Nissan 370Z Brake Caliper Replacement Parts

The Nissan 370Z ran from 2009 through to around 2021 as a single generation with no major structural break, so calipers from a 2009 car and a 2012 car are generally considered the same specification. That said, there were running changes during production, and whether a specific used caliper crosses any mid-life update is worth confirming with the breaker against your exact registration. Never assume fitment without that check.

Trim level alone does not drive brake caliper fitment on the 370Z — the GT, GT Edition and similar UK-market trims share the same basic running gear layout. What matters more is whether the car has the standard 3.7-litre V6 or any factory performance pack that may have brought uprated brakes, so confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than relying on trim name alone. Colour of the caliper may differ cosmetically, but that does not affect whether the part will physically fit and function.

The 370Z Nismo was a distinct performance variant that is widely understood to have carried uprated brakes compared with the standard car, so the calipers are unlikely to be a straight swap. The exact specification difference is something to confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as mixing Nismo and standard brake components can affect balance and may require matching carriers and discs. Do not assume either way without checking.

Yes — brake calipers are handed, meaning the nearside (left) and offside (right) are not interchangeable. Always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker, and double-check the part they quote matches your side before buying. Getting this wrong is one of the most common mistakes when ordering used brake components.

The 370Z received a facelift around 2013 with cosmetic updates, but the underlying suspension and brake architecture was not significantly redesigned at that point. Caliper fitment across that boundary is plausible, but because mid-generation brake specification changes can occur without being tied to a visible facelift, you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration before purchasing. Treat the 2013 date as a useful reference point rather than a guaranteed fitment boundary.

Front and rear brake calipers on the 370Z are completely different components — the front units are substantially larger to handle the greater braking load, and they are not interchangeable with the rears. Always tell the breaker whether you need a front or rear caliper, as well as the side, to make sure you receive the correct part. Ordering the wrong axle is just as easy a mistake as ordering the wrong side.
