HELP! No idea what brakes are on my car (not brembo or standard)
Hi Everyone,
I bought a 350z about a week ago and am changing the brake pads, fluid and rotors since they are very old. The brakes are not stamped brembo, so I bought the standard brakes and pads. But when I went to change the brakes, the sizes were off. Here is what I found:
Front Rotors: Larger than standard 350z rotors
Front Pads: Larger than standard 350z pads
Rear Rotors: Larger than standard 350z rotors
Rear Pads: Same size as standard 350z pads
Below are pics of my front and rear calipers. I tried to google the #s stamped on them but am not finding anything.
I will likely just take the rotors and pads to an autozone or something and see if we can find what matches.
Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated!

what year is the car? if 03-05 the previous owner may have swapped out to the 06-08 calipers
It is an 04.5. The car used to be a show car, and I think they used donor parts from an 06 when they pulled off some of the upgraded components. Will confirm today when I go to autozone and compare rotor sizes, but I think that you are right.
