any 5.5gens with Y33 Q45 brakes?

The 5th gen forum directed me here.. I know that the Y33 (97-01 Q45) and A33b (02-03 Maxima) have the same outside diameter on the front rotor (11.65"), so i was wondering if anybody ran the full-on Y33 tqmember/pad/caliper combo on their 5.5gen? Or if anybody tried but ran into problems. Thanks in advance.

yea the G50 will work on milled 11" rotors. I guess they will still work on stock 5.5gen rotors (11.65") if relocation brackets are made, which is what i might end up doing since the Y33 stuff is kinda rare, and i would have to pay $200 each for semi-loaded ones from Autozone with no idea if they would actually fit properly.
