Napa should have the Banjo bolts (4) 17mm m10 1.0
Not sure best place for the Motul fluid
VHT Flameproof should be available at the chain stores like O'Reillys/Autozone
And yes, I would get the fluid replaced, and the mechanic should have the caliper grease but never hurts to ask.

Thanks man. I got an email from discountinfinitiparts.com that they were removing the shipping charge, thanks for that again. Hopefully, I can get all this installed within the next 1-2 weeks or so.

Hey Blnewt, is that 4 banjo bolts per wheel, or 4 all together? I got the calipers in last night, honestly I had no idea they were so big, they are insane!!!! Everything else comes in tomorrow. Hopefully next week or the week after I can get these brakes, springs, and spacers installed.

Guys that are doing this remember you'll have to trim the stocks brake dust sheilds to fit this. I have them( Got the Z1 kit) lazy, LOL . But there as a little modding that goes into installing these on a NON-sport car . They look great BTW!

Good point!
Here's a link for tips on doing just that~
Install Akebono Big Brake Kit on 370z or 350z

Quick question, I have the black vht but noticed stoptech has painted a lot more of the rotor than in pics I have seen. Meaning even the beveled ihter edge is back now. Should I repaint all of this including rh black hat ir do u think I am fine with the factory black painting. Looking to paint these today ir tomorrow.

I think I'd go ahead and just run them as is, bed your pads and see how the factory paint holds up. If it does start to rust sooner than expected you can always take a day and remove, clean, paint, and replace the rotors when the time comes.

Well I wanted to make sure the slots were protected so I taped off the rotor and hit it with vet black flat and then the clear coat. Since I was taping off anyway I made the black current
Cleveland for the rust ring even larger than what stoptech did.

Huge things happening this and next month. I'm dropping like 1000 to get my paint fixed, putting oN spacers BBK and springs. Car will be nice in 2-3 weeks.

Went to napa, no luck, went to nissan, he said I had to have a part number. Finally I said screw it, and took it to the mechanic and said I will need a shorter banjo bolt, either take a grinder to the ones with the Stoptech line kit, or just order new ones from where ever you get parts. He said it would be no problem. They just finished refinishing the wheels I screwed up with major curb rash, and will do the entire brakes tomorrow.
