Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2003-2007 Nissan 350Z, N/A, with Brembo Brake System; Reservoir Not Included. Fits 2008-2009 Nissan 350Z, N/A, Reservoir not included for Brake Master Cylinder. Fits 2004 INFINITI G35, N/A, with Brembo Brake System; Reservoir Not Included.

Use the brake fluid specified by the original equipment manufacturer and always start with fresh fluid from a sealed container.
