I am looking to buy a roadster but finding one with the Brembos is looking to be tough with the color I want and MT, especially in Canada.

Are the Brembos worth the extra search and $$$ (IIRC, they only came in the 06+ GT)? I see there is a g37s swap that you can do and probably cheaper then trying to find a roadster with Brembos.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any asperations of being a track star but I do intend to squeeze in some weekend track time.

 

Brembos are everywhere now. If you find a Z you like but it only has standard brakes you could always swap them out for brembos. I bought a full set off of ebay for $1175 shipped and deals like that aren't uncommon if you're patient enough to keep looking.

 

I was also looking at the Wilwood BBKs too, for like 3K. Probably better then the G37s Brakes, not sure about the OEM Brembos. They should be with them being 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears, both fronts and rears with 2 piece roters.

 

Go with OEM Brembos. That's what I did. I swapped my '06 stock brakes with Brembos from a G35. You'll also have better pad selection than Wilwoods, in addition to being a much more inexpensive option than buying a BBK.

 

As a SCCA/NASA racer who owns a '03 pre-order track model, I'd say the Brembos are your best bang for the buck. With four pot front calipers and two piston rears with large rotors, they offer the right balance of braking efficiency/performance without adding too much unsprung weight.

I've raced Nissans with Wilwoods, Outlaw and Brembo brakes and always wonder why people think MORE is BETTER. With doing an occasional track day or HPDE, it's OVERKILL to have a 6-piston front/4-piston rear setup. The car doesn't need that much brake and you're only adding weight where it sucks HP and torque!
