INFINITI/NISSAN Akebono Big Brake Kit Upgrade
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Decided to update my factory brake system to the Akebono style calipers. Yes, these are re-manufactured calipers which essentially are better than buying anything used and not breaking the bank (they all do the exact same thing). All in all with rotors, pads, fluids and SS lines. I managed to come in below $900 for the full swap. You can grab SS lines from Z1 or CZP, both work great. I can't tell a difference the way these stop vs my 2017 Q60. The SS lines help with an overall better pedal feel as well.

Bear with me as im 4-5 uplaods behind. Enjoy the DIY, thanks for the support!
Your gonna love em! I have the same kit on my 08 M45 Sport! Love seeing guys making mod videos for older Infinitis!👍
This upgrade is a MUST.
Nice upgrade. I did mine on my m35 for under 400 minus the stainless steel brake lines
wow 😮 super clean set up
I have had a couple friends use heat wrap on the part that vibrates against metal and works wonders! Thanks for the upload brother great vid as always

U still got the calipers?
Thanks for the brake fluid tip
I’ve done about 5 brake caliper upgrades alone with a 1/4” clear line connected to bleeder and other side to a bottle that’s clear have about a 2ft slack so when you press the brake pedal you can see if there’s bubbles or not inside the clear 1/4” line You don’t have to worry about closing the bleeder because it will automatically suck brake fluid back in from the actual line that’s what the slack is for
Dang, nice find! I got mine naked and wish I had them powder coated, good video.
That was a pretty good price!
I have these on my 370Z sport and I love them. There are stainless steel braided brake lines on it, which are a good upgrade. When I need to do the brakes I'm going to replace the rotors with 2-piece Akebono aluminum hat rotors.
Good DIY bro

I got Akebono calipers and rotors from a q50. I bought the banjo bolts. I don’t need anything else to install on my 08 g35? I know I have to cut dust shield but I don’t need no adapters or anything ?
hey just want to ask, if I need the z1 akebono front brake bracket kit? i have a nissan 09+ 370z big brake calipers trying to fit them to me 07 infiniti g35x. not sure if i need those brackets or its a direct fit without the brackets? and what year brake pads would i need? the pads sizes are all the same throughout the big brake kits right? 355mm front and 350mm rear? thanks!
Hey boss i could really use your help ! Does this kit fit on a 2016 Infiniti Q50 premium ???
Which brake pads/rotors did you go with? Looks like this swap is closer to 12-1300$ to do now from what I’m seeing. I’d love to do this to my wife’s 3.0T Thanks✌🏼
what rotors i need to buy? i have 370z base brakes
What are the specs of your wheels. Just wanna know if the brakes will fit my 17 inch oem wheels.
Can I use my same rotor that’s on my g35x or do I need to buy one form a g35s
Great video as always! 2 questions.. (1) Did the stoptech’s come with the banjo bolts? I just ordered the non-powdercoated set from amazon and (2) Is there any benefit with the SS lines?

Double check it will clear your wheels
U can’t use the stock hoses?
They only have it in red?
what’s the link to the rotor
I already have stainless steel lines so I wouldn't need to upgrade, but after installing the new rotors and calipers would I still need to bleed the system before driving? I have a mechanic that could bleed them for me since he has the tools but I want to know if I would be okay driving after installing the brake line into the caliper.

Yes don’t drive the car until you get it bled
can you fit the calibers on a QX60 suv ? How about the stock wheel clearance ? I will need to bend the back plate top edge to make the new rotors fit... but the most important the wheel clearance. Looking forward for your feedback.

The 350z actually would use a set of Brembos that came on certain models. The calipers are slightly different
Hey , question about the q60... i want to upgrade and get a bbk on my 2017 but im just wondering if anyone knows if a 245/35/19 And a 285/30/19 te37 ultra would clear those brakes
