Nissan 350z Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Nissan 350z is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your 350z disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Nissan 350z, brake fluid pressure forces the caliper pistons outward, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor and generating the friction that stops your vehicle. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper on the 350z interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Nissan 350z

• Nissan 350z pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your 350z feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Nissan 350z axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Nissan 350z, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the 350z caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Nissan 350z wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Nissan 350z

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Nissan 350z

New OEM-specification calipers for the Nissan 350z are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original 350z factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Nissan 350z and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage 350z vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Nissan 350z

Remanufactured calipers for the Nissan 350z are original caliper housings completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new pistons, seals, boots, and hardware. Quality remanufactured units perform identically to new calipers for most Nissan 350z replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan 350z Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Nissan 350z in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Nissan 350z, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one 350z caliper has failed, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same service conditions and is likely at a similar stage of wear.

How long do disc brake calipers last on a Nissan 350z in US?

Nissan 350z calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of 350z caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Nissan 350z well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Nissan 350z damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A 350z caliper that does not fully retract keeps the brake pad in partial contact with the rotor between stops, generating constant friction and heat on your Nissan 350z. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your 350z and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
