I just bought a 2006 G35 6spd coupe. It only has 30K miles on it and the brakes fade pretty bad when they get hot. I'm sure this is a common problem and would like to some feedback from other who have found a fix for this (without spending too much money). The car has 19 inch rims and I beleive that increasing the rotor size would definetatly help as the heat would have more of a surface to dissipate. Does anyone know of any kits that would include larger rotors, stainless brake lines and an adaptor for calipers (that doesn't cost 3K). Is replacing the calipers a must?

 

2pc rotors could help but there aren't a lot of options(if any) for your particular year.

 

my brakes on my 03 suck. I'm in the same boat. Nothing seems to be a cheap fix though.

 

i solved this problem w/used Brembos

 

Are you a hardcore roadracer? The least expensive fix: bleed fluid with Motul or ATE Superblue brake fluid. Next after that would include better pads (there's a wide variety), rotors and stainless lines. The best fix is used brembos, G37/Z34 brakes, or BBK. If I had my pick I'd look into Racingbrake/Wilwood or Stoptech each because replacement pads/rotors are plentiful. It's not cheap however.

 

Thanks for the responses, has anyone tried the Trinet cross drilled & slotted rotors?

 

these would probably be your best bet w/o actually upgrading calipers>>> https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...g-wonders.html

 

I'll 2nd VQDriver's advice. Replacing the brake fluid is your first and cheapest option to try and may do the trick. Frequently fade has more to do with boiling fluid than overcooked pads or insufficient rotors. If higher temp fluid fails to do the trick, then think about higher temp pads, slotted rotors, etc. BTW, SS lines won't really reduce fade, they'll mainly affect pedal feel.
