300ZX brake caliper conversiom

So this is a younger group of Maxima owners and we need help with doing the conversion kit. I understand how to do the front calipers thanks to this site. http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm However for me and others who are curious can y'all help us out on how to swap the rear calipers. I don't assume its a direct bolt just looking at where out ebrake lines are positioned. Please your knowledge is welcomed.

Normally the rears aren't upgraded, most of the stopping power comes from the front.

This isn't a straight rotor/caliper swap on our Maximas is it? From what I understand the info in the link you provided is for a 240sx, but it appears to have a 5 lug conversion.

What about the front? I see some sweet calipers peeking through the wheel in your sig.

I'm looking for better brake bias that's why I'm not just doing the front. I do auto cross and aggressive braking.. Any suggestions?
