Akebono brake kit

In 2009 Nissan has launched it's new Z model - 370z with this brake kit installed as OEM part. There are several versions why Nissan replaced Brembo Gold calipers some of them are - price and effectiveness. But it's unclear what were the real reasons.

Installation
Unlike Brembo Gold Akebono brake kit is normally designed for another car(370z) and doesn't fit bolt-on to 350z and G35(V35) so for installation it's required to use special adapters to align front calipers properly against the rotors. The could be manufactured by various companies, bellow are just some of them. Please note these adapters are required for front calipers only, so it's needed just two of them.

OEM parts
Since Infiniti/Nissan cars are equipped with Akebono brake kit it's possible to order it directly through Nissan distributor/dealer.

Seal rebuild kit
Normally all of those rubbers should be replaced each time on calliper disassembling.
