M35 Big Brake Upgrade - 14"

[spoolin12]

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 )

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' 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

[bLaQ.bOi]

how awesome, standard brakes are frikkin terrible!

btw why do your headlights look so menacing?

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'.

[zei20l]

im sure they did. they are awesome brakes too lol

did you use the standard lines also or replace with braided?

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?

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!

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 ??

[zei20l]

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

[iamhe77]

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)

[zei20l]

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

[Sidius]

spoolin12 is your stagea the one with the hicas in it

who esle has the hicas stagea that has done mods to it?
