Z32/Q45 rear drum brake swap - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have looked at previous threads about the similarities of the rear drum brake swap. They don't really touch base on the anchor bolts though. Are the anchor bolts the same as the thin z32 or the fat z32 one? A possibility to buy a whole q45 rear subframe with the drum brake assembly has popped up, don't want to miss the opportunity.

I believe they are the style that doesn't need washers, but I can'trecall for certain. However, be mindful that only the G50 Q45s have the correct style drums. Anything after 96 has pressed bearings and different design.

But hey, if you come across another normal-priced set let a mans know.

Its out of a 94 q45 so it should be the correct era

Yeah should be good. Regardless of the style, the q45 parking brakes are identical to the z32 ones, so it will work.
