Pepper :: 2011 Infiniti FX35 AWD

Overview Discussion
I am going to say this is an FX35 as well. Brakes are to small and I sense a rebadge. "50" too far to the right from the "F" and the "S" is too high as far as my eye can tell. Come clean DJE44?

Oh, and he says he has "All" packages?
 
You can get the smaller brakes on the 2011 models the BBK's no longer came standard. But then I realized he had the "s" badge which means if he had the sport package he would of already had the BBK.

Come on man if you have an FX35 just represent :top:
 
Lots of sleuths in here, eh? Indeed it's badged. :tongue (2):

Now with that out of the bag, the clear giveaway is the small calipers. Definitely need to get on upgrading them. Thoughts?

That's for 2012 models. However 2011 models I don't think you could.
 
Here is Window sticker of my 2011 FX50. BBK was always standard for FX50.

Am I mistaken or where there alternate 20" rims for the euro market? I seem to remember Soonster posting a picture of a more curved spoke version once.
 
I think euro wheel options / versions are different if I'm not mistaken. ^^

I've decided to make my next mod converting my stock calipers over to BBK. Since I've had my 22's on braking has been significantly more delayed with the added diameter and weight. I'm assuming they're all bolt-on?

Big question I guess is clearance on the rims I have. Any help would be appreciated. :top:

You'll have no clearance problems with the rims you have now. I'm pretty sure all you have to do is either cut the rear e-brake backing plates or order fx50 ones which are a little pricey. Everything else should bolt right up.
I've been looking for the akebono bbk for a little while now, just waiting for a really good deal. Here's a few that I've been looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Infiniti-Ak...ies&hash=item4d0185131b&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_1413 ( I think he told me he'd do $750 shipped ) But keep in mind you'll still need to buy the hardware kit for it + rotors and pads.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-INFINITI-G37-COUPE-SPORT-OEM-AKEBONO-BRAKE-CALIPERS-ROTORS-G37S-VQ37-/280888223859?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41663e2873&vxp=mtr#ht_3474wt_1163 has some miles on them but with new rotors and pads you'll be good

http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/pts/2981233292.html I emailed this kid a couple weeks ago but hasn't responded to me yet. Can give it a try and see if he responds to you.
