I think THX723 and G35Lin have them on their sedans. Contact them.

I think Wilwood has a good reputation, you can't really go wrong with any of the major BBK companies.

If you can't get an answer from Wilwood, call The Brake Zone http://www.brakezone.com/ in Van Nuys. Ask for Sherwin. He's the man and can get you your answer.

Any system that fits the non brembo Z will fit the sedan. What is at issue is if the BBK will clear the oem wheels. I would think it would take a 10mm spacer.

I called Willwood last October about brake kit options. At the time, they had no engineered kits for the G35 or 350Z for that matter. The sales person said it was possible that some of their wholesale customers were packaging “kits” together from existing Wilwood components and fabricating caliper brackets. Wilwood themselves had not R & D’d big brake kits for the G35.

IIRC, Wilwood are decent brakes for street use and their components are made in Taiwan. Not necessarily a bad thing but for their price they do offer a decent kit. I wouldn't recommend them for track use though. For track use, I would go with at least Stoptechs or if money wasn't an obstacle, I'd get Endless or Project u.

I know I'm new to the board but not to Z's or road racing.

Wilwoods are made in the US. There products are as good as any other out there, just pick your part and pay. Probably 99% of old Z's (S30) that race with after market brakes (a must for us) use Wilwoods. I run them on both my cars. One is strictly a road race car.

has a kit for 350Z's/G35's They are more known for the early Z stuff though.
