Is the 95' Q45 front brake caliper the same with the 97' Q45 front brake caliper with the exception that it uses a different rotor size, the 95' rotor size is 10.9 inches and the 97' is 11.6 inches, also are the brake lines the same can you use a 97' Q45 front calipers on a Q45 95'?

Another question is can someone post pics of a Q45 Master brake cylinder?

Thanks

yea i know about that website, so are you saying that a 97' Q45 front brake calipers will not bolt on to a S13, or 95' Q45?

Oh and thanks for the info on the MC, also arent the S13 lines 1 1/16, so is there an a adapter for a 1 to 1/16 lines? thanks

The 97 may work. the 90-96 is probaly a better choice.

Ill get some more info later

Why can't you just use a 90-96 one?

97 is different. 90-96 is the same as 300ZX, so it'd be the one you want to get.

Because it is smaller then the 97' .70 bigger but i guess that doesnt make to much of a difference

the 90-96 are probaly more abundant and you can probaly find more in the junk yard or in the BST section because of a chain guide issue with the 90-93. therefore they maybe cheaper. I think new the 97-01s are cheaper though
