Default Has anyone upgrade to the 06 calipers?

I tried to do it and my brake system flat out doesnt work. I have a brand new master and it still doesnt work. If you have done this and it works please tell me how.

Tehre was one guy a long time ago who tried putting the 06 caliper onto a non-Brembo G35 coupe. He never got around to telling us whether or not he succeeded..

Good luck bro!

What doesnt work about it , if they bolt up and you bleed them out it would work just fine.

Doesnt the brembo have a larger master cylinder? Well see how my z does on 332 and 328 stoptechs.

I have a Touring that I upgraded the brakes on so I still used the oem master cylinder.

Quite frankly I dont know why the master on my 04 cant support the 06 stuff. Maybe the pistons are that large or the calipers are bypassing. Either way stoptechs coming.
