Rear Brake Caliper Bracket

So I went to replace my rear wheel studs (2 snapped and one stripped, smart previous owner overtorqued them). Well, I noticed my brake caliper slide bolts were seized. So I went to fix that and snapped one off inside the caliper bracket. I am looking to get a new rear caliper bracket now and trying to find one online but not having any luck. Except one from an 04 350z. Anyone know where to get one? This is for a 2005 G35x.

you are going to have to find one aftermarket, junkyard, or someone that has one laying around, because it's part of the Caliper, you can't get just the bracket from Nissan/Infiniti

What cars are the same as the 05 G35x as far as rear brakes go then?

This is what I found:

But I have also found rear calipers with the brackets for only slightly more for an 04 350z.

All 03-04 G35's, 05 G35X's all have the same rears. I also just put 04 Nissan 350z rears on my 05x so 350z rears are also the same just not sure what year they swapped the rears on the 350z's for the bigger setup.

Same thing happened to me. I ended having to buy a new caliper to get the bracket. I got a A1 Cardone brand from a local auto store. I believe they also carry them at rockauto.com. Might wanna check Craigslist tho.

I just ordered a caliper and bracket from ebay off of a 350z. I'll probably end up using the old caliper though. There was a squeaking noise that sounded like it was coming from the front of the car, but it might have been from the brake in the back here since the brake pad on the inside was worn down to the indicator. New part doesn't come until Monday or Tuesday though. Oh well, gives me a good opportunity to ride the motorcycle for a few days.
