Toon Chris Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I've got a Infiniti FX30d which uses the same front brake disks as the 370z - or so i thought. It seems to depend on which site you look on as the Z has varying sizes listed for it, and this makes buying a little confusing. Why? because I want some decent disks and they seem to e listed for the Z more than my Infiniti. I need 355mm Diameter , 49mm Height , 32/30mm Thick which are commonly listed as D7512 in the EBC catalogue. The FX is known for putting a lot of strain on the front disks (Its powerful and yet weights a tad more than a chieftain tank). The EBC disks I bought last time warped about a month after purchase. I've struggled on but am getting peed off with the vibration so want to replace them with plain disks of good quality. Anyone out there got any suggestions for a decent brand with a plain disk that can take the strain but not very silly money? I'll pay over the EBC price of course but lets not get all 'ceramic' on the wallet ! I suppose this is aimed more at the traders, and I have looked at the trader sites, some of which the links don't work, some of which sell EBC or big brake kits only and some of which quote a different size for the 370Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Chris Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Can't find Brembos anywhere. DBA are a good brand but its the DBA42314 I want which are plain, not the slotted, pimpled or otherwise fiddled with ones. Gosh this is hard. But thankfully a trader has stepped in to try an help.

How about StopTech discs? Thanks. StopTech would be good but they aren't plain. I know it sounds fussy but you pay to have those grooves cut out and having plain means I'm better able to afford to buy a premium brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 So any 370z discs would fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well yeah, so long as they are the size in the original post. But its the quality that matters too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 EBC do a set for the 350. Grooved baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Are you sure the EBC discs were fitted correctly , if the faces arent prepared correctly they can warp? Eurocarparts do stock Brembo but dont have anything for the 370z only the GTR (R35) As Adrian said DBA's are the best quality that are widely available but they are pricey, personally I cant help think that EBC should be fine if fitted correctly.

Toon Chris Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) EBC do a set for the 350. Grooved baby! Plain and NOT EBC! I don't want to take that risk again. Edited March 29, 2016 by Toon Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def sure they were fitted correctly. The head Infiniti engineer checked himself. These cars are 2.2 tonnes and known to warp disks. I want to try the best I can afford.

Richf Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Premium discs wll be grooved or drilled or both , you wont find a premium disc for the 370 that isnt. Genuine Nissan will be no better than EBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yeah, so I am finding. DBA do list a plain 4000 series disc but I've been told even they don't have stock of it. I've bitten the bullet and gone for the DBA with a few grooves. A very good price form Clark Motorsport sweetened the pill Fingers crossed that smooth braking awaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
