Hola. I have been looking for Q45s in nearest junk yards but were only able to find a '98 I30 there. Coult it be possible to use its front calipers in my '93 S13 hatch?

Also, extra question: Can somebody provide me with the part number from nissan for a good replacement for the hatch trunk dampers? Thanks a lot!

the J30 and Q45 brakes are identical. i think the I30's are smaller calipers, and 4 lug with smaller diameter rotors.

just get some stainless steel lines brembo blank rotors and a softer brake pad it will do wonders for brake feel and stopping power

Matter of fact is I am already swapping to 5 lugs (yes, flame me... i jumped into the SSR bandwagon) and would like to upgrade my brakes. As it will be impossible for me to use 300zx brakes, I found q45 ones are a good option. Been looking for these parts around but only was able to find I30 ones. Can somebody how different are these brakes from the ones for q45? Thanks!

like i said, the q45 and I30 brakes are different. I30's are smaller. q45 and j30 are the same, and both are 5-lug, so will be a bolt-on for you.
