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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
