Many of us have the luxury of time searching this forum for answers, reading tons of Threads and comments even the non-sense post.... but others don't.

I treat this forum as our house. If anybody knocks and politely ask for help or ask a question. I do respond in the right manner, correctly as appropriate as possible.

To OP this guys have been helpful I guess they are just tired of answering some questions that have been asked a million times such as the Oil Thread.


I rather be called "Stupid" for asking questions than be "Ignorant" for not asking questions. Enjoy the forum.
who makes my 370z?

Do me a favor, if you can not be helpful, then keep your comments to yourself or do not respond to my threads.
FYI, if you're looking to upgrade the base brakes, the ones from the G37 are the same exact part, but have a different color and Infiniti logo. They're cheaper for some reason, so most go that route if they plan to powdercoat or save some cash. Z1 Motorsports sells the entire set at a reasonable price. There is plenty of info in the brakes section and a DIY somewhere on here.

I think it's in raised (cast in) lettering on the back of the caliper, I'm pretty sure. If you don't take the caliper off for service or whatever, you will never see it.

There's actually a used set of 370z calipers on myg37.com for 850 that I've been eyeing

Well I am delighted that many have gotten a laugh regarding my question. I did get the response I need to my question. I continue to learn from those that are willing to share their knowledge and to those I say thank you. To the others I say...

idk, this is like asking who makes our SP and Nismo rims. We should ask the mods to have a mandatory search bar pop up before a thread is started.

Op,

Hope this helps with your future search. Combination of Google then Ctrl+F yield the answers in 15 seconds.

Besides, you've posted the same question in the "Will it fit" thread and Kaizen z34 already answered you there a couple days ago.
