Default Brembo Hardware Kit

I've recently bought a set of Brembo brakes for my non-Brembo delivered Z.

Included was all calipers, rotors, pads and lines. Additionally there was a number of bolts, washers etc as well. I've googled and searched a number of the Z related sites I'm on without success to try and find a list of the hardware required to complete the upgrade.

I've counted a odd number of washers and nuts so I'm assuming I'm missing one or two pieces. Anyone have any idea of what can re-used and what is necessary and required for installation?

I have a set of dust shields on order as well. Master cylinder as I read is the same despite same part numbers.

Cheers,

Correct

This is what I have available at the moment of the calipers, lines, rotors and pads. I'll take one of the bolts/nuts/washers (which is what my question is primarily referring to) tonight.

Other photos as promised.

Rear calipers with pads in them and the brake lines...

The hardware bits and pieces... you can see 7 washers (I'd assume i need 8) and 3 nuts (assume I need 4).

I was under the impression these were bolt ip to existing mount
Points.

Try searching for existing brembo install DIY.

There are some nuances so that'll help either way.

The hardware might not be necessary.

he can use same caliper bolts up front and has to get new rear caliper bolts since those have a different thread pitch.. the rears you may also have to trip the dust shield since the rotors are bigger.. other than that - plug and play...

Please post up if I missed something..

Just did this swap myself, and as mentioned previously, the only difference is the bolts for the rear calipers. Even the OEM touring lines will bolt up.

Guys thanks for the responses. I might just order 4 rear caliper bolts in case they're not the ones I have.

Didn't want to start a new thread so I thought I'd post here:
I bought a set of used OEM Brembo calipers, front and rear, and will have a shop install them next month. My car is 2006 Enthusiast (non-brembo). I read through a couple of the DIY OEM Brembo install threads and they said to purchase the caliper bolts for the rear Brembo calipers because the 2006 standard brake rear caliper bolts are not the correct size, so I ordered (4) OEM Brembo bolts and flat washers from Nissan. Then when I received the calipers from the seller I saw that there were already bolts and washers loosely installed at the caliper mounting points.

So just as a sanity check: I shouldn't need the new bolts and washers that I bought, correct?
