I really wanna do a brake conversion from the g35 or g37 but don't know exactly what I would need to do or even of it'll work. Has anyone else done this to their maxima?
(ps. New here, been in the maxima scene for about a year now. I have myself an 01 AE and wanna make it amazing.)

 

Some people are doing this for the rears... http://www.fastbrakes.com/product_p/...ma-rear-12.htm
Here is one thread about it... https://maxima.org/forums/advanced-s...on-brakes.html

 

this is confusing because u use same pads and calipers...?

 

I have not done this but, for the front G35 dual piston, you use the G35 pads/calipers and 6th gen Max rotors. The rear setup from fastbrakes uses the 4th gen calipers with a custom adapter and rotor. I think there is a way to use the front g37/370z akebono calipers too.

 

I would find a junkyard G35/G37/350Z/370Z with track package front brakes...and get calipers and torque members/adapters and test fit them to your Maxima...also test fit with wheels cause they could interfere with your wheels.

 

this is very true, i know stock 00-01 se wheels didnt fit 6th gen BBK on the fronts at 12.4 " size rotors and those fast brakes rears are getting very close to that so, be aware if u have stock 00-01 wheels. GLE 2002-2003 fit because they were 17" (still half tight but fit)

 

Early 5th gen SE got 16" 5 spokes. The OP has an AE with 17" but it has been said they have less clearance than the 02-03 17" wheels. I have 02-03 17" wheels with 6th gen brakes. There is little room between the spoke and caliper.

 

i can agree w that ! its very close =)

front 6th gen rotors are 12.4" for reference

 

FWIW 5.5 Gen 11.7" brakes fit 16"s. I did this on my 98 i30 to run 16" MT DRs.
