I'm confused about which brake calipers I have. (2010 nismo)
 
Hello

I hear there's 3 versions.
Normal
Sports
Nismo

Which one do I have?
It doesn't say BREMBO in the caliper. It's a black caliper.

Thank you.

There are only two types. If you can see the back of the pads from outside the caliper you have base brakes. If the calipers say Nissan on the outside and they are powdercoated red or silver they are Akebono"s . Just google an image for 370z akebono caliper. Those are what come on the sport and the Nismo. ( Also on the G37/Q60 sport) I've never seen a black caliper that was'nt custom.

pre 13 sport and Nismo cars came with black calipers (except for the 40th anniversary)

Buys nismo doesn't know what brakes are on it :(

Brembo calipers are used on 350Z NISMO (Z33).

Pretty useless response for a 4 month old thread bump :rolleyes:

FWIW, the sport package and pre-14 Nismo brakes are actually gunmetal (they're not really black or silver). Later Nismo models are painted red. But they are the same calipers.
