Hi Guys,


I’m in the early stages of Importing a 2007 – 2008 370GT Coup



I honestly cannot find anything regarding my query, nothing substantially evident anyway.



I just want to know does both the late model 2007 & 2009 model S and SP have the same 4-piston front brakes and 2 piston rears?


Or… Does the:


P. sliding 1-piston


S. 2-piston


SP 4- Piston



I don’t usually ask these kind of questions but I have Googled, Wiki’d and downloaded the Workshop Manual…


Thank you in advance,

Having been seriously corrected on this with the sedans, I have also read up on this...

With the coupes, it is much easier, the S and SP have the 370z BBK with 4 piston in the front, 2 piston on the rear and 355mm front discs.

Found out for certain today... V36 sedans.

350gt S and SP single piston front and rear 330mm front discs.

370gt S and SP 2 piston front single piston rear and 320mm front discs.

Plus I am pretty sure that any brakes could be optioned on any model, so it pays to check auction photos.

The other thing is though, there are a few sets of BBK and Brembos floating around fs for cheaper than ever prices - so if you find a car at the price and spec you want, buy it, and put BBK/Brembos on it when it gets here (like I did).

Also, I guess if there sliding calipers there definetly not going to be 4 pistons, right? I think I got my self confused over reading. Because most sites state in 09 the S & SP coupes brakes where "upgraded" to 4 piston front and 2 back. They most certainly look like there 20x quicker to change pads..

You cannot miss the 4 piston set ups... The calipers are huge and standard on the S and SP 370GT. Big silver things...

This is the eBrochure for the V36 coupe and shows that "four-wheel aluminium caliper opposed piston brake" was standard on the S and SP, but not the P and the base 370GT coupe, from October 07.

It's not a vastly different process to change pads timewise. Depending on how worn the discs are of course. Often you need to take the whole caliper off to spread the pistons open to accommodate the new thicker pads, which is actually a more time consuming process than removing the slide brake setups.

both sedans have 2 piston front single rear =P

both sedans have 2 piston front single rear =P

Not according to the G35 sedan 2008 Service manual...

V36 G35 BR.pdf

BR-63 is showing that there are 2 brake options on the sedan.

330mm front discs with single piston sliding caliper

and 320mm front discs with dual piston sliding calipers.

This means if you have the dual piston calipers on your car, then maybe you are running the same 320mm discs as the 370z!! That would be a bit of good news for you. :cheers:

I wonder if these are the same as the Series 2/3 V35 front rotors? they are also twin piston 320mm. Which are the same as the 05+ 350z brakes.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
