So the G35 brembo's bolted right on?

What did you modify?

Did you just buy the calipers and discs, or do the brembo's have a different caliper mount.

Did you need to replace the master cylinder?


Thanks! I think many of us want to do what you did, it looks Great!

Everthing just bolts right on. The only Mod that need to be made is in the rear. 1 You can order new rear plate protectors to fit the latger rotors, or cut down the exsisting. The rear bolts are longer with the brembo, but get those when you purchse the brakes. That was it, it took longer to bleed then install. 2 hrs total.

Cool I am glad to hear it did not require a change of the master cylinder.

Just check the G35 forums. That is where I found this guy selling his. He had only 25 miles on them.

Nothing. The fronts fit perfectly! OYou only have to wrry about the rear rotors. Because of the larger rotor, the non-brembo back plate is to small. So you now have to choices.

1. Hack the lip on the backplate off so you can fit the brembo rotor.

2.Order the brembo back palte from Nissan($74) and make it look OEM.

No. as i said above. It's plug-n-play. Except for the rear back plate.
