You'll need the brembo rotors, brembo brake lines, brembo pads and if these are the same as the oem G brembos, you'll need the rear caliper mounting bolts.

That is assuming the sentra's brake setup is the same as the G. I don't know if it is or not so do your own research.

There are a few things to note with these calipers. First of all, they can be installed on a G35, but you'll need some extra work. BTW, I'm saying all this from personal experience.

The Sentra brembos are 38 and 42 mm pistons, slightly smaller than the OEM g35/350z 38/44. It's not a problem if you go with a larger rotor up front. The sentra brembos also use 12mm bolts instead of 14mm bolts, but you can get spacers that fit around a 12mm inner diameter and have a 14mm outer diameter. The sentra brembos are also a bit narrower. I think they were designed for a 25mm rotor thickness. You can get them to fit a 30mm thick rotor, but you'll need to either split the calipers and space them, or grind away some of the inner portion.

I bought a set off ebay about 10 years ago, that were advertised as "JDM G35/350z brembos." I soon realized that they weren't simple bolt ons. But I still wanted them on the car. I widened them to accept a 30mm rotor, and with the 12mm->14mm spacer for the bolts, they do bolt onto the car. But the largest rotor that they will take is a 314mm rotor. So I used a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 front rotor. This setup along with some good pads, felt great, and felt much better than the stock 1 piston brakes on the 03 auto G35.




Soon, I wanted to run a larger rotor, mainly for looks, since I had never tracked that car. So I designed some custom brackets to move the calipers outward. Custom brackets usually run about $300.



But it allowed me to run 13.6" rotors, and that setup was great, paired with some nismo brake pads (uses the same as the G35/350z ones).



The rotors are 345x30mm, from an Audi S4.

Hopefully this helps. I eventually changed the calipers to 6 piston brembos, and now have the calipers on my mother in law's G35. The custom brackets are going into metal recycling next month.

G35 Coupe
Question

teach me master , i might just save these. What im worried about is the caliper bolting up and the rotors i need. since the rotors fro the sentra were 4 lug. What specific model rotor and size will i need ?

any help would be much appreciated.

"The sentra brembos also use 12mm bolts instead of 14mm bolts, but you can get spacers that fit around a 12mm inner diameter and have a 14mm outer diameter. "

this i didnt understand, are you talking about the bracket bolts ? and do you mean wheel spacers. sorry for not understanding

The diameter of the bolts that hold the sentra calipers to the car is 12 mm. The diameter of the bolts for G35 calipers is 14 mm. So if you used the sentra calipers, you'd have to use 12mm diameter bolts, but then you're going to have 1 mm of empty space around the bolt when it's secured on the stock G35 front hub. The caliper would be moving around with driving/braking -> not good. So I had bought some metal tubing, that had a 12 mm inner diameter, and 14mm outer diameter, and slid that onto the shaft of the bolts. (just to cover half of the shaft).

If you get that part done, you can directly bolt the sentra calipers onto a G35. Then use a 300GT VR4 front rotor (it's 5 hole, same bolt pattern as our cars). But you'll need to remove some material on the inside of the caliper to accept a 30 mm wide rotor. That part is a PITA, especially if you don't have the right tools. In the attached pic, you'd have to remove material circled in red. But fortunately you do not need to mess with the parts circled in blue.



The other option is to use the custom brackets that I made, and you won't need the metal tubing to make the bolt diameter 14 mm (since the bracket is already drilled for 12 mm bolts for the Sentra caliper, but uses 14mm bolts to secure it onto G35s). Then use the 345x30mm rotors that I used. But you'll still need to remove material circled in red on the caliper.
