5thgen Nissan Maxima with 2005 Mustang GT Rotor + 350z Dual Piston Front Brakes

Credit: Steve Garrard

Notes:

Calipers bolt on but not the Maxima/z rotors. All the white ups I found required machining it the rotors 3mm to fit under the brackets. I wanted a solution that I could get off the shelf parts so any repairs could be done quickly. I needed to build a ring to center the rotor on the hub.
Added another caliper bracket bolt washer between the knuckle and bracket to center over the rotor. I’ve got it together and driving.
There’s a very minor rubbing once things get hot. Pretty sure I know where so I’m about to take things apart again.

So, the Maxima was left with me this week so that I could detail it. Started Monday morning, finished late Tuesday. The car was washed, clayed, polished, washed again to get rid of any dust left from polishing, sealed, and then waxed. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the results. There are still some deeper swirls that I couldn’t get out with my current polishing setup, but the paint has much more depth and clarity now. Here are the pics, enjoy!

Well I finally got around to installing my new suspension…used Intrax Springs with new KYB AGX struts. New front mounts and dust boots were also installed. The car rides stiffer compared to stock, however its not as harsh as I expected. I have the AGX set to 2/4. Enough talk, here are the pics…

1995-2008 Maxima 350z/G35 4-Piston Front Brake Calipers Upgrade BBK (Install/Parts Info)

Installation of Infiniti G35 2004 / Nissan 350Z 2003-2009 4-Piston calipers on 1995-2008 Nissan Maxima (also fits Infiniti I35, Altima SE-R). They are 100% direct bolt-on with no custom brackets needed. There is no pad overhang. Overall, solid cost efficient setup.

This setup using the 6thgen 12.6″ which are easy to find and low cost. Additionally, no need for any custom brackets which is awesome. It’s almost like factory OEM.

Fitment:

1995-1999: You will need to drill to expand the mounting holes either on the hub or caliper so they will accept the larger bolts. See this post here: https://www.my4dsc.com/how-to-install-2002-2003-5thgen-brakes-on-4thgen-maxima/
2000-2003: For the 5thgen, you just need the calipers guides, rotors and pads. The existing mounting bolts, stock brake lines and banjo bolt work just fine. If you have SS lines, you will need the banjo bolt.
2004-2008: Similar to 5thgen, except that you don’t need to purchase the rotors since you can use your existing ones.
