Nissan GTR Brakes

Morfiy · 03-16-2013, 12:07 PM

I have ordered Nissan GTR front Brakes with calipers, hoses...Etc, but now I'am not sure will they fit to my 370. Can anyone help me with this question, namely should I change something to make it fit? As I know, there will be a big difference between GTR's brakes on the front and factory Brakes at the rear wheels.
Thanks

I'm NOT sure trying to adapt GTR brakes will be cost effective. IMO

You will probably need caliper brackets. Other than that, it should fit easily.

You just need caliper brackets, which NO ONE makes, therefore, not making it cost effective... Unless you got the calipers for free... And have a machine shop at your disposal...

Why would you order something that drastic without knowing how or if they are going to go on?

Doesn't Nissan sell those GTR brake hardware for arms and legs?

Brembo sell the 6 piston caliper with bracket. Im sure is the same spec as GTR caliper.

I just realized that you said you already ordered them......

A member had a kit for sale... That so far has changed hands like 3 times...?

Should of just bought a typical aftermarket BBK.

As others have said you can make it work but you need to have brackets made

I don't know why you ordered without checking? You should return everything if you can and keep the Akebonos or go aftermarket

Thanks guys for answers !
I knew that generally it will run because of same car manufacturer, just wanted to get details, and now i know that probably i'll need to install new calipers.
Thanks again, lets see when it comes
