I have searched through the forums to find a tech bulletin or someone who has done this before but didnt come across anything.

I was thinking of grabbing a used set of 2007 brakes since they are 12.6 fronts 2 piston and 12.0 in the rear. It would be a decent upgrade. My question is besides rotors, lines, pads and calipers is there anything else needed to mount them up? And can it be done easily without major modifications?

THanks in advance for the input!

 

I've got them on mine bitch!

(03 w/ 06 G35c brakes)

 

I had to weld the caliper to the rotor, but other than that it was cake... j/k.

the dust sheilds will need to be cut to fit the larger rotors, but you won't even need lines iirc, the stock ones fit fine, though you might want to get some SS lines.

they are a direct swap/

 

Perfect so they fit right up...I would just get rid of the dust shields...

I would go SS lines for sure..THanks a lot guys, can I see some pics!!

 

I (sadly) did not take direct 'before/after' pics.

I have some shots a while ago of my car I can post up, my camera is currently dead, but I'll charge it tonight (I just moved so I have ot unpack it) and take some after. I will tell you it is very noticeable in the front. the caliper is larger and looks more solid as well as the larger rotor. I have 19 inch TE37s so there are large gaps between the spokes so this helps fill it out much better.

I'll post them up this weekend if I find my powercord.

 

Wait a sec your profile says G35 05 brakes....They didnt redesign with the larger rotors until 06 or 07...Do you have the 2 piston caliper with 12.6 inch front rotors and 12.0 rear rotors??

 

the 05's did get the larger brakes. they are the larger 05G35c... I did not 'upgrade' to the same brakes I had

 

Cool so they are the 12.6 front and 12.0 rears?

Appreciate the input...I noticed you have TE37s I have LE37 19 inch get some pics up so i can see how it looks!! LOL

 

K.

the actual dimensions are as follows:

06-07 Non-Brembo Z / 05-06 G35 Coupe / 07 G35 Sedan non-Sport
Front: 2 piston 12.59 x 1.10
Rear: 1 piston 12.13 x 0.63

 

Do you know what the 07 G35 sport have? And I thought the 2005 G35 rwd and all 2006 G35 have the larger brakes too.

I read somewhere that in order to do this mod you also have to install the brake booster off the newer model also. Did you face that issues? Can you tell us how much the total swap cost? Thank you.

 

I DO know what the S models have

complete break down of specs on all brakes:

03 - 07 OE Brembo
Front: 4 piston 12.76 x 1.18
Rear: 2 piston 12.68 x 0.87

07 G35 Sedan SPORT
Front: 2 piston 13.0 x 1.3
Rear: 1 piston 13.0 x 0.6

06-07 Non-Brembo Z / 05-06 G35 Coupe / 07 G35 Sedan non-SportFront: 2 piston 12.59 x 1.10
Rear: 1 piston 12.13 x 0.63

08 G35 Coupe / Possibly 08-09 350Z?
Front: 4 piston 14.0 x 1.3
Rear: 2 piston 13.8 x 0.8

03-05 Z / 03-04 G35Front: 1 piston 11.65 x 0.95
Rear: 1 piston 11.50 x 0.63

 

Will the 07 sport sedan brake work? Also was the bake booster upgraded also?

 

Cutting the dust shield is a PITA.
