Thanks. Just had them make 2 pieces. Didn't think that I or anyone else would need any extras of this exact bracket. I made brackets with them in the past, and it was around the same price, $300 for a pair.

The guy on my350z with the R35 brakes said that he paid $5000 for the calipers and rotors, and around $1500 for the brackets and fabrication (if I remember correctly). He got the rears on finally, but lost parking brake function.

Brakes look great E_K. I love mine and get compliments on them all the time. Are the piston sizes different for the calipers you bought (iirc 370z/g37) compared to the kit brembo offers for the 350/g35? Where did you purchase the titanium plates from? Mine cost 5k for both front and rear, 6/4.

Not sure if they have the same piston size, they'll probably very close if not the same, given that it's for similar cars with 14" rotors.

Got the titanium plates from tispeed.com. I was surprised that they even made titanium plates for this particular caliper. Fast shipping as well, definitely would recommend them. I've been trying to mash on the brakes and heat them up, and the calipers are relatively cool. I haven't even got the temperature stickers to register anything yet.

4DGS, I haven't decided what to do with the old brembos. I think they're brembos from the sentra, with a 38/42 piston size. It's a tad smaller then the G35/350z brembo at 38/44 piston size, but you'll want a smaller piston area if you go with a larger diameter rotor. They will bolt onto the G35, but you can only fit a 12.2" rotor with them. That's why I made my first pair of custom brackets, which pushed them out and allowed me to use the 345mm rotors.

Pm me some picks of the old set up if you're interested in selling them. With the brackets to fit the 13.5" rotor. (or even the just the 12.2)
