yes they require custom brackets, its extremely expensive

Every brake kit has brackets even the Akebonos. No big deal, I'm sure you can do for the same price as the Ksport and its Nissan OEM.

You can always just replace your pads with some decent ceramics. If costs are a concern but you still want something that looks half decent, you can always try these out. Much easier than picking up 2-part caliper paint.

Or for pennies on that dollar. Hahahahaha! Oh lawdy, almost thought you were serious, Mark! Oh wait.... you were? Oooops.

It makes me smile every time I see those caliper covers

I heard caliper covers alter the aerodynamics of the spinning air vortex inside the wheel thus creating a venturi effect pulling more air into the intake for more horsepower and creating more downforce for some serious cornering abilities without a detrimental impact on the unsprung weight at the corners.

I was merely half serious . I'm honestly shocked how much these covers cost now. I thought they would be like $50.00 tops. But in all seriousness, if you're on a budget, then the G2 Caliper paint kits are the best way to go. They take time, patience, and effort when done right. But the G2 kits are durable, cheap, and look great. I'll admit I painted my base model Z brakes gloss black with a G2 kit until I was ready to upgrade. I couldn't stand looking at my nice wheels with the dirty looking stock calipers poking between the spokes.

Just givin' ya a hard time.

But look, one can "adapt 8 piston AMG" brakes to a car for under forty bucks!!



eBay is your friend. Snort snort...

Speaking of giving one a hard time and AMG, I went to a Cars & Coffee a couple months ago and some guy asked me if my Benz was a real AMG. I was like "Well, what do you think?" (without lifting the hood). Guy trolls me further with "Anyone can put emblems on their car."

Was thinking, "Should I put this guy in his place?" I mean honestly, do I really LOOK like the kind of guy who needs to put on airs?

I just laughed at the comment. What a waste of my time and a life.


Oh wow, man, I love this forum cuz I learn SO much!! Man, I gotta git me some o'dem!! Venturi, vortex, downforce, cornering, no weight penalty! Hot dam!

OK, people, do I need to tell ANY ONE person this is fah-see-shus? Cuz lawdy, just know SOMEONE's gonna believe it. Ha!

OK, this has gone far off topic from the thread. I explain my "Eurotrash fanboying here."

I think we've all been there at some point in our life. I am also guilty of painting my base calipers orange before I swapped to a BBK, But, +1 on the G2 caliper paint kit. Like all painting, if you put in the proper prep time, it will turn out well. The paint gets a little thick and cures faster when it's warm outside, so it would be best to do it when it's around 60-70 degrees.

I used G2 for my diff too, worked like a charm.

Hello so I bought 350z brembo kit for the front but I wanted to know for the rear if I went with 370z brembo calipers on the rear would I get 370z rotors or 350z because it’s on a 350. To me 370z rotors makes a lot more sense but I just want to make sure.

MicVelo

Z34 never had Brembos, only Akebono for their Sport/Niz brakes.You will definitely need new rotors for the rear Brembo or Akebono as compared to what I presume are the non-Brembos you're replacing. They are both larger diameter and thicker (by a fair amount) than standard brakes. For brake balance, would suggest you source a 2-piston Brembo rear setup to match the front.

^13"front and 14"rear is a terrible idea

Appreciate it!!! This is probably the route imma go.
