Are the rotors on an 06 the same as the 03-05?
Specifically the enthusiast model.

 

no i believe the 06 models non brembo have bigger brakes now.

 

Non track, non brembo:

2005 - Rotor diameter/thickness front is 11.65 x .95, rear is 11.50 x .63

2006 - Rotor diameter/thickness front is 12.59 x 1.10, rear is 12.13 x .63

 

Does anyone know if the calipers and pads were changed too? I'm looking to upgrade to Hawk HPS pads on my 06 but can't find an 06 part number anywhere yet.

 

what would you need to put the '06 brakes on an '05 (both non-brembo)...if the calipers and pads are the same, I wonder if there's a simple bracket adapter....I've decided not to buy a BBK b/c of the $$, this might be a cheaper solution.

 

I'm quite sure the callipers and pads are different. I believe the fronts are now dual piston (both on the inside). Also, look at the difference in rotor width. The calipers would need to be redesigned to handle the extra width. BTW, the G35 had those brakes in '05. Maybe someone with a BBK will be selling their stockers. Better yet, maybe you can find a set of Brembos for sale.

you just got the 2006 model and need rotors and pads alrdy?
must drive ALOT ahahha

 

For non track, non brembo: 2005 has dual caliper pistons on the front, the 2006 has single caliper pistons.

 

Nope - Other way around - Do you really think they'd go to a larger brake, and reduce the caliper count

I sure do....you can't contest the facts.

 

The 05 non-brembo front/rear is one piston, I'm fairly certain of it.

 

And you'd be 1/2 wrong...

 

You sure that's not a typo? The 03's and 04's have single piston. It doesn't seem likely that they would add them for 05 then take them back to single for 06.

 

He's wrong. Notice that the front description is plural - Pistons. Pistons, means more than one. I've looked at the brakes on the 05 and 06, and 06 is two pistons both located on the inside, earlier is one piston, also located on the inside.

so 03-04 are 1 piston and 05+ are 2 pistons??

 

they are all 1 piston

 

Of course, that's always a possibility.

 

No, I just copied it from a technical breakdown of the 2005 Z. I've got a 2006, or I'd run out and check.

 

Here's the source of my postings that I here-to-fore believed to be accurate:

If there's any spec here that is known to be incorrect, lets uncover it so we can use these specs with confidence (albeit redlined).

 

so 2006 is 2 piston and 2005 and earlier are 1 piston????
whats the conclusion?
