Akebono rear calipers on sedan

Are there any issues with bolting on used Akebono rear calipers on my 05 sedan? Particular model/year or anything like that I need to get them from? I was going to get Brembos on eBay from a track 350z/G to replace the stock rears, but the prices are outrageous (IMO). The Akebonos I'm seeing are cheaper and look less abused.

I know I need lines, rotors, pads.

I believe you need an adapter as well because akebonos don't just bolt up

Looks like you need a bracket for the front, but I'm just looking at the rears. From what I see, it looks like the rears just bolt up. But some additional confirmation would be nice before I buy. Looking at calipers from an 08 G37 coupe.

Rears are bolt on, but you will need rotors/pads(sorry for restating the obvious!). You may or may not need brake lines-get in touch with Z1 Motorports and they will supply different banjo bolts or bolts and lines as needed.
Some other things to consider-are wheels going to fit and what calipers you are using in the front-having stock in the front will look silly

Thanks for the confirmation with the bolt-on aspect. I've got a 14" BBK for the front and a new set of wheels, so should be good to go.

Definitely need the banjo bolts. Seen some people just stack washers to make it work but just do it right

I ordered a rear StopTech ss line kit for the G37 Sport trim, so I assume it comes with the correct banjo bolts. Maybe I should just double-check with them though. Definitely not stacking copper washers on the brake line.
