Thats it for the fronts. The rears will require the drum parking brake from the Q. The rears are very similar to Z32 rears as far as installation goes.

Heres a good guide for the Z32 swap.http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm

make sure you get the caliper and bracket, not just the caliper. if you are buying them new/rebuilt they usually just give you the caliper. if they are from a junkyard, it could go either way.

i believe 2000 Infiniti G20 rotors are perfect for the job. they're still 11" and they're already 4 x 114.3mm. only thing i don't know is thickness. in any case i plan to use the Q rotors to make sure it works right the first time.

as for rears, check out maximas, I30's, etc. there are some cars with the big rear brakes that use sliding calipers with integral parking brakes, which would make the swap much easier. then it would be a quick and simple bolt-on affair like the front.
