[@HustleGarageTV]

Jaron T 😂😂😂 hello again. Haha thanks man! Appreciate your support!

[@pasqualecuda5165]

Thank you buddy i was going to get them done at the mechanics but I'll give them a try and save so dosh$$$😊

[@HustleGarageTV]

Yess! Definitely easy enough to do with basic tools at your house

[@ciscco1185]

Where did you get that Nissan's gray brake cover? Looks good!

[@HustleGarageTV]

The calipers came with the car

[@ryen49]

works on q50 and q60 with the akebono kits too

[@HustleGarageTV]

Yes definitely. Anything with the same akebono brakes

[@erickjablonski]

when pushing back the piston (2:57) what do you mean make sure your brake fluid isn't overflowing haha, is there a way to prevent it from leaking when doing this? Thanks man love the video!

[@HustleGarageTV]

The brake fluid in the reservoir shouldn’t be overflowing/leaking because it’s a closed system and the amount of fluid should be the same. Just double making sure it doesn’t overflow from the reservoir 😂 So don’t top up your brake fluid while changing brake pads, do it afterwards if you bleed the brakes after all the pads are changed. Thank you heaps for watching!

[@WillSmith-po8gk]

Can I ask why you put the old shims over the new ones? I see there's already black shims on the new pads? Sorry just don't understand that one?

[@HustleGarageTV]

I think they would be okay without them, but I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere on dba that it was put on and used again

[@kenlawton1531]

What was the verdict of these lads mate, thinking about getting them? Braking power, pedal feel? Dust??

[@HustleGarageTV]

I really like them hey! Been through like 3 sets now, they’re my go to now. I’ve taken them on track and as a daily and they have performed really well. Brake dust isn’t too bad at all, braking power is good for street pads, bites down great when you want it too, pedal feel would come down to brake fluid as well. But overall I do recommend these pads

[@BigBoyz33]

man the big brake pads are easier to change compared to the stock ones on the 350z lol i think i should do a big brake kit swap hmm

[@HustleGarageTV]

Haha swap to a big brake kit! Best of every world 😂

[@madagrosu1713]

Hello ,i have an infiniti with the same type of callipers,and i ve experienced endless brake shuddering,and vibrations,when breaking. Any tips ,please? Thank you

[@jairotorres1145]

have you changed or resurfaced your rotors?

[@HustleGarageTV]

Yeah I’d check your rotors first, they might be warped.

[@madagrosu1713]

@@jairotorres1145 i bought new never resurfaced,they last 5000 miles,each pair, m on my 3rd set now,i read on some forums,people with the same akebonos have the same problem, i think it has to do with the pin retaining the pad, i will try to change the pins maybe it will work

[@jaront4922]

Sounds like your discs may not be aligned, possibly warped or possibly uneven wear. Tbey may just need replacing. You can also get the chamber checked on your wheels too. It could also be your brake lines.. there could be a bubble in them causing them not to function correctly.

[@BryanReyes-xj6dd]

Got a question this guy is selling me some akebono brakes on 2014 370z caliber can I put them on my 2012 g37 sedan

[@HustleGarageTV]

So you’re going from small brakes to the big akebono brakes?

[@Malar1898]

Thanks man!

[@HustleGarageTV]

No worries! Thanks for watching!

[@shayanessapoor7562]

Great video!

[@HustleGarageTV]

Shayan Essapoor thank you for your support!

[@bishop2334]

Might want to mask up when cleaning all that brake dust, not good to breathe that in!

[@HustleGarageTV]

Yes that is trueee hahaha

[@chiliewhilie84]

Any issues with those brake pads?

[@HustleGarageTV]

Nothing at all. I reckon one of the best daily street/occasional track day pads. Been using these pads for 5 years now, great set of pads

[@lilpeepers]

what do u mean brake fluid overflowing ????

[@HustleGarageTV]

When you push the piston back, sometimes the fluid goes back into the reservoir and it can overflow out

[@lilpeepers]

@@HustleGarageTV oh ok and what if that shit over flows how do I fix it lol

[@lilpeepers]

@@HustleGarageTV oh ok and what if that shit over flows how do I fix it lol

[@HustleGarageTV]

@@lilpeepers wipe it down cause it eats through paint and put more fluid in

[@adamtarbox4307]

You made a couple of faux pas. One, you should always replace the rotor with the pads so they seat properly. Two, you should always use a piston separator with multi piston calipers. Otherwise you can damage them.

[@HustleGarageTV]

Although good to do, not necessary every time. The special tool is also good

[@HustleGarageTV]

Yeah I havent had any issues after many many years of doing it hahaha

[@vally6853]

Fronts are ez and rears are a lil annoying

[@HustleGarageTV]

100% agree!

[@Reply_if_you_r_homosexual]

Do you have to bleed out the brake fluid?

[@HustleGarageTV]

Blue Spider no need to bleed the brakes when changing brake pads. Unless there are signs that you need too. Just be careful your fluid reservoir doesn’t overflow when pushing the pistons back in 👍🏽

[@Reply_if_you_r_homosexual]

Project VQ what?? So I gotta make sure the brake fluid doesn’t overflow in the container? This is crazy I’m new to this 😂 I don’t wanna spend 1k at the dealer to get brakes changed. Do I push the pistons in slowly then?

[@HustleGarageTV]

Blue Spider yeah so if you’re just changing the brake pads, that shouldn’t alter your brake fluid in any way. Yes just keep an eye on it, Push the pistons in and after every corner start the car and pump the brakes to allow the fluid to flow back through. Put a rag around the reservoir just in case.

[@cuban370zlife3]

Nop

[@collapsingquantumwav]

What size are those rotors?

[@HustleGarageTV]

They are 14” (355.6mm) rear and 13.8” (350.5mm) front

[@collapsingquantumwav]

@@HustleGarageTVThank you. i have just figured it out. They're the large ones at the front because they also have the 320mm for the the front. Thank you for your quick reply.

[@HustleGarageTV]

@@collapsingquantumwav no worries!
