need info on 05 G35 calipers - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

gigimow · 07-11-2005, 10:09 AM

I've search thru the forums but couldn't find anything on the 05 G35 calipers. Supposedly they were rework from the 04. I just wanted to know if they will fit on the 240sx (without adapter) or if anyone can point me to the spec. BTW, I'd search on G35driver as well with no solid info.

Thanks

I assume you are talking about the G35 Brembo calipers? They do not mount without any adapters and are not "bolt-on" as far as I know. I have seen them on 240SXs before but probably with some kind of adapters.

BTW, the 05 G35 doesn't have Brembos anymore, only the 03 and 04 models.

They removed them? Any reasons for that? In any case, that really sucks!

Thats crap...but I guess the G35 isn't a hardcore sports car anyways.

I believe the old G35 brembos = 350Z brembos = R34 GT-R brembos, which are reworked R33 Brembos w/ different bolt sizes and color (gold instead of...black?)

Anything will fit with time and money. The R33 GT-R's bolt right up as far as I remember.

gigimow · 07-11-2005, 10:39 AM

No, I'm talking about just the regular calipers. Non-Brembo. My buddy is upgrading to a 6 pistons calipers so I have a chace to get the stock set for cheap. I just wanted to know if they will fit on my car.

MakotoS13 · 07-11-2005, 10:53 AM

so basically you wanna know if this BOLT ON PART THAT BOLTS UP THE EXACT SAME AS THE PART WE JUST DISCUSSED will fit your car?

huh, fancy that.

No, it's not what was discussed. All post were pertaining to the Brembo, in which I'm not talking about. I wanted to know about the direct fit for the regular stock NON-BREMBO calipers. And as someone pointed out, Brembo are not offered in the 2005 lineup. If you want me to accept that "Anything will fit with time and money." from OptionZero as an answer then that's fine too, thanks anyways.

adapters required will not bolt on to 240 caliper brackets

Ok, don't mean to bash on you but the G35 Brembos (which bolt-on the G35) we were talking about do not bolt-on to the 240SX which means the normal G35 calipers will also not bolt-on because they use the same mounting points... all this was said, you just had to make the connection.

I doubt the majority of people who buy that car want/need Brembo brakes on their car... which doesn't justify the extra cost and so they stopped selling it with them.

And from what a lot of my friends who have either driven or own G35 coupes, they can't handle worth crap in stock form, underpowered for the weight and feels like a bank vault on wheels = not good sports car. More a cruising/touring luxury car. Wouldn't mind having one as a weekend cruiser though.

A little misinformation here.

The CVP33/V35/Z33 Brembos are the same calipers as used on the BNR34, they will bolt direct up to S13/S14/S15 and Z32 if you drill the spindle holes out to 14mm, the OE size is 12mm. The calipers simply use larger mounting bolts, you'll also need to get those bolts or an equivalent since they're shorter than the OE. I have heard of people using a press in insert into the caliper to avoid drilling the spindle (it's a serious amount of work with normal hand tools) but I like the idea of the correct fasteners.
The BNR33 calipers are nearly identical but they use the smaller 12mm bolts and will go on without any effort.

In the rear, it's a different story, the caliper ears are slightly farther out (about 116mm vs. the OE 110mm) so you can either bolt it one hole and build a leg to secure the other one, or make a thin plate to bring the points further out. Same issue with bolt size, 14mm hole is required.

All G35 brakes bolt to the same spindle, so non-Brembo models are the same, however I do not know if the 05 model was changed in that resepct or not.

Conclusion, get his calipers and see if they'll fit, then we'll know it wasn't changed.

did you mean V35? V35 is the current gen G35/Skyline chassis.

Just wanted to add in that R34 brembos are larger than G35/350Z brembos.

OptionZero · 07-11-2005, 09:13 PM

That contracdicts:

and i've read the same info on FreshAlloy

BNR34 = 350Z brembo

I highly doubt anyone needs those; 3z brakes are overkill for most people already anyways.

Yes, you killed me, typed too fast.

why buy brembos when you can have front Rotora for the price of one brembo caliper and rotor of a BNR34 or G35

Rich_S14 · 07-12-2005, 05:07 AM

subscribed to this one, very useful info.

Z33/R34 Brembos rarely break $1000 overseas, while the Rotora kit is well over twice that, and includes the fronts only. Common sense really.
Plus I like the fact that there is no adapter bracket used when you go OE.
