Q45 front brake conversion?
Hey you guy just wondering if it's simple (as in everything bolts on) to install q45 calipers and rotor onto an s13 without any problem? P.s I know I got to cut off the dust plate.

But yeah all you'll need is the calipers, rotors, trim the dust/heat shield (I didn't like that idea myself so I just took a little extra time to remove it completely and I think it's worth it.), bleed the brakes, and done. If you want to remove the dust/heat shield you'll need a breaker bar and I believe it was 33mm or 30mm. Idk. Up to you. Swap was very worth it, you'll like it. |

Most don't worry about the backs because you lose the ebrake. I don't know of a single rear setup using the Q45 ebrake but you might be able to do a Z32 rear swap for rotors and run the Q caliper.

Exactly, I only did the front. My stock rear brakes with new pads do just fine. Not going to lose my ebrake to spend more money and lose my ebrake/parking brake.

Good to hear this.
I have had Q45 calipers sitting in my garage for a while now, and (long story short) my brakes are finally going bad, so I just bought ceramic pads and rotors. I first need to find a shop that can re-drill the rotors for 4-lug. Are there any considerations/complications with this that I should be aware of? Also I have a friend with a sand blaster so I wanted to clean up the calipers and paint them red while its easy. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Also out of curiosity, I have some J30 rear calipers, and was wondering if they would fit the rear (if they are better at all anyway)? I got them when I was trying to get a J30 rear end and the junkyard was so lazy they just cut out the whole rear subframe and gave it to me for $100 |

if you want to upgrade the back, you can always use the 11" altima rotors with the z31 caliper carrier brackets and s13/s14 calipers... cheap, simple and you don't need a bigger master...
just a thought |

That's what I'm using right now, you just take out the whole knuckle with e-brake assembly and cable. All you have to do is modify the cable or set new mounting points or it. |
