These Akebono G37 BBKs are definitely going on my car as soon as I have the $$$ for them.

I hope they fit my GT-S though, as I don't want to use spacers unless necessary. (19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +18)

 

When choosing the caliper color, it was toss up between orange and yellow. Red was out of the question...I wanted something that would POP out since the my car is essentially murdered out w/ smoked headlights, tails, tint etc.
I began seeing orange on a few Gallardos that were done by a local dealership and I loved how it looked so that where the idea came from.

Orange, also is the factory color of our gauges and the stitching on the steering wheel. Once I have my interior done, I plan to mimic the stitching that’s on the steering wheel on the seats and the suede headliner.
At that point the whole theme of black and orange will flow tying in the orange brake calipers.

Trick or Treat!!

 

Yellow would have been perfect with a black coupe. But the orange doesn't look bad.

How much was the powdercoat?

 

Doh...my bad. You are correct - I should have said that the brake bias would be the same only because they're setup to have similar bias. I edited my post for clarity in case it comes up in search.

The master cylinder bore size only changes the amount of torque applied to the brakes. Larger bore means lower torque, requiring more leg force required to achieve the same torque as smaller bore. And yes, the FSM in all cases says that the "valve model" for the brake control valve is "Electronic Brake Force Distribution." When and how much it swings bias is known only to Nissan engineers.

 

nice write up
and bigs ups to for being different with the orange calipers

 

looks sick dude

 

Thanks guys, I'll include better pics of the whole car once it stops storming out here in So Cal. Also why the car is filthy in the pic.

 

they look hott....where did you get the "infiniti" decals? i wanna powercoat mine but dont wanna put a lame ebay-ish logo on them.

 

Wow looks great!!!

 

I had the high-temp decals custom made by a company out here....Sticker city. I then had them clearcoated for additional protection and shine.

 

Nice writeup. I love mine, I'm just waiting for another one of our drives to see how they cope in the twisties

 

OP, nice review and BBK man. Actually, I do like the color...lol
Can you post the rear shot please?

Please let us know whenever you do that since you have the same GT-S setup as mine. I want a set of this BBK as well but I'll be broken until 2011.

Those look bad ***...
Definitely saving up for those.

 

They look great!

 

The orange looks really cool. Nice setup.
