G35/350Z Brembos on an Altima Coupe?

[TA2 TA]

Don't know if this has been discussed yet & I hope I'm not posting this thread in the wrong area of the forum.

But I wanted to know if anyone has tried putting on the Brembos from a G35/350Z onto an Altima Coupe.
Was it a success or failure? & if it worked, what needed to be done in order for them to fit.

Thanks in advance.

Its possible, search and you will find the thread. You need different bolts.

I only found the thread for the G37 Akebono brakes, not the Brembos.

I believe the rears will fit, but the fronts will require custom caliper brackets. I have seen brackets to fit g37 brakes on a g35/350z, but I have not seen brackets to put the g35 brakes on a g37. (the altima coupe and g37 have the same caliper mounts)

f***, is there anyone else that can drop some knowledge about this. I'm about to buy some calipoers, rotorrs & brake lines for my Altima Coupe at a steal price. I don't wanna make the wrong decision.

I only know of the akebono's being a direct bolt on, only having to either alter or buy a new banjo bolt. WIth the Brembo's, I am pretty sure you'll have to get a custom bracket for it to fit. If you're getting the brakes cheep enough, getting a bracket fabbed shouldn't be too bad.

Getting the 4 calipers, 4 rotors & 4 brake lines for $750. Gonna spend another $50-$100 to get it painted the same Tiffany Blue as my harness bar. So not bad in my opinion.

Has anyone actually put the Brembos on their Altima Coupe before? I wanna see pics & know what they had to do? How they made the custom bracket etc.

From my research online, I read that the rears directly bolt on without any problems but the fronts require shaving down a tad bit.

When I ordered my wheels last August, I made sure to have them put the backspacing to fit these specific Brembos. So maybe that'll help.

Edit: Only 4 calipers with rear rotors & rear brake lines. Still not bad.

I think dangeris is running brembos

[spawn01]

Dangeris was running AP racing brakes, brakes that were designed for the ac. The G35 brembos are not going to fit on the front. A custom bracket will be required to make these fit. You will have to find a machine shop to make them. This could be very costly. The custom bracket will look something like this

This bracket is to mount G37 sport (akebono brakes) to a g35 or 350z

These brackets run anywhere from 200$ to 400$. They are popular because it is a brake upgrade for the g35. A reverse bracket would be like a g37 wanting to take 14 in brakes off and put on 13 in brakes, that is why there is no brackets for what you are looking for. I am not saying it cant be done. I am sure you can get the brackets made. I am just not sure about the cost. You want brembos on the AC, get G37 brembo big brake kit (not cheap). I would just make sure that you can get the brackets before you invest the money and time.

Damn, I didn't know the Akebonos were that much bigger than the Brembos. & since they're a direct bolt on I kinda like that as opposed to having custom brackets mde.... how much do the front & rears usually go for?

[MetallicSlate]

I know the fronts go for 250 a caliper not including brake lines or rotors or pads. Pricing out the front calipers, front pads and front rotors alone is over a grand as I recall. Then brake lines was like an extra 200 or so. A BBK is almost not worth it to me unless you're tracking the car. I'd just paint the ones you've got and call it a day if its for show.

[TA2 TA]

Go big or go home is what I always like to say. I found the Akebono BBK brand new for $890 shipped. I'd just need pads, rotors & brake lines.

I'll building a show car that'll eventually make it to the track.

Okay, so if I get these Akebonos, what pads, rotors & brake lines will fit on the Altima Coupe?

I'm leaning more towards Stillen.

Also, what offset would my wheels have to be in order to clear them?

[SanoSuKe]

Stillen all the way.

I've seen your setup and I don't think you'll have a problem with clearance.

Am I reading this correctly? G35/350z caliper brackets WONT bolt to the Altima hub, but G37/370z will?!
I’m upgrading for sure if that’s the case!?
