Hey I was looking at moms 95 nissan V6 w2d Pickup yesterday and i noticed that it had very nice sized front breaks... They are 2 piston and the rotors look substantially bigger than the stock S13 fronts. It would be more cost effective to do this swap from a junkyard that trying to get Rare Z32 breaks from a yard. (Ar least around here)

You could also totally trump the 5 lug guys and just go straight to 6 :D

There are some seriously nice factory pathfinder wheels out there. They have to be cheep...

These for example

Perhaps i'll go pick up a caliper and see if i can get it to bolt to the S13 hub...

Q45 brakes are a good alternative too. i got used rotors and calipers for 110 shipped. probobly gonna replace the rotors some time later this summer though. they do requiere some cleaning but otherwise they look good, havent installed them yet though :( rotors arent in yet

Without searching because I'm lazy and about to run for lunch but how is the Q45 brake install? 5-lug? bolt right on? etc...

the q45 is 5 lug, it's supposed to fit inside the stock 15" wheel. it bolts right on to the stock caliper mount and uses the same brake lines. if u got 4 lug, you gotta redrill or get a conversion
