More pics to come since I still have to bleed the inner-bleeder, but I swapped the Brembo's off my G35 coupe onto my Z and picked up slotted Brembo rotors and Hawk HPS pads.

Do the brembo calipers use the same bracket as the OEMs?

Are those 18" wheels or 19". Those rotors sure fill them good.

Do you know if the Track Z uses the same MC as the other Z's without the brembos?

yeah the SF challenge is a great wheel for the oem brembos, for some reason they look huge behind the rim, and seem to fill inside the entire rim

my SF's are 19s and the brakes look awesome through the spokes. Every traffic light people just stare at the front rim now as soon my discs go, ill have to fit some cross drilled brembo discs

Did you get new brake lines? Also do you plan to upgrade the G35 brakes to something that will work better and last longer like the 06 Z or G brakes?

I didn't get new brake lines, but I should have. I will get stainless steel braided lines soon, it won't be hard to change those.

I plan on keeping the G the way it is, it stops fine Since it's my daily driver, it's also a lot cheaper to change brakes on the G with the stock Z brakes vs. the Brembos which don't last long and are expensive.

I'd get stainless steel lines for both cars as an added protection.
