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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
