So I enquired about Braided brake lines for the G35x (which should fit ours ours) from Cozperformance.

I asked specifically whether the G35x and regular G35 lines will be different due to ATTESSA being present in the G35.

This is his response:

The Stoptech SS Brake lines eliminate the block mounts on the original

lines, thus we don't have to follow them anymore. This allow us to

install the lines on any G35 model.

Anyone want to translate that for me? What's the block mounts?

So he's basically saying that braided lines for the G35 will fit G35x which has ATTESSA.

Hopefully they'll fit our cars then....hmmm

Hmm called Goodridge and Stoptech, both of them say they only have lines for the regular G35, not the AWD version.

Stoptech says due to their location in the West Coast, there's no G35x's around...most of them are in the North East where the weather sucks. Which means no test car to make lines off.

So what do you guys think? Grab a set of G35 lines and pray to see if they fit?

or buy the rear lines and spend $200 to get front ones custom made here?

Ok so just to re cap...

A good set up using standard calipers is?

I know alot was talked about but nothing concreate.

Nice set of slotted DBA rotors and maybe some Nismo Pad's to suit worked great for me before I went the next step!....Pads are a personal preference I liked the Nismo's because I could not get em to fade on the street and they had a great feel.

+1 upgraded slotted rotors are great, and every man and his dog has a different opinion about pads; all the 'brand name' pads will be an upgrade from stock at the end of the day, depends how far you want to push your budget :thumbsup: I went with EBC, they seem to work well for me

Where did you get the Nismos?

I was looking at getting the QFM HPX pads, only need to do the rears for now but would prefer something with low dust.

HPX are low dust, I have been running them front and rear for the past month on stock rotors/calipers.

They're pretty good and don't need warming up like the A1RM's do... but then again, they don't dust up anywhere near them either.

I think that the Nismo's were pretty much dust free.

You should be able to get some pretty cheap from the US (G35 or Z33 non-brembo)

Bit the bullet and bought a set of Stoptech G35 braided lines...

The seller said he's sold them a few times to G35x owners and never had a complaint...

See how we go....or how Scotty goes :nyaanyaa:

Oi, get me a set too... :)

How much was it?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
