Standard Break Calipers

Could you put the "Nissan" brake calipers on the regular standard rotors or you need to change everything on it?

If you are referring to the Sport Brake package Akebono calipers (with the Nissan logo on the face), then a lot of parts would need to be changed over (rotors, brake lines, etc.). The master cylinder is also different.

Usually the sport package Brake upgrade kits include: Calippers, rotors,pads and nuts/bolts... Master Cylinder or lines are not listed, Master Cylinder is listed as compliant with all models, however brake Servo control is listed as different, however I haven't found an different part #. I'm planning into upgrading to SP brakes.

I'm not sure what listing you are reading, but the OE master cylinder sizes are different between the Sport and standard models.
