a standstill here with what to do about these calipers..

The stock ones on my car are all but shot at this point so I was about to order up a new stock set when I discovered the q45 phenomenon.

So I can get better calipers in the front for about the same price. I'm sold. (was going to get new rotors/pads of course)

Now the grey area for me is.. can I or rather should I put q45 calipers on the rear? It would make the logistics of ordering pads/rotors much easier but while I found good documentation on replacing the fronts, the rear is a mystery.

1996 240sx se, 5lug stock rims.

The Definitive 300ZX Brake Swap Paqe This should help. I'm pretty sure Z32 brakes are the same as Q45 brakes, so everything would be the same. You just need R33 e-brake cables, and it is also recommended that you get a new master cylinder too, but not required. I think it's worth it, especially for drifting, since you will have a better e-brake.

Search................................this has been asked and answered millions of time. But ill enlighten you. do the fronts with a Z32 master cylinder and youll be fine but you will have a biasis to the front because of the dual pot calipers. most leave the rears stock but if you dont want a biasis ( depending on what you use your car for) get the rears also.

Q's and z32 are not the same

Obviously, but they bolt on the same way as Z32 brakes is what I meant.

I apologize jlawdet, like I said I was unable to find an answer to the rear q45's. If it requires taking apart the whole rear suspension like the quide jlawdet posted suggests, then I think i'll just get the fronts for now. Thank you both.

Just do this for the rear: http://zilvia.net/f/archive-faqs/291...-calipers.html

Same size rotor as the Q45 but it allows you to keep the stock caliper so there's no need for the drum ebrake.
