If they can put a Brembo braking system in a Sentra Spec V why can't they offer that option for us Maxima owners. Would love to have a 4-piston caliper on our cars. What a waste putting those big brakes on a 175HP engine.

I'M ALMOST POSITIVE, you can take the entire brake kit from a 350Z and slap it on our car, they use the same calipers in the non brembo version. SO that means, if you have the brembo version brackets and calipers and rotors im pretty sure it would fit.

If I have a chance I will call them tomorrow to find out why they are not doing anything for the 6th gens.

I had a Bremboed Spec V and those brakes were incredible. I too wish they had those for our cars. I have always suspected that the G35 or 350Z brakes would bolt on, but they seeemed too expensive to try.

I made a thread about that, no one could confirm this for me.... I would love to do this other wize. atleast the front calipers...

The only way to try is when your car is a the stealership getting some work done, ask if you could measure the distances between the bolts and the offset on the Z350 calipers, then confirm that those part have the same clearance on our cars and your laughing. I was looking into the APR big break kit, but frig id much rather have 4 brembos as opposed to only 2 APRS.

A dude at the dealership told me the rears should fit without a hitch.

Which means he prolly has no clue, ooops break is over time to work.

Thanks,

$1800 is a lot of money for brakes, think I would rather put that into a supercharger.

They will put those in because they know someone put a 3.5 in it.

But really. They don't offer this for the Maxima because the Maxima is aimed at an older crowd. Sentra SE-Rs are aimed at the younger buyers. And bigger brakes means it's fast , hence the better sales.

The rotors are smaller in the Spec V w/Brembo option, than those found in the 6th gen (A34) brakes.

But the calipers would be nice if they fit ....

Maybe they're preparing to add the VQ35 as an option in the Sentra. To make the brakes worth it

First thing I learned from my shop teacher was that before u make a car go fast u make pretty F...ing sure it stops evern quicker.

I think he had a point there, the maxima brakes are great for day to day puttin around town but at the end of the day If i spend $4000 on a supercharger to make her go faster, whats adding another $1800 to make ol'nelly slow down faster. Plus you can find many on line retailers that can sell you the entire kit.

APR 4 piston fronts by them selves are $1600, for $1800 you get all 4. That seems like a better deal to me.

You mean to say that the G/Z non-brembo brake calipers are identical to the 6-gen maxima calipers? Historically, all Nissan FWD and RWD did not share the same mounting dimensions.

kamski

Funny how, Murano, 350Z, Maxima and Quest all have the same caliper, maybe the brackets are wayyyy different though??? Bah no way to find out unless I tear off a set from a 350Z and try.

Im sure somebody with enough determination could make an adapter that allows the 350Z brembos to bolt up.

I had looked into getting the 30mm calipers from a 300z. Never concluded what would fit, but there is an adaptor made for that. Just not sure if it would fit our car

Brakes are probably the best way to make a car faster for a road course and if you track your car would be a great upgrade. My dad has brembos on his 350Z and they feel awesome.

vsamoylov

anybody know the size of the brembo rotor of the sntra with the brembo package?

Blerk

12.01" on Sentra
12.8" on 350Z

vsamoylov

what about 300zx tt?

Was at the dealer on Friday and I saw some on the Altima Spec-V. I agree if you can get them on those why not the MAX.

NmexMAX

iTrader: (22)

I think you mean the Altime SE-R ... And the only difference between those brakes and your brakes (A34) is the color of the caliper, and SE-R letters on it.

I think our car has fantastic brakes stock.

I will check into the 350 / maxima brake upgrade today

Blerk

The Maxima has the same front brakes as the 2006 350Z. So the Brembo's will fit without a doubt. And clearance shouldn't be a problem with the 18's on an SE but I doubt they'd fit under 17" SL wheels because the stock brakes are very close even though the Brmbos are only .2" larger the caliper is way beefier.
