Yooo! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Thanks a ton man! Is the process the same for the front in which the BBK mounts directly to the non-sport caliper mounting point?

@Chrizleyva

Correct the front mount up just like the rear and also have to cut the shield.

The fluid/oil on the new rotors is a rust preventative coating. Only remove the coating where the pads will contact the rotor, the rest of the coashoild be left alone. If you have to bang the rotor off with a Malloy/hammer do yourself a favor.....the garage floor and your feet will thank you....... Place one of the lug nuts....(preferably the top most one. Hand tighten about half way. This allows the rotor to get loose from the hub but not fly off the axle. BrakE Rotors are heavy especially front ones due to overall diameter width and the cooling vanes sandwiched in between the two layers of rotor material. Test fit the new rotors first especially if changing to a different size caliper and hardware. With the old caliper out of the way apply the new rotor, caliper bracket, caliper and pads but without disconnecting the brake fluid line. Let’s you know I’d the backing plate needs to be trimmed or replaced.

Those little circle washer for the banjo bolts 1 for each right?

Quick question, did you have to upgrade your brake booster after converting to the akebonos? I’ve heard that the stock brake booster is too weak.

@Chrizleyva

No I never upgraded it. its been perfectly fine no issues since install

Hey man, great video :D ... a quick question, are those calipers weight noticeably heavier than the original ones? Thanks

@Chrizleyva

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! and they are heavier but not to noticeable. You are going from 2 pistons in the front to 4 so there will be a differeance in weight. I did feel a differance in how much better the q would brake with the akebonos. With the amount of power that the 3.0t can make i think they are worth it also looks alot better.

You think these will scratch on the luxe q50 with 19s

question bro, i’ve got a Q50 premium, i wanna do the upgrade but i’ve got stock wheels and i’m unsure if it’s gonna clear the stock wheels i have.

@Chrizleyva

3 жыл бұрын

The 17s won't clear fam you will need 18s and possible a spacer depending on the wheel design. If you go with 370z wheels they should clear

I just had mine done on my Q50S last week. You did not have to cut the rotor guard, just push it a little back n it's all good.. 👍 Thanks for the upload..

So you don't have a sport Q? Or one year the bbk was an option on sport I guess? Never heard of anyone not cutting the shield. That is cool. I can't imagine how you can push it back far enough. Wish I could see it done.

What was your offset man? I’m gonna do it to my Q60 and my aftermarket wheels have an offset of 35mm. I’m worried I don’t have enough clearance.

What did you do? I have Q60 Luxe 2017 and want to use the BBK but idk if I need a spacer or not. My wheels are 255/40 19.

What offset can I use in this set up? Can I use a BBS SR 19”x8.5 35+ offset? Or should I use a 15mm spacer with this setup?

@Chrizleyva

4 жыл бұрын

Its hard to explain this without showing you but clearing the brake caliper has alot to do with the wheels design and also if its a high or low disk wheel. A high disk wheel will most likly clear the bbk. The offset of the wheel while push the face in or out depending if its negative or positive offset. The 370z wheels design has a positive offset and are like 10.5 wide so i dont need spacers but since yours width is smaller 8.5 you may need a spacer

Wow. Lots of info. I have i30 I wonder if I need that special tool to add a BBK part. Wilwood has it but I'm trying to keep it all infinity. Because it looks nice. To me anyways. Ty for the video.

@Chrizleyva

I believe the rotor size is 14" as for wheels some 18s can fit but wont clear the bbk. I would suggest 19s that is what i have now from the 370z they are rays. It depends on the offset of the wheel you go with and the design if it will clear. I bought mine used from a friend.

can you just upgrade the fronts only for now and run them with stock rears? just until can purchase the rears

The rotors in the front can be from and 370z/g37/q50 sport that already has akebonos. If you have base rotors they will not work as they will be to small. The rear has to be specific for a q50 only. You cannot use rear rotors from a 370z or g37.

Ok because I have a m37x and just switched to the big brake calipers so when my mechanic tried to fit the new rotors and calipers on he said it wouldn't fit and I would need to eliminate the e brake. We just cut the dust shield to fit the rotors so we didnt need to change that

Excellent job bro! You got lucky. Looked like you had plenty of clearance. What a pain in the ass sometimes. Some wheels won't clear the base small calipers. Have it all figured out now, but sucked. I should have researched better.

Nice video man! I’m just curious to know what specs do you have in the front? I’m running 20x9 +35 offset. I’m wondering if my akebonos will clear. I’d appreciate it if you knew the answer or could share what you have. Thanks again!

I have 370z rear wheels all around. So these are 19x10 +30 all around. The original front ones are 19x9 +47 offset but swapped the fronts for rears. It depends on the wheel design and if the wheel is high disk meaning the part that sits on the rotor is really high. I recommend testing a wheel out first to make sure it fits.

For the bbk they are 14 inch the front rotor is interchangeable with other models like 370z, g37 with the bbk. You need to make sure that the rear one is specific to a q50 because those are not interchangeable I would check out the conceptzperformance.com website they have them

Yes you will need to go up to an 18 in rim and higher to clear the brakes. Not only that you need to make sure that the wheel hub/inner face also clears the bbk. If they dont clear the inner face yoh will need to use a spacer. My wheels are from a 370z sport which is made to clear the brakes.
