Anyone do this yet?

I have a loaner 2015 Q70 AWD (not S from what I gather) and it has nice calipers with "Infiniti" printed on them. Anyone know if these can be used on the older Y51's?

Can you take a pic? Seems like the S model breaks but would like to verify to make sure. Do they look like these?

Yes, they look like that. The car has no S badge on the back. So those aren't just standard calipers on the 2015's? I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

Does the loaner have the sport 20's? You can upgrade the car to the sport wheels and brakes without having the entire sport package. I'm guessing that was the case with your loaner.

Ahh, maybe. Yes, I believe they are 20's.

Thought so. Then yeah they're definitely the sport calipers.

I upgraded my breaks to those, it can be done with any model year M.

Thanks Insane.

Do the backing plates need to be changed as well? I bought pads, calipers, pins and rotors, what else do I need?

I'd imagine the mounting bracket is the same...

I think I read somewhere that the dust shields need to be trimmed to fit the larger rotors. Everything else is direct bolt-on.

Yes, the rear shields need to be taken off.

Nice. If I don't go with an Akebono BBK in the future, I might opt for this as I assume it's a bit cheaper.

This is actually Akebono BBK they make them for infiniti

Oh, so it's the same thing that Tunerz Store sells? Good to know.

That is correct

Thanks dudes.

OP how did you not know that sport Y51's come with these brakes? LOL im sure they will bolt right up like previous gens and the rear dust shiled either needs trimming or removal.

Mex, his loaner wasn't a sport y51 that's why. I explained up top

There is no S badge on the back of the car. Just Q70 and AWD. Or do they not put an S designation on the new Q's anymore?

They did on mine, granted mine is a 14.

Like I said I'm fairly certain your loaner is a standard 70 just with the sport wheels and brakes added. Look at the headlights, are they chrome or black? Are there paddles shifters inside? Is there a front lip spoiler? Those are other indicators for whether or not it's a sport vs. Non sport.

Nope, none sport. But the car does feel more nimble and willing to turn than my car.

G37 sedan or coupe. 370z all fit the M or q70.all the same.need to swap rotors to,if you have stock brakes and rotors.

This is good information to know. Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing to. quick question would that fit on a 2010 M35X ? If so can someone post the link up?

I highly doubt this would fit as the Y51 (2011+) is a different platform from the Y50 (2006-2010).

That is incorrect, the Akebonos fit the Y50 as well. These calipers are no different than the ones people have install led on the 50's.

i guessing it will fit also do anyone have the links on purchasing them?

I stand corrected.
