Default Wanna swap my d2 8 pot to an sc300

I have a 2012 g37 x s sedan with 8 pot front and rears. Might be a dumb question but can I put them on my 97 sc300 without any mods? Need answer quick cuz I'm selling my G. Thanks

does D2 have a bracket from the caliper to knuckle? if yes, you probably need the bracket from D2 that is made for the SC.

Sorry, didn't see the "without any mods" part.
Go buy a bracket and rotors. Done.

Do they even make a bracket for this? Pretty sure it would have to be custom.

The answer is simply no, that will need a custom bracket setup at the least. now if someone sells one of those you can check online but I doubt it.

D2 racing makes bbk set up for both g37 and sc and they are same size rotors. 330x32 or 356x32mm

So answer to your question. Buy sc rotors and caliper brackets.

If you ever decide to sell, I would love to take them off your hands.

OP maybe you should post a picture of the mounting bracket. If it's anything like a Brembo caliper. You can have or be able to order the right mounting bracket.

If the D2 rotor's are 2pcs. Then you will just need the rotor hats & brackets & probably new hardware for the rotors. That's what I had to buy from Stoptech when I got my used set. Don't know how much D2 stuff is... But my Stoptech brackets & rotor hats set me back $900...

Brakes are coming off tomorrow. I'll snap some pics. D2 is in Australia and I'll try and contact them. If it's a big issue to swap em. I guess I will sell all 4 8pots and rotors
