Given the age of the calipers and the abuse they had received, I decided to try out a new set of calipers. I noticed that Z1 Motorsports in the US offered a package that included 370Z factory Akebono calipers, adapter brackets to fit the 350Z, braided brake lines and a set of rotors to suit. Firstly, I downloaded the caliper template to make sure my wheels would still fit.
With everything confirmed to fit, I took the plunge and ordered a set of the brakes.
I love opening presents...
This is the adapter bracket fitted.
And the caliper is fitted with the Z1 Motorsports slotted rotor. 370Z rotors are 355 mm in diameter, compared to the 350Z's 325 mm. These should offer a little bit more heat capacity.
Here they are fitted with the wheel back on.
