Mike k-g Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Today i was looking at changing my front pads only on my Nismo M2...the pads that came out was Nissan own make which was stamped on the pads..However when fitting the new pads which was Brembos from ebay i was having trouble getting the new pads in had to tap them in with a hammer...after tapping them in the 1 pad seems to be sticking out more than the other.. not happy with this iv'e put the old ones back in ...my calliper on the car is a Nissan calliper not sure it all 370 are the same up front..Should i buy Geniume Nissan brake pads? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I’ve had to grind excess material from the non-friction material parts of pads before to get them to fit. It’s just manufacturing tolerances, nothing to worry about unless something really really doesn’t fit, or you feel that what you do to make it fit will cause a safety issue. Happens with genuine parts as well as pattern ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 What Dan has said, just top and tail the pads and your issue should be solved providing you have bought the correct pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 May well be the same pads used between many vehicles, don’t be so quick to return them. Got a pic you can put up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Mike, get some decent pads instead if you're returning those, HAWK or StopTech, see here: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/pads/1096-370z-hawk-performance-ceramic-brake-pads-sport-akebono-calipers-front-hb601z626.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/pads/1097-370z-hawk-performance-ceramic-brake-pads-sport-akebono-calipers-rear-hb602z545.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/pads/1124-370z-stoptech-sport-brake-pads-for-akebono-brakes-front-30913460.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/pads/1123-370z-stoptech-sport-brake-pads-for-akebono-brakes-rear-30913470.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
