G35/350Z Brembo calipers on Y33?

Post by **Ludeaem** » Fri Aug 16, 2019 6:32 pm

I've searched for quite a while in this forum and did not come up with anything concrete.

Do they bolt up?

Found out through other channels that indeed, they DO fit without modifications.

Good to know! If you do this, please post up your thoughts on how it works out.

Will do. Most likely will be a 2020 project but I hear you may have to trim the dust shield but that should be it. Of course, you'd use new rotors and brake lines from the 03+ G35/350

Rock auto sells china/brembo knockoffs, running a set now on a J30, they seem to be decent enough.

Yup, that's most likely what I'll do. Don't care if they are heavier. I'll paint them if need be and slap a brembo sticker on it.

I have the same question but, I wanted to know if 370z Nismo calipers can fit on my F50

Quick update with pictures

Read 17's fit and i'm glad they fit the stockers. However, there is a 15mm spacer but I THINK they work without them but will check in the near future. Had to buy a 350z brembo banjo bolt, lightly trimmed the dust shield by the upper mounting bolt, 350z brembo pads and rotors along with some paint. Done.

Dayum, those G35 wheels and orange look sweet. I need to get my calipers made over. Had a shop install some from OReileys, which is general good with parts... but after a couple trips to the beach and some rain... they turned orange due to rust. Cleaned and scraped them up, applied rust preventative gel, started to rust a little again after a couple car washes.

And the stock rims are always a feat to keep clean so the wheel cleaner likely cleans it right back off.

Yes, front 350z/G35 Brembo calipers and rotors are a bolt on upgrade, and can fit behind the stock 17" wheel without a spacer. I've been running a set on my 2001 Q45t for years. I recommend buying the four caliper bolts (08044-4501A) for the 350z since the stock Q45 bolt don't have enough thread engagement. The 350z bolts are a little too long, so I had to stack two washers on each bolt.

^ You are 100% correct. While the stock bolts work they don't go as deep in the caliper as I'd like thus if you get M14x1.5 Grade 8.8 bolts (45mm length) you'll be set

@Ludeaem - Did you upgrade the rear brakes too?

Post by **Ludeaem** » Mon Sep 07, 2020 11:38 am

No i left those stock

If you decide to upgrade the rear brake system, 300zx (Z32) rear calipers and rotors are a direct bolt-on as well. They are easy to source, relatively cheap and pair well with the front 350z Brembo calipers.

Still love the look of these brakes but a word to those who might do this. Since the piston/s size is larger (more surface area) than the stockers, I have yet been able to activate ABS. This may not be an issue for some but could be for others.

I have a 97 Nissan Gloria and I have zero clue as to what pads, rotors, to use on the car. Many people say swapping the calipers but I don’t know what to use. I’ve tried Maxima parts and J30 pads which both haven’t worked.

These guys have a dimensional rotor catalog, you might try measuring yours and seeing if anything matches up:
