We install Akebono Sport Brakes off a 370Z/ G37 on to Spectre (our 2006 Enthusiast 350Z). We use Z1 Motorsports caliper bracket and brake master cylinder adaptor to achieve a solid brake pedal feel. This upgrade will also work on the Infiniti G35.
The sport brakes for the 370Z and G37 developed by Akebono are a fantastic big brake setup for people on a budget. They are proven to perform well and are very durable. The best part is they are an OEM part to finding parts at your local parts store or dealer is much easier than a typical performance brake application.
This video only shows the installation of the hardware. Bleeding the brakes will be shown in a separate video.
Here is a write up on the install by twin001 on www.my350z.com: my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-s...

@@AnthonyJ350 i put the akebono on my g37 and my emergency brake , It got out of adjustment, only then do I need to adjust it, a guy told me that I needed the one that comes with the akebono

@Aeneas137 Год назад

thanks for the video. I just wanted to see how big the akebono calipers are and how they fit onto the rotors. I was looking at the wilwood 6 piston 14 inch brakes and it looks like the rotor surface area is quite small around the outer edge and the hat is quite huge so it seems almost bogus to call it a big brake kit when the caliper Pistons are quite small. so I am going to go with the akebono. instead of the wilwood. although I am getting the lightweight Z1 two-piece rotors.

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

@LilSaint001100 5 лет назад

Ohhhh. Ive been thinking about this kit. Concept Z has them aswell. Was thinking if OEM ones or these. BUt OEM Brembo would look stock. Also time for new wheels lol

@AnthonyJ350 5 лет назад

As long as concept Z it's a one piece bracket. Depending how you finish the calipers will determine if it looks stock. These are Nissan parts we put on.

@ScylockeX 5 лет назад

LilSaint001100 I really liked the Z1 kit fwiw. With the OEM Rays it has so much of a “fuller” look. Side note that the exact same infiniti branded calipers are - for a reason I cannot explain - are exactly the same but cheaper.

@ScylockeX 5 лет назад

I installed the Akebono kit on my G35 about a year ago and noticed the brakes are a bit squishy until the pads heat up. To a certain degree I don't mind it, but I'll ask anyway: With the master cylinder adapter install do you find that the feedback is touchy at onset or does it still maintain the factory feel?

@AnthonyJ350 5 лет назад

With the master cylinder brace the feel is immediately more positive

@ScylockeX 5 лет назад

AnthonyJ350 thanks dude, now to adjust the budget for this month...

@AnthonyJ350 5 лет назад

@@ScylockeX Make sure the engine is running when you bleed the brakes as well. The pump needs to be active to bleed it properly. That's coming from Nissan.

@ScylockeX 5 лет назад

AnthonyJ350 interesting note. I definitely did not do that but just gravity bled the whole thing in the order my Haynes manual mentioned. If I find it lacking after the brace it may be worth the effort. Thanks for the note and keep it up with the videos; you are very thorough and easy to understand. These types of videos are a boon for those of us who want to do our own work but have an informed guide along the way.

@mpzcam5762 4 года назад

I just installed a big brake system on my 370z and my brother was wanting my slotted rotors and base 2 piston calipers to install on his 05 350z. Would he need the front adapters to install the 370z base 2 piston calipers ot would it be a direct bolt on?

@AnthonyJ350 4 года назад

I'm assuming you will still need the bracket from Z1 because the mounting position is different on the front of the 370Z vs the 350Z. I haven't tried your particular swap though. If you could comment when you guys have completed the job that would be awesome so I can learn something new.

@mpzcam5762 4 года назад

Thanks for the quick response. I will order the brackets then and will let you know how it turns out. Didn’t see any videos with this setup so was needing some guidance.

@ryanlewis3496 11 месяцев назад

Hey man. Do you have OEM part numbers for the rotors and pads. For don’t and rear. I wanna get a set of Akebonos. But I want to buy aftermarket slotted rotors. So I need to know the OEM sizes for the akebono. Since there are 3 different brake types for the Infiniti’s there are 3 different rotors. 🙄 Also do you know what rotors you had that were to big for the e brake? I wanna make sure I stay away from whatever part number that was lol

@BillClay88 4 года назад

Excellent job man! You see these aftermarket akebono refurbished everywhere for short money, they even says akebono on them. They seem to work as good. Are they OEM? If so, why do ppl buy crappy looking used ones for 800, $1000 bucks or more when we can get a raw one at Autozone for less than 100 bucks and paint them ourselves. Powdercoat obviously if you want to pay, but paint looks just as nice. A friend vinyl wrapped it. Never heard of it. Looks awesome but it is peeling a little bit after few months. Supposed to be high temp film. Idk.
