No, im not a newb so dont reply with something stupid like "use the search button". I couldnt find anything pertaining to my question but i know it has been a topic of discussion before. I know that either the 350Z or G35 non-brembo rear calipers do fit the 6th gen correct? Any extra brackets needed? Stock 6th gen rear rotors?? Anyone with knowledge chime in please.

IDK but would sure like to find out as well! I'm guesssing the brembos need a bit of modding to fit though otherwise that swap would be all over you know. Orgers chime in......

either the G or Z will fit for the rears, You need the bracket , calipers from the Z/G and it will bolt up,

Now you can run vented disc , The Brembos will also work

( I have a pair of non brembo calipers ) You will need the bracket if you want to run thicker vented disc

You can run the calipers on your bracket but it will not clear for the vented rotors.

Message me if you guys wanna buy the calipers alone.

You lost me a little with this post...so the G or Z rears will fit but i need a bracket. Does that bracket come stock on the G or Z or where can i find that bracket?
Also, if i get these calipers and bracket it will only work with my stock 6th gen rotors right, it wont work with vented rotors.
Lastly, what is the benefit to using the G or Z rears?? i know they are still a single piston, but the piston is slightly bigger than ours if im not mistaken?
Oh and about the brembos...the G bremobo rears will work on our cars also?? Bracket needed? And with what rotors.
Sorry for all the questions but i wanna ge tthis straight in my head once and for all.

Both the 350z/G35 rears are the same , its a bigger piston setup , the calipers have brackets on them , you will need them to bolt them up to your rear.

The benifits is that the 350z Rear Rotors are VENTED and thicker.
So you would buy 350z Rear Non Brembo Rotors and Use the Calipers.

The Brembos also will fit with the mounting brackets and longer bolts that is usually included if you buy them.

Also you will need to TRIM the brake shield. There is a tool that cuts it perfectly , its a air tool called a Nipple ( its cuts sheet metal and can cut the shield perfectly )

Although the search function would have worked well, here is my thread on topic that should answer all relevant questions:
