Hopefully you're buying more than just the Brembo calipers. Both front and rear rotors are larger (both in diameter and thickness) and you'll need to verify the parts came off a G35 Coupe. Spec V Brembos look similar but have different specs than the ones that fit your Z.

I've swapped a Brembo kit that came from a G35 without issues. The rotors were still in good shape so I just replaced the pads. Go to the vendor classified section for great deals on pads & rotors.
