GKtech Hydraulic E-Brake Setup for Nissan 350Z G35
$333.00
Nobody likes wasting time setting up a hydraulic e-brake kit!
If you want to avoid wasting time shopping around for all the individual parts, getting custom brake lines made up or running generic parts that may or may not work then we suggest having a look at our complete hydraulic e-brake kit.
The GKTECH 350z dual caliper brackets feature CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum and allow the use of either Brembo or non-Brembo calipers. Including Akebono.
The brackets only space the hub out 8mm and do not require any modifications to fit and also allow the use of the drum e-brake.
We also include extended handbrake studs, which are a unique product in themselves to us and ensures you have enough thread overlap on the nuts securing them down, due to being spaced out from the plate.
There is also the hydraulic e-brake lines that go from the master cylinder to the rear calipers, everything you need for this kit to work is there, other than the calipers.
A few of the optional extras are axle spacers to counteract the spacing of the dual caliper bracket (8mm), this meaning the axles are essentially being stretched that 8mm to compensate for the thickness of the plate. This can now be taken up with the use of an axle spacer (available in 5mm, 10mm or 15mm. 10mm is recommended).
Note that our inside trim e-brake support base additional brace will not fit G35's. The base can be used on G35's but the optional support brace will not fit.
Lastly, we all know you want something fancy to pull on, so we have included our CNC machined aluminum handle which is now available in silver, black, neo chrome, blue, pink, purple, gold, orange or red.
Vehicle Compatibility:
- Nissan Z33 350z
- Infiniti G35
NOTE: We can only confirm fitment on our axle spacers with OEM Z33/G35 wheel bearings. Will not fit Z34/G37 and may not fit with aftermarket wheel bearings.
NOTE #1: We can only confirm fitment on our axle spacers with OEM Z33/V35 wheel bearings. Will not fit Z34/V36 and may not fit with aftermarket wheel bearings.
NOTE #2: Console version will require some trimming under the center console and require you to cut a hole for the lever.
NOTE #3: Inside and outside mounts refer to the position of the handbrake lever when using our mounting plates.
Inside mount = mounts inside/within the center console itself, this will require trimming beneath the AC unit when used on both the left and right-hand side.
Outside mount = mounts outside the center console itself, no modifications required to the trim when used on both the left and right-hand side.
Please refer to product images upon ordering.
NOTE #4 Outside mount when used on the drivers side may have contact with the OEM seat when the seating position is close to the steering wheel, the OEM seat can still be used but can cause damage with prolonged use.
FAQ'S
What calipers do I have to use?Whichever calipers you have now, you need another set of the same calipers. Calipers can not be mixed between models. Ie. you can't run 1 Brembo caliper and 1 OEM Nissan caliper
Will this kit work with aftermarket knuckles?These brackets are designed to be used with the OEM knuckles. They can NOT be used with aftermarket knuckles.
Will these work with any Wilwood calipers?No sorry, the bracket has only been designed to be used with the OEM fitment calipers.How do I know what size axle spacer to choose?This kit comes with a bracket that is needed to mount the dual caliper bracket, this bracket goes between the hub and the knuckle.By installing this bracket you are spacing the hub out 8mm, this is taken up by the driveshaft.This causing the bearings inside the driveshaft to run on the edge of the cup, which can lead to premature failures.We suggest adding axle spacers to put the stretched amount back into the driveshaft to ensure it runs further inside the cup and in turn is stronger and more reliable.We recommend checking which size you need by jacking your car up and dropping it down on ramps, this will load the suspension to its normal operating height. From there, disconnect the diff to driveshaft bolts and with the driveshaft in a relaxed position measure the gap.Keep in mind the distance of the plate that is supplied with this kit and factor that into the final number, that will tell you what size axle spacer you need.How do I know which size master cylinder to choose?The 5/8" master cylinder is proven on the Z chassis running non Brembo calipers, the lever feel with this master is balanced, having a longer throw to gauge feel while still efficiently locking the rear brakes. The 3/4" master cylinder is larger so when used in that same setup the lever feel will be more direct, firmer, and require less throw to lock the rear brakes. If you are running larger brakes such as the factory Brembos and or a larger wheel/tire setup and do require a bit more bite, we would suggest the 3/4" master cylinder.
