Any thing I will run into installing the Akebono BBK to my 2005 G35x? I ordered the whole kit from a vendor. I am asking if there are any mods needed to be done aside from the dust shields.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

 

Gotta do some searching. https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...03-07-g-z.html

 

Errr.. oops. My apoligies.

 

No probs. That's a big upgrade, so I'd ask extra questions too before I jumped into it. Post up something after you're done so we can all see it. (I'm envious because I can't put this kit on my car - run stock 17's in the winter).

 

Well I knocked it out yesterday by myself in about 5 hours, slacking and taking my time to read and re-read the article you linked me too. Unfortunately since I was the only one working on it, I was more focused on doing the work and doing it right, rather than documenting it with pictures. I did have help at the ended bleeding my brakes since it is easier with two people.

I would estimate that if I had a lift and multiple airsaw blades for cutting the dustshields, the job could be done in about 3.5 hours. 2 if you had two people working at the same time. It is an incredibably easy job to do.

 

Fine, make me more envious why don't you!

And I wasn't thinking of another DIY from you, nothing that big. Maybe just add your thoughts on your upgrade to that DIY thread so others might benefit.

Now, where's that template I cut out? I'm sure if I measure it just one more time against those stock 17's, it will finally fit.

 

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to post this up...I received my front adapter brackets for the Akebono BBK swap the other day from Fueled Racing (http://www.fueledracing.com) and these things are SWEET !

For anyone doing a repaint on the Akebono's and needs the lettering I just found this place...

Me gusta. These will look good on my red painted OEM sport brakes

Seriously though, that looks good... But we need you to test them to temperature cycles (getting hot and cold).
