hey, so i'm going to the junkyard on sat and i've decided i will be doing the q45 brake swap on my 240 (cheaper than z32)

so i just wanted to know if there are any differences between the 1st and 2nd gen brakes, i know that the 1st gen brakes do fit but i haven't been able to find whether or not the 2nd gen ones fit,

any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

Or do you mean G50 vs Y33?

well i dont think it should be too much of a problem, usually i check to make sure the car isn't too beat up, usually i check the odometer see how many kms it has

probably wont cost me more than 50-75 canadian

comes with a waranty as well1 month
