QX50 calipers on 03FX45?

[guslackerdas]

Any of the FX masters can tell me if Akebono front calipers off of a 2014 QX50 will bolt right on to a 2003 FX45? I hear that all Akebono front calipers are the same, but I have only read the install guides saying FX50s and G37 calipers will bolt right on.

If the calipers will bolt right on... do I still order FX50 rotors or QX50? Is there a difference?

Thanks Much!

Good question, but just order the FX50 ones to be safe.
Fronts bolt on as if they were made for it. Rears will need some modding & additional parts (you can find info with a search), but once you do that, it's the same FX50/G37s Calipers

All FRONTS nissan / infiniti (such as 370z,FX50, M56, G37 sports) akebono calipers looking like the photos below are direct bolt-on to the FX35/fX45 (fronts).

One would also need to get new front bbk rotors, hardware kit form the same vehicles as calipers. Banjo bolts also have to be shorten. All had been discussed from the TC6 thread.


The rears are a bit more involved. Rear akebono calipers only fit if you have the fx50 rear knuckle and tc6 adapter kit (no longer sold). One would also need the rear bbk rotor, hardware kit and not necessary to shorten banjo bolts but the splash shield has to be trimmed.
