Can A32s run G50 brakes without serious modification?

A large number of A32 owners have run Z32 turbo 30mm 4-piston brakes, but I was wondering about running the 26mm Q45 (G50) brakes. Has anyone done it? Aren't they 2-piston?

Also, would the stock-sized A32 rotors work with the G50 brakes?

they will bolt up, but the rotors should be swapped also.

i doubt the A32 rotors will work with the Q/J caliper. also, not sure if the brake lines will match.

the Q45 and J30 use the same front calipers [twin piston]. the J uses vented disc rear rotors, but i dont know if they will fit an A32.

when i get another project J30, the fronts from the J will be installed on my G/F's maxima.

since the J and Q have 15" wheels stock, the wheel fitment shouldnt be a problem.

single piston rears. the J has the vented rear discs.
