G35 Brembo on 2003 Maxima?

[swpS13]

Has anyone ever done this? i tried searching but i suck at using the system

With a relocation bracket and the correct wheels, I don't see why it can't be done. I've seen Ferrari brakes on a 6th gen Maxima so why not this?

I believe that an adaptor is needed and that can be obtained from Blehmco...Google it!

you will also need steel braided lines, the brembo rotors, and the correct brake fluid. The fluid is different b/c of the aluminum calipers and stainless pistons.

I thought that blehmco just did z32 calipers with big brakes? The DOT numbers (except for 5) just refer to different boiling points, not any metal compatibility.

yes, higher boiling point, but also as I understand it there are some brake fluids out there that have a better chemical structure to avoid piston freezing on the calipers. The Calipers themselves are aluminum, and the pistons are stainless steel. Oxidation can occur between the piston wall and caliper...hence using certain chemical compounds and needing a higher boiling point!

I haven't been able to find anything that specifies metal compatibilities in addition to the boiling point differences of the fluids. The FSM for a z32 does spec out DOT-3 for the brakes while 4 and 5 were available at that time.

Instead of adapting the G35 kit you should prolly just get the kit for that year maxima. Prolly be same price and less trouble.

Why? at the above poster

do you not understand that he's trying to upgrade his brakes, not trying to go with pretty much the same thing thats already there
