If you can get some 4 pot calipers and 5 stud rotors you can drill the rotors to 4 stud. 1 of the stud holes lines up, so you make a mandrel that locates the ventre bore of both rotors, and one of the stud holes and drill the other 3.

Would be cheaper than changing hubs and also wheels to 5 stud

We have brake specialist shops here in Oz. Just google one or several of them up and send some e-mails?

Just don't bother with GSL Rallysport, if you happen to find them.

Try ABS Auto (who I know are in Adelaide and are also in other capital cities). Googling "brake repair [capital city]" with the various state capitals will turn up a number of other specialist shops.

So, having just done rear pads on the Titan, I was reminded that last year when I checked them out the sliders were seized pretty well so I went looking for a rebuild kit. One piecing one together from US and Nissan sites it came to about $300. Or, you could buy off the shelf (although ironically OOS) pre-rebuilt calipers for about $50 cheaper like this: https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/power-stop-performance-brake-calipers-s2948/_/R-BHKQ-S2948

So I guess this could just be a cultural difference where in the US changing calipers is the quick and cheap default way to do this.

@bryan borges to do this the old fashioned way you need to identify the parts is to put your VIN in an online nissan catalogue like this: https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/nissan?_s=h, then head to the front brakes illustration (should be 440) to select the parts. It looks like they do a rubber kit but the pins are separate. You can then use the part numbers to choose a supplier

i have been on amayama. and i have found the right calipers for my car only to fine that the part numbers for the one pot calipers and two pot calipers are the same. how ever after doing some more digging i found that some year nissan pathfinders have the same front caliper style. not sure if they would fit but its worth a try. only $150 for new front set. if that dosent ill test my luck with getting the $500 calipers of amayama and hope there right!!
