Yes they will work, but the rears are a lot more work. The Q45 uses a seperate drum parking brake like the Z32. See the link below for info from a Z32 non turbo which should be very similar to the Q45 hardware.

The Q45 front calipers with the S13 rear hardware is still an effective upgrade over stock as most of the brake work is done up front. And the Q45 calipers are much more forgiving on rim clearance. Be sure to use the S13 caliper bracket bolts on the Q45 bracket as the Q45 bolts may extend into the rotor. You can have the 5 lug rotors redrilled to 4 lug if needed and use the stock banjo bolt brake lines or get a set of steel braided lines for the S13.
