Turn-Key GT-R Brembo BBK Kit For 350Z/370Z
How interested would you guys be in a kit that utilized NEW from the factory GT-R brakes that bolted up to the 350Z/370Z, without any work or modification (it'd be the same as installing any aftermarket BBK)?
Just a thought, and gauging interest. Would be pretty cool to have something that works out of the box instead of going through the year-long process my350z user lsgear080 has gone through just to get fronts on. Quote:

Just curious, but for roughly the same price, what makes this any different than getting an AP Racing BBK?
Any performance differences?

The front/rear weight distribution is different between the two cars. There will be too much rear brake when putting the GT-R system onto a 350Z/370Z. Plus the 370Z is different to the 350Z, so two different versions will need to be done. The rears, if even possible, would be the same.
Also btw.. the GT-R calipers are only available through Nissan dealers at a very high price. They are not available from Brembo due to a Nissan supply contract. Ones you see floating around in the market are probably take-offs. Really don't see this being all that viable, except for the guy who wants to say he has GT-R brakes on his 370Z.. regardless of the actual performance or bias concerns. Nothing against Mike and his having "Alliance" build rotors for it.. you could always run AP Racing rotors with it if you did get this kit.. as they utilize the factory hats, and become a cost effective upgrade/replacement for GT-R owners now, and can even come in the aggressive J-Hook pattern. |

So those rotors fit on the stock hats? What kind of pads / fluids / lines would you recomend with those AP rotors? I am looking to make a break upgrade while I get new rubber

Or the Brembo 6 piston kit for that matter.

I would just go with a Brembo kit that was as close to the stock GT-r spec as possible if I wanted this. Sorry man.
