They should juuuust fit, but you'll need to use 15mm or 20mm spacers (from memory)

I have a template for this brake kit that you can print, cut out and put inside your current wheel to see if they will fit... but it is on the home PC. Will post it up tonight.

Here is the direct link to the brake template: Liiiiiiiinnnnk

Yep, that's the one. Thanks!

(no need to turn on the PC tonight then :thumbsup: )

Awesome upgrade Chris, have wanted to do this for just over a year now... just need to get the wheels to fit them first lol

Interested to know though, is there is any brake dust or squealing from the pads?

I ordered them and though 'shit, these better fit' :whistling: Lucky it worked out!

No squeeking, or dust (yet). I put some new pads in my standard brakes a few months back and they constantly made noise. Drove me nuts.

So today I drove into the city and am blown away by the power and feel of them. So i am pretty stoked with the upgrade.

do you there there is more pedal travel due to the small master cylinder?

it might require an upgrade

It makes no difference to the master cylinder - I reckon they feel a lot stiffer under foot, I know my brembos felt so much firmer under foot than the stockies, same with Chris'.

Hey Chris,

completely OT, but how do you find the FK452's on the Stagea ?

I had a set on my last RWD and they were fantastic, have been thinking about getting a set for the Stag.

Looking at the I.D. of your wheels Chris, I'm sure they would fit behind the 350GT 18's I bought from you. Maybe measure when you do the 1000km bolt check and I'll measure the 18's?

The only thing I'd have doubts about is the caliper to wheel claerance, the calipers look very wide!

BTW nice pics in the current AMB mag, best job ever?:worship:

Hello, I checked with a supplier of these brakes on the G35driver.com forums. The 18" V35 coupe wheels require a spacer, while the 18" 350Z wheels are a-ok. Unfortunately for me I just bought some 18" coupe wheels, so for my V35 Sedan I might have to look at the Brembo's since my wife drives the car 90% of the time. Anything has got to be better than the single caliper job they used on these things!

Chris is your stagea a 4wd model ? as im looking every where for a brake upgrade kit for my m35 250trs four

trying to fing a 4wd kit

Any 350z or G35 brake kit will fit.

Only difference might be the fluid lines

Any 350z or G35 brake kit will fit.

Only difference might be the fluid lines

i have been reading on the brembo and willwood sites and they all say that the 350 z upgrade kits cannot be used on AWD vehicles only rear whell drive

the 250t rs four stageas are AWD ??

seeing as it has 'FOUR' in the name, im gonna say yes lol

all turbo models in australia are AWD. the newer 3.5L models can come in RWD, however they are still automatic

so im being told from u guys that any 350z brake kit will work ???

yet they are telling me you cant use the brake kits on a AWD car ???

your telling me all turbo stags are AWD which i know

AWD and 4WD are different they use different diffs , just to let u know

Maybe PM, bbenny (he has Z33 Brembo's on his NM35) or spoolin12 (as you can see at the start of this thread, he has the 370z Akebono's on his which are much, much larger than the 350z Brembo's).

I believe that [[Danny]] also put 350z Brembo's on his M35 (ARX)

Remember, the 350z (RWD, man or auto) and the V35 (RWD or AWD, man or auto) have the same brake kit from factory as our M35's (RWD or AWD).

Of course I am referring to the non-Brembo cars, but it is a direct replacement if you want to upgrade.

How does a different diff affect the brakes you put on?

Have you asked them WHY they say you can't do it?

If it is a US supplier, ask them if the brake kit will fit a G35x (AWD Infinity G35)

AWD and 4WD are the same model in an M35. the driveline is the same

the NA models (series 1) have 4 speed autos and different diff ratios to suite the 4 speed.

the ONLY difference in driveline is the models with HICAS have a different rear subframe, ARX and AXIS has a slightly wider wheelbase, probably in the knuckle as the arms appear to be the same length

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
