you can use anything you want if you have the correct relocation brackets made for it.....they do not bolt-up directly though...offset is wrong.

why not just use the z32 calipers with matt's or jeff's kit? That is more than enough brakes for the maxima (trust me, I know).

Speed if you got a line on a set for cheap, hook me up for my G35

But for your case, no, it's not a direct bolt up. I suspect the rotor offsets are okay. But you will probably have to shave the rotors down a few mm.

Rear? Not sure. If the Z uses an internal drum like the maxima, you might have a chance. You will probably have to do the same shaving thing as the front.

Irish. Since the mounting bores are so close, I don't think a bracket can be made. At least no easily. I suspect the caliper will have to be offset higher or lower.

You might want to try the Sti Brembo Calipers + the Evo Rotors.. and the rears as well. Bunch of the 240 guys are using those calipers + and rotors, but they require a bracket. You might want to go onto www.zilvia.net to seek more information.
