AP Racing rotor

I currently have the AP racing BBK on the front and rear. I want to upgrade the front rotor to a bigger size. Would the front rotor from the 370z 6 piston setup work with my 4 piston caliper? Is the 370 brake setups compatible with the maxima?

How would a larger rotor fit without getting a new caliper relocation bracket?

oh... also you would need to run larger rims! currently 17" is the minimum size you can run with the kit, if you run a bigger rotor with a relocation bracket that pushes the caliper further from the hub center 17" rims are then too small. If u decide to run a bigger rotor and upgrade your rims, get lighter rims because the larger rotor will add weight and a larger but lighter rim will counteract that added unsprung weight! Lastly, if u purchase new rims check your offset and rim to caliper clearance or you'll be hit'n yourself in the face after all your purchases :-/
