Thats what i was afraid of. I'm pretty sure these calipers are off of the first gen Q45. Ive been looking up ways to know for sure what years the calipers are physically, but i guess ill just have to match up the old pads that came with them to know.

Hated how plain the Q45 calipers looked compared to the Z32 calipers, so I tried this. Supposed to be high temp decals for calipers, and will be throwing clear coat over them as well so we will see if it holds up. Not sure if anyone has thought to do this before or not. Also, still on the search for performance pads for the 1st gen Q45 calipers so I can finish my brakes up.
Guess i'll just be getting the Akebono ProACT pads and see how those do if nothing else. Last edited by grimm199; 07-15-2015 at 03:25 PM.. |

installed some CTSV calipers with a mazworx bracket...I gotta say I do not like the mazwork bracket because you have to grind so much material down on the backside of the caliper just to get it to sit flush.... they stop super easy, but I have not gotten a brake portioning system yet. I still have not found anything for the rear of a 240 for bolt on brake upgrades besides dual calipers.

Mazworx brackets, Stoptech Evo 7-9 discs and the Cts-v calipers. Had to modify the bracket because they are designed for non-ABS hubs and I got ABS.. |

Kouki V35/4-door V36 front dual pot calipers (320mm, clears SSR SL disk faces)
...on drilled stock S13 knuckles (12mm --> 14mm a la R34/Z33 Brembo): Great when you want to run SL disk (deep dish) wheels in front, less great when you're on LMGT4s! |

Front:
Wilwood Forged Superlites Stoptech Z33 Track Rotor Wilwood BP-20 Pads Stoptech Lines SPL Parts Cooling Deflectors Rear: Z32 Caliper and Rotors Carbotech 1521 or AX6 Pads Stoptech Lines Motul RPF600 Fluid This has turned out to be a great setup for the street and track. Have had zero fade in multiple track days. Wilwoods consumable costs are way better then Brembos. Thicker pads last longer and are cheaper for the same compounds. Still wanting to put in a Z32 master and B13 booster. Last edited by DRFT180; 03-30-2016 at 09:05 AM.. |

Killer setup! What rear pads are you running? Did you run this setup before you installed the SPL brake cooling duct? If so, did you see a difference in fade, etc? |

Nothing impressive, but they're as big as I can go with 15s, and would have just barely scraped if I didn't have a 5mm spacer.
Q45 front brakes. Rebuilt/cleaned/painted, Axxis Metal Master pads, Brembo rotors from a 94 Altima (4 lug), and Agency Power SS lines. The increase in stopping power is very noticeable.

I hoping to finish Up my rear upgrade to compliment my ctsv brakes up front. Going with gktech rear dual caliper set and running wilwood calipers and stock ones for ebrake. Only rear setup I've found that will work for what I want.
Does anyone have recommendations on a proportioning valve?? |

What they originally looked like I didn't go with a 2-piece rotor mostly due to budget, and could always upgrade later. Quote:
The brake cooling ducts have always been on the car since before doing lapping days, so I don't have a before or after comparison. |

That looks SICK, but...
I wanted to keep: 1) costs down (this cost me 300 incl rotors and pads at my local junkyard) 2) # of caliper pistons/pots to a minimum -- I'm on the original 15/16 bmc and the pedal feel is still very good! and 3) wheel clearance at a maximum -- so I can run super deep dish fronts! (or at least maintain decent lip, especially now that I went and got S14 flcas and GP sports knuckles...) |

Thanks! I have the SPL tension rods, and am trying to decide whether I should run their cooling ducts, or fabricate my own flex tubing ducts. |

Need some info on brake replacement parts. I have Jdm Kouki 180sx/rps13 front calipers and rotors on my 89 coupe.
I cannot figure out what pads and rotors to order to refurbish this setup. The jdm Kouki 180sx brakes are slightly larger diameter than the usdm s13 brakes. Possibly the spec v Sentra rotors/pads? Maxima? I cannot find the specification for the 180sx brake size online... |

I have z33 track calipers and rotors in the front and in the back. I needed to change one of the "ears" on the knuckles to make the calipers fit. I'm using steel aftermarket knuckles, so it wasn't a big problem. Grind it off and weld it back. Was going with a z32 handbrake setup, but couldn't get it to work. Right side didn't lock up. Probably because of the aftermarktet knuckles. Think i needed to change one of the r33 handbrake cables to a s13 one (which are normally to short if i'm not mistaken). But i just gone with a hydraulic handbrake. BMC is a z32 non abs bm57. Balance if pretty off, rear needs more force. Rear end is just to loose when braking hard. Dancing all over the place when braking hard. As you can see in the picture, the rear caliper is sitting pretty low:
