q45 caliper

[hmong503]

so the last owner of my 240 said he put on 95 altima calipers but they look like q45 calipers. What do you guys think and if so off of what year? thanks

the only definitive way to tell if they are truly q45 calipers is to check if they are dual piston. the passenger side caliper will also have a threaded hole for the abs sensor/pad wear sensor.

I have a pair of Q45 calipers and those look exactly like them.

However I've read in numerous places that you can use Altima Rotors instead of Q45 rotors on a 4 lug car so perhaps Altima Calipers and Q45 calipers are as similar as Q45 calipers and J30 calipers.

thanks guys, were is a good place too order some cross drilled rotors and what brand? i know you said you can use both altima and q45 rotors but what would be the best to go with?

You want cross drilled just for looks?Cause they don't actual help stopping.If you want them for looks I have no idea..

If you get q45 rotors you'll have to drill them.If you get altima rotors watch that your pads don't get down that low because if you have q45 calipers the piston can over-extend if you use altma rotors and let the pads/rotors wear alot.
