Q45/5.5th gen hybrid

Sorry for cross-posting, but I thought there might be knowledgeable here on this subject. OK, some B15 (2000-06 Sentra) guys discovered that Q45 calipers were direct bolt on when using their original torque members and rotors. Start reading at post #14.
B15/Q45 caliper swap

What Im curious about, is will 5.5 or 6th gen rotors and torque members and Q45 calipers mate up and work without heavy machining? My Idea is a junkyard BBK for highway driving and filling up the 17"s on the Maximustang. Im not interested in kits, brackets or hubrings for Cobras, only junkyard parts.

If ANYONE has this combination of parts laying around, please mock it up and share results.

Q45 brakes are a direct swap to 300zx. Look through the 300zx brake conversion and that's what you'll need. I have experience using Q45 brakes on 300zx's, and 240sx's, but not on Maxima 's so I won't pretend to know for sure, but the 300zx brackets fit the Q45 calipers just fine.

That's with Jeff's kit and Cobra rotors. What I want is 5.5 or 6gen brakes with Q45 calipers.

I would really just like to know if the q45 calipers fit the maxima brackets.
