I have done countless hours of searching and I know I am probably in the wrong section but who else knows better then the 240 community about q45 brake upgrades...


So.... I'm upgrading the front calipers and rotors on my versa to Q45 calipers and rotors. The problem I am having is that the stock caliper bracket bolts for the versa do not fit into the Q45 caliper bracket. The versa bolts are too small...

But what I fond very strange is that while I was at the junkyard I also picked some J30 calipers and brackets. The J30 caliper and bracket bolted up perfectly to the Versa.

Did I by any chance buy the wrong year Q45 caliper? Because I have read countless write ups about the q45/j30 calipers bolting DIRECTLY up to a 240... how is this possible if the bracket bolts on the Q45 are much larger?

I believe the Q45 caliper I pulled was a 96 (first gen)

If I had to guess I'd say the stock versa caliper bracket bolts (the ones that fit into the J30 caliper bracket) are probably a m12 and from the looks of it the Q45 are a m14... Can ANYONE clear this up for me??? :wtf2:
