V35 Std Brakes Non Brembo

[180 wanabe]

I am thinking that I may have to replace my front discs sometime in the near future as theres a fair difference in height/thickness of the disc from where the pad wares on the disc to the small area on the edge of the disc that the pad dosent touch.

Was wondering if its the same setup as the 350z non brembo for pads and discs? and if anyone knows what the min safe thickness is

Cheers

Should be.

I have Z33 non-brembo pads in my M35 and they fit perfectly.

Considering that the Brembo package is the same between the Z33 and V35 (also a bolt on for my M35), I would imagine that the non-brembo would be the same and fit all three models.

same setup

I sold quite a few rotors and pads for early V35 coupe and they're basically early 350Z rotors and pads...

The late model update is a bit tricky at the rear 308mm, V35 coupe 2005~ has rear park brake of around 170mm but a late 350Z has rear park brake around 190mm - so fitting a rear 350Z late model rotors will render the park brake useless.

No issue for early V35 / 350Z either non-brembo or brembo....

I can definitely say that for a series 2 V35 std brakes are NOT the same as 350z.

A couple of years back i had pretty much one of the first series 2's and went to a place to have them changed thinking they were the same but when i got there, quite different.

The V35 pads are much larger than the 350Z non brembo's. Not sure about disc size.

Are you taking about the S2 V35 or all V35s in general?

[rs73]

I think the pads should be the same, just the rotor size different?

Rotor Sizes:

V35 early 2001-2004

Front 296mm Rear 292mm (same as 350Z early)

V35 track 2003-2004

Front 324mm Rear 322mm (same as 350Z track)

V35 late 2005-2008

Front 320mm Rear 308mm (Front is same as 350Z late 17" EXCEPT rear rotor inner diameter)

Pads:

V35 early 2001-2004

Front DP2775 or DP21636 Rear DP21666

V35 track 2003-2004

Front DP21644 Rear DP21537

V35 late 2005-2008

Front DP2775 or DP21636 Rear DP21666

DP2775 and DP21636 have very similar shape and interchangeable.

Did anyone end up solving this issue ? I have sane problem right now please help.. im sick of rda denying that their database is incorrect. I have v35 2005 6mt coupe series 2 .... I need correct rear rotor... inmer diameter is provlem right now.

I feel your pain.. I have had the same problem with brake suppliers refusing to accept their catalogues are wrong regardless of how much evidence you give them.

Just about all local brake suppliers will tell you that all V35 non brembo brakes are the same.. This is WRONG!

The listings they have are for Series 1 brakes only!

After researching this quite a bit in the past, this is what I came up with -

early non-brembo 350z (pre 05) and Series 1 V35 front and rear brakes are the same (296mm front rotors, 292mm rear rotors, single piston front and single piston rear callipers).

05+ non-brembo 350z and Series2/3 V35 front and rear brakes are the same (320mm front rotors, 308mm rear rotors, twin piston front and single piston rear callipers)

Not too sure about the brembos, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same.

Rear pads are the same across all.

Front Pads are different.

As for the handbrake, I researched this a little and couldn't find anything to suggest the 05+ 350z rear rotors have a 190mm handbrake, all the resources I found said it was a 170mm just like the V35. However, I did find the Brembo rears have a 190mm handbrake.

However, some have claimed the have seen non-brembo 350z rear rotors with a 190mm handbrake, so I am not to sure of this.

As for real life experience, I have a 05+ 350Z rear rotor on my S2 V35 and it fits perfect, same size handbrake.
