Hey...... I recently started running into problems trying to order pads for my 05 G35 coupe w/ manual transmission........

last fall I ordered a set of front and back EBC brakes from horsepower freaks..... I realized i still had a nice chunk of meat left so I stored them in the garage... I went to throw them on the other day and I realized the pads they sent me did not fit....... they were too small.... and were for the automatic not the manual package which came with bigger brakes.. ........

I went online and every part site keeps trying to give me the same small pads.... they do not ask for the manual package which came with bigger brakes (not brembo in 05 they went away from brembo because they were too wide and had issues fitting rims on em)

so now my question is.... anyone else having this issue? I have called places... I got soo desperate I went into commercial part stores looking to buy any trash pad to throw on.... and they too want to give me the small pads.... why is it that the systems are not finding the manual package with bigger pads?

 

i haven't run into any issues myself but i ordered mine from Riverside Infiniti with new rotors. peep the site, lemme know how you make out

+1 always use riverside, they have great prices.

 

you guys like those pads better than EBCs??

 

hey, i have them same car and had the same problem. so what i did is i just went to the dealer with my vin number and they gave me the right pads. simple as that.

 

havent used the EBC's yet but car stops just as good as before. i dont track my G so everything is all good with the ones from Riverside or just try what Inter did and give em your VIN

 

Bump to keep this thread alive. I purchased an '05 coupe 6MT last weekend, and will be ordering pads and rotors soon.

 

Just wanted to say I finally got the right brakes in .......... I've been using EBCs for yrs... and they stop better... less dust.... dunno why these auto part places computer doesn't show the option for the bigger brakes on the manual package.... anyway... if your gonna go after market and have the 6speed manual package with the bigger brakes... make sure you force them to call infinity to get the correct part number.......

 

p.s. I ordered the EBC GREENSTUFF....... love em........

 

arent HAWK pads the bees knees? i plan on some HAWKS. i wish i could get nismo's though. i have an 06 AT so nismo is a no go...i think?

 

I had EBC greenstuff on my 350z and they were quite reliable with less brake dust than the previous pads the first owner had on the car.
