Aust350z Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I've recently bought a set of Brembo brakes for my non-Brembo delivered Z. Included was all calipers, rotors, pads and lines. Additionally there was a number of bolts, washers etc as well. I've googled and searched a number of the Z related sites I'm on without success to try and find a list of the hardware required to complete the upgrade. I've counted a odd number of washers and nuts so I'm assuming I'm missing one or two pieces. Anyone have any idea of what can re-used and what is necessary and required for installation? Cheers Quote
ZMANALEX Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Hi Mate, Sounds like you are only missing the pad retaining kit and shims. You can reuse the front JDM caliper retaining bolts, however you will have to fit Brembo caliper retaining bolts to the rear and drill out the caliper carrier. All in stock if you can't source them locally Alex. Quote
Aust350z Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Alex, Thanks for the reply but I'm completely lost in your reply Pics say 1000 words so this is what I have... Rear calipers with pads in them and the brake lines... http://img687.imageshack.us/i/img1191x.jpg/ The hardware bits and pieces... you can see 7 washers (I'd assume i need 8) and 3 nuts (assume I need 4). http://img695.imageshack.us/i/img1194nu.jpg/ Do I have the pad retaining kit, shims and Brembo caliper retaining bolts? Any way of not needing to drill out the caliper carrier? Any missing for plug n' play install? PS: Haven't included pics of the rotors and front calipers (which have pads in them). Also want to do it right so will need the dust shields as well. Quote

Aust350z Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 a how to fit Brembo Brakes to Fairlady guide here viewtopic.php?f=35&t=39748&hilit=brembo Argh I searched and didn't see this. Thanks. Read this http://my350z.com/forum/8916883-post84.html which gives an example of the required rear bolts. Anyway to tell if the ones in my pic above ^^ are correct or not? Seems like I can just re-use everything else on the car which is great to know. Quote
