05 6MT Stock Brake
#17
I went to a dealer and had a chance to look at the difference in the brakes side by side. The brembos are alot more substantial. The calipers are alot bigger than the 05s. These numbers are from nissannews.com
05
Front: 12.6-inch x 1.1-inch power-assisted vented disc
Rear: 12.1-inch x 0.63-inch power-assisted vented disc
04 Brembo
BremboŽ brakes
Front: 12.76-inch x 1.18-inch power-assisted - 4 pistons
Rear: 13.07-inch x 0.87-inch power-assisted - 2 pistons
I am very annoyed that the 05 do not have the brembos, but at the same time I understand that I do not need them unless I will track the car.
www.stoptech.com has some great articles on brakes if any is interested

Go to www.stoptech.com they have an article on bedding in your brakes. But I believe you should bed in all brakes.

The stock brakes worked fine for about 3 laps, then started to fade big time.

my salesman said that the 05 brakes are almost as good as the Brembos and infiniti did a good job in developing high quality brakes. of course they're not as good as the Bremobs, but they are a lot better than the 03/04 AT brakes. plus they produce a lot less brake dust than the Brembos. when i test drove the 05, the brakes felt very strong and at a good sensitivity level. great stoppping power in my opinion.
