Only today I got my hands on a set of Skyline R32 brakes. I will be redrilling the rotors to 4 lug and painting a calipers red . For now I'll be reusing the Skyline's brake lines. Can't wait

I have debated upgrading my brakes, and I've decided to not go with either. I'm going with Q45's. I don't know what your future goals are, but from the advice I got, if your goals are around 200-250 HP go with the Q45's. I've heard from a lot of people that z32/r32 can be a little overkill. But if your goals are substantially higher, or it's going to be a pure track car, then go with the bigger brakes.

Just my $.02

I had q45 brakes with hawk pads on my s13, they are way more than enough, I did a HPDE event and had no brake fade, they rock!!! I am going z brakes on s14, purely because they look cooler lol, and I got the calipers for 20 bucks.

GL!

i'm selling some q45 brakes right now. the easiest swap there is, straight plug and play, except for the heat shield. you don't even have to change the soft lines.

i have another set that i'm blasting, painting, and rebuilding before selling, if anyone here wants first dibs on them.
