i have a q45 out back that has no motor transmission or front bumper everything else is there and i was wondering what parts i can use off it. i was wanting to use the lsd diff bit im not sure it will be a bolt on part. i also want to get the brakes off it but there 5 lug rotors now does that mean i have to take the whole hub or does the lug part (forgot the name of it) come off and i swap it to my hub. if someone could help that would be great.

haha! you lucked out. you can use the vlsd but you have to get a axle from a 300zx tt (if you cant find it just order a reman) and use the rear end,hubs and axles (one from the q45 and one from the 300zx tt) you can use the brakes all the way around from it. you have 3 options, drill the 5 lug rotors to 4, get 5 lug hubs or buy rotors that are 4 lug for those. if you use the hubs and axles for the rear when doing the vlsd swap might as well get front 5 lug hubs. for the rear parking brake the q45 assembly is the exact same part is the 300zx so find a diy 300zx brake swap guide on here and everything is the same.the cool part is that the q45s dont require conversion lines. as for the bmc im not sure if the q45 will fit havent looked because i went 300zx brakes but researched all this with the q45s and 300zx to see what was best. if the vlsd has a wheel speed sensor in the front snout you will have to have your driveline shortened or by a one piece (good excuse to upgrade) also with the q45 pinion shaft you rather have to use your pinion or drill the wholes in the q45 pinion to bolt to what ever driveline you decide to go with. hope this helps.
