    Yes they'll be fine
    It is the pipe threads that will possibly be different if you use the brake hoses from the VS calipers. Get two new copper washers and reuse your current brake hoses from the calipers.

    vp s2 till vs are the v8 calipers..... (pretty sure?)

    so for you to throw the vs calipers on a vn you will need the 290mm(?) v8 disk...... because if i remember right your current v6 one's are like 270mm.....

    ^ correct

    vp s2 - vs v6 are the same as the vn-vs v8 calipers. you will need compatible rotors for the calipers to be of any use to you.
