not 100% on the 07, if it has the gold brembos then follow my diy if its the akebonos like im thinking then i'm 90% that there was some kit out there.. the Akebono '09+ Nissan 370Z and the '08+ G37 have a kit from z1 motorsports to retrofit.

Just had these installed on my 05 g35 sedan. The stock 18" rims definitely did not fit on the front. Needed 10mm spacers. Rears cleared no problem.

bought the calipers/roters used from craigslist, totaled z being parted out.

used goodridge stainless steal brake lines.

haven't bedded them in yet. brakes still feel kinda mushy...

An update on the dust shields for the rear.. The 350z track editions do fit, see attachment. Will post part numbers and such once I'm done with install. Its a PITA to swap them but overall appearence is great.

/\ /\ got any more pics?? Like one mounted on the car?

I'm in the process of doing this swap... But I'm having trouble Figuring out what I'm looking at in your pic.

Did G's not have OEM dust shields? Mine didnt.

Been a long day... I may be losing it

g's do have oem dust shields, but non-brembo equiped have a smaller rear shield as in they have smaller rear rotors. So when I originally did the swap i had to cut the outter band of my stock dust shield to clear the new brembo rotors. These are off a brembo rear and clear the brembo calippers, cleaner factory installed look. that portion is purely cosmetic and could help keep you from cutting yourself on cut ones.

Ah ok thanks.
Will the stock brembo brake lines setup fit in the non-brembos? I have the brembo calipers with the lines attached, would I need anything else?

Thanks

yes you should be fine as far as brake lines go with that, the difference is where they connect at the calliper.

Hi again, can you write a step by step guide on how to replace the rear dust shield, or, can you point me to the right direction? I tried searching but no luck

Thanks again for your help
