v36 - g37 coupe brakes upgrading ?
hi all I've a v36 370gt skyline coupe with non Akebono brake setup, they are okay really but just look a bit rubbish and my wheels are getting a refurb soon..
So what's my options ? G37 Akebono setup best and if so what all do I need to get apart from the usual full caliper kit front and rear with decent pads and Discs (rotors)
I've seen someone post up about Banjo Bolts'??
Any thing else required ? and where's best to find a decent condition full set of calipers at a decent price that will post to Scotland ?
Thanks for any info etc..

You are good to go with calipers, rotors, pads and a pair of banjo bolts for the rear.
The banjo bolts you need when upgrading are the bolts that connect the brake line to the caliper. the bolts on the rear calipers for the Akebonos are shorter than the the base model brakes so you need one for each side when upgrading)...if you are switching to stainless steel brake lines (which a lot of people do, just specify the "Sport" model and the appropriate size bolts will come with the kits from brands like stoptech (not sure about other brands).
If you just need the bolts you can get them from Conceptz here:

Thanks Hashim, will add the Banjo bolts onto my list of bits to buy...
Now just need to find the calipers at a decent price shipped to Scotland and the rest I'll source over here.
