FAQ
Is this a bolt on affair or will I have to mod stuff?
If you bought the Spec V Brembo calipers, they bolt right up with no modification.
The only thing you will need to mod is the dust shield.
You can trim it back or remove it completely.
What about rotors?
You will need to by new, bigger, rotors to match the Brembo caliper.
What about brake lines?
You can use your stock brake lines.
But if you've been thinking about upgrading, now is the time to do it.
What size wheels will fit over the Brembo calipers?
There is no simple answer for this question.
Some people have found 16s that clear the calipers.
Some people have 17s that don't clear.
Some wheels that don't fit can be made to fit with spacers.
To help answer this question, the members of this club have provided their wheel specs.
(see member list above)
Where can I buy the Brembo calipers?
There are a few members on this board who can get these for you:
GregV @ G Spec Performance
Grimsta @ Zankoku Performance
JustinP10 @ EverythingG20 aka Infiniti Scottsdale
They can also be found on forums or eBay.
What are my brake pad options?
Nismo R-Tune (Pt# 41060-RNZ36)
OEM Brembo (Pt# 41060-6Z925)
Hawk
What about rears?
The SpecV did not come with Brembo calipers in the rear.
You could use G35 rears but you would lose your e/parking brake.
With enough money and modification, it can be done, but it is not a direct bolt on mod.
Alternatively, you could paint your stock rears to match.
Check out this good little write up done by 00 blk G20t.
This FAQ doesn't answer all my questions!
