lil advice to anyone that will be doing caliper swaps, compress the brake pedal after caliper is off, it will build a vacuum on the brake fluid and whatever remains in the caliper/line is the only thing that will leak, just take the floorjack extension bar, and prop it against the seat, if you doing it alone
I liked and subscribed soldier. Ty very much. 27 yr old daughter said her brakes are “starting to make noise” ty for the guidance . Will tackle with confidence 👊🏼
Something I want to stress to you guys and to learn from my mistakes, DO NOT try to put the new banjo bolts onto the caliper with it on the car. You can and will strip out the threads of the caliper. Attach the banjo bolts very carefully onto the caliper on the bench as he did in this video. Make sure you can finger turn them too
@@itswellmade3616 it happend to me twice. One was minor and I was able to put an extra copper washer in order for it to not leak. The other one was too stripped and would leak no matter what so was basically a paper weight or something to use as a core charge
Aren't the rotors the other way around??? They are supposed to be cooled from the inside to outside and how you did put it at min 9:12 the air gets into the rotor diagonally so it cannot expel the air inside... EDIT: okay my bad the rotors have straight blades not curved ones
Those old stock calipers and brakes look exactly like my 2014 qx60. Your upgrade isn’t listed to fit. I wonder if it’s because behind the stock rear caliper, there isn’t a lot of room because of one of the suspension bars. Where you can’t even get the lower slider pin out. About how much thicker are these calipers from the back side of caliper to the back of rotor. I think there’s
hi i liked your movie very much. I would also like to replace the entire set. can you send me a website where I can buy the full set for the infiniti q60
They just buy the spray paint and then buy the akebono stickers and that’s how they get them like that.. I believe Speed Culture studios did a video where he put a link for that exact paint color and the akebono stickers also
Have you ever done a G35 with Q50 front end conversion? If not, are familiar with this conversion? Any info would help on what you think you’d need for that conversion, I’ve seen your 35 to 37 conversion. I just like the Q50 front front end, looks more like a Silvia or R34 to me.

Yo where you get that 4th brake light for that g37?👀
Cool Video, but do the Swap works with the q50 hybrid too?
Yes
Good job :)
Awesome video!!! I wanted to know what size rims do you need so the BBK can fit I have a 2014 q50 stock non sport at 17 rims
You need at least 18 inch rims.
What router is that?
Dam exhaust sounds nice! What kind of setup? Also do you need new brake brackets withe these new calipers?
What color blue is that? They look nice.
Great vod!!! Question: what was the torque spec (ft ib) for the rear break calipers?
ah, good ol german torque spec, goodntite
Where can I buy rotors and calipers?
How much are they?
Where can I buy the akebono upgrade 🤔
What order did you bleed the brakes? I did mine last night and they are squishy
How did you install the fog lights
Did you use your same impact drill on the rears?
Where you got the rotors from?
Z1 motorsports
What brake fluid did you use??
What kinda taillights are those?
Kinda dumb question but where do I find those custom Akebono calipers, I’ve looked and looked but I just see the regular ones
They just buy the spray paint and then buy the akebono stickers and that’s how they get them like that.. I believe Speed Culture studios did a video where he put a link for that exact paint color and the akebono stickers also
This should be labeled “Not for a Q60 or Q50 brake upgrade “
Why?
what spray paint did you use?

G35 with a q50 front end 🤔
Did you ever do it? That’d be cool
This was way easier than my g 😭
Hey bro did you use the same mounting bolts from the old calipers on the new calipers on the back?
Yes as he showed in the video
Dam that looks like my non mechanic ass can do that job.
New rotor size ?
🔥🔥
we like your video and want to invite you to review the Infiniti Q50 product. Would you be interested in it?
What break fluid did you use ?
Where are you located?
