you can buy the brembo hi-temp caliper decals on ebay for like 5 bucks i think

and dont repaint these with the autozone caliper paint....get the paint done at a body shop, cus then they'll paint it with the correct hi-temp paint and also clear it with a hi-temp clear...that way u get it looking OEM new

 

heres the link to the ebay store i bought mine from, they were like $240 or something like that

Are all the line the same as well?

 

Breaking results please!

 

Thanks again!

 

huh? i dont know if this is what you're asking but u have to get the G37s rotors, not the regular g37

 

Oh no i mean the brake lines for the brake fluid. I think this is the thread of the year, keep up the good work

 

Fronts are 6.5kg in the small, 8.5kg in the larger version.

Seems the 158mm C~C measurement on the lug mounted Brembos is pretty universal, a late Alfa Romeo "hot" version was the same and a pair off something Japanese, which I've got no idea about, was too.

 

this is basically the greatest discovery of the 21st century.

 

My used OEM front rotor weighs 14.8 lbs.

 

that i dont know yet but by the looks of it they are the same

 

ok so close to double the weight

 

good job bro!

 

thanks man, maybe you'll end up throwing this into your beast to try and stop that thing!!!

ur coming down for our churazco bbq on november 7th right?!

 

good job man, have you tried to find light weight g37 rotors?

 

Very interesting.

Can't wait to see what the field test data shows for breaking performance.

Keep up the good work!

Finding cross compadable components is just as exciting as new aftermarket accessories.

 

What do you mean by this?? Is there two different type of G37 rotors I should be looking for?? Or is this a typo?

 

there is the G37 and the G37S the "s" model has brembo's, hence the bigger rotor.

 

Thanks! I guess I didn't see the "S"..

 

actually they arent brembos, they are Akebono
so are the 370z brakes...i was surprised that they changed from brembo but ye all the OEM big brake kits from infiniti and nissan are made by Akebono well except the GTR of course lol

 

yup the g37s has the 355mm rotor

 

No. The '79 Toyota 4X4 caliper on the 240z was....

 

How far are you from finishing the install mate have you thought about what could be used for the rear brakes? I guess it would have to be Brembo’s but what about the disks?

 

Hmm, 355mm is a 14" rotor - the measurements you show are 13.2/13.3 or so - which is a 335mm rotor - the stock FD rotor is 11.8" if I remember correctly - and this is about an inch more in dia - so I think you have a 13.2" rotor - the ~330mm size rotors unless I'm missing something?

And oh - the Toyota calipers on the Z's - that was found in the 90's, so 20th century...:

 

Ah yes now i remember why the tube had to be flipped... the staggered pistons LOL. The other problem I just remembered..... look at your hub here:

I'm sure you noticed that you have to bolt them to the FRONT of the hub as you did in this next picture.... but look at the front of the hub mounts. Yup... guess what... only the BACK SIDE has been machined flat.... what you have done is mount the calipers to a NON PARALLEL plane caused by the uneven surface of the front of the hub. Basically, you need to PULL that assembly, take it to a machine shop, and have them machine as little off as they can parallel to the hub surface. This was another reason I gave up and sold off my calipers and rotors.


Also, how are you running a 323mm caliper, with a 355mm rotor? Did you shave some off of the outer disc of the rotor? The curvature of the caliper should not fit with that larger size disc as the arc of the circle is different. If I remember correctly, it was a pretty close fit for me using the 223mm stock evo rotor... how you are doing this with a 255mm I dont know... im either remembering wrong or youre doing something very different. Lastly, if you ARE using a 255mm rotor and the pads are contacting that outer edge, you have EXTREMELY higher leverage than even the aftermarket brembo kit for the FD (332mm rotor).... and will need to dial back the pressure to the front rotors ALOT to compensate, or your rears will be doing nearly nothing.

Not trying to be discouraging, but I've been there before and want to share what I've learned so you don't stumble upon the same problems I already found. -Heath
