Hello, I have a set of Nissan Skyline BNR32 front brake calipers and rotors, wanted to know if these bolt directly onto my 1991 Q45 or I need some type of modifications to make it work. I think the rotors from the R32 are thicker and I haven't tried installing them on my car yet. Just wanted to hear some feedback or suggestions from any members that have installed this set of front brakes on their 91-96 Infiniti Q45? Thank you for your time!

I have a full set of R32 gtr brakes on my 94. The only modifications are to remove the dust shields from the front or at least modify them for the larger calipers. Other wise they are bolt on other than the other thing is you will need different soft brake lines; I used S13 to Z32 conversion lines which can be found anywhere. I don't like them that much though as they don't mount up very well.

I would recommend you change out the rear calipers with either r32 or z32 300zx calipers as your pedal might feel a bit mushy with the change in piston sizes without the full set. With the full set the brakes are fantastic and they use 300zx z32 pads so selection is quite good.

The Z32 TT brakes are the better brakes.

I have a set of z32 running bigger rotors on my 92. She stops on a dime!
