Series I & Ii Brake Differences

[willio]

Hey all,

I'm in a bit of a pickle and after tireless searching I still can't find the answer (maybe my searching skills suck). The missus has a 2005 V35 and the front right caliper is weeping a bit (it has a legit 25,000km so how that happened beats me).

1. Are non-Brembo calipers in all V35s the same? I've been told the Series II calipers are larger.

2. Where can I buy a caliper seal/rebuilt kit from for a 2005 V35?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Will

I can only tell you that series 1 & series 2 rotors sizes are different, but I can't tell if calipers is the same or not.

Non brembo V35 series 1

front rotors = 296mm od (same as 350Z touring)

rear rotors = 292mm od (same as 350Z touring)

Non brembo V35 series 2

front rotors = 320mm od (same as 350Z 17" update model)

rear rotors = 308mm od (was told 350Z 17" update model rotors won't fit because ADM 350Z used 190mm handbrake shoe while V35 S2 uses 170mm handbrake shoe?)

Ah, thanks - seems confusing!

Anyone know about the caliper size?

Pretty sure the s2 V35 has a different Front caliper to the s1 V35 Non-Brembo and the 350z Touring.

Coz a while ago my mech ordered some pads for my 05 Coupe that were apparently for the 350z Touring/s1 V35 Non-Brembo, but had to send the front pads back because they didn't fit (I think he said the pads were quite a bit too small).

I have attached a chapter on the Braking system from the S2 G/V35 Workshop manual I found on G35Driver.com that might help you, if you haven't found it in your searching already.

If you get stuck for the rebuilt kit you could always try emailing Riverside Infiniti to ask whether they have a rebuild kit suitable for your car. They've helped me with a few qns about the unusual brakes on the s2 V35's.

Thank you sir. I think they are different as well. And if USDM G35s received the larger/different calipers, I assume the S2 V35s did as well.

I'll contact Riverside Infinit. Thanks man.
