350Z and 370Z Performance Brake Pad Set

Performance Brake Pad Set for the Nissan 350Z and 370Z: fast road or track compound pads with the operating temperature range published.

Discs and pads matched to the caliper fitment, which changes by trim on these cars. Performance pads say what temperature they work at, because a track pad that squeals cold on the school run is a common complaint. The 350Z and 370Z are affordable rear drive V6 coupes whose VQ engines are tough, with oil consumption on the early HR and gallery gasket failure on the 370Z to know about.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 1 hour. Japanese manufacturers change parts by build date and by market, and grey imports add a second layer to that. Send the VIN or chassis number with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. For imported cars send the chassis plate, because the UK registration will not tell us enough. We are an independent parts specialist for Japanese cars. We are not Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru or Mitsubishi and are not appointed by any of them; the names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. We stock genuine, OEM and quality aftermarket side by side and every listing says which is which, because the price difference is real and so, sometimes, is the quality difference.

Which version to buy

Performance is a performance specification for fast road and track day use, road legal with emissions equipment intact. Motorsport is the stiffer, lighter track focused specification, which is harsher on the road and we say so.
