finally got my rims/tyres

just waiting on my brake pads and LSD rear diff to arrive..........

oh and the OB-link that we wont mention (I'll think twice before ordering from Nengun again)

[WAGON_BOY]

oh and for those that hadn't seen it here's a pic of the finished bonnet.

Where are you getting your brake pads from, Theo? I ordered mine from GSL Rallysport at around 3pm yesterday, and they arrived this morning! Awesome sauce!

[WAGON_BOY]

http://www.vsport.com.au/ , I got my hawk ceramic's from them last time so I'm getting them to chase some up.

first I had to send them photo's and dimensions just to make sure we got the right one's and then they didn't have the type I wanted in stock as there isn't much demand atm for G37 sport pads I would assume

[GoldZilla]

Fair enough, I guess until you/they can confirm what else uses the same calipers and pads as the G37/V36, it'll be trial and error.

[PN-Mad]

Should have asked GSL for some 370z pads. Bet they'd have a decent range.

[Aegats]

Looking good.

they're still trying to figure out what pads I have LOL

[PN-Mad]

There is an interesting article on the 370z brakes...

Good move getting the uprated pads

A very interesting article, who would've thought aerodynamics would have such an effect on brake airflow/temperature?

[Footo]

Yea just read it really informative!! I experience fade with the brembos but on qfm hpx pads that had a few thousands k's on them anyway, and stock brembo rotors.

I think the saving grace may have been that i had cut out the inner guards for my tranny and oil cooler which would then direct air too the brakes.

Next investment slotted front and track pads. And keep the hpx and stock rotors for road

[WAGON_BOY]

awesome thanks Alex :

Key takeaway: If you intend to track a Z, don’t use the base pads, upgrade the brake fluid, and be sure to install brake-cooling ducts

How do the AXIS fenders work? Is there a metal guard behind them and the plastic fender is just attached to that?

I seem to recall they aren't fun to work with if you want to run wide wheels.

Stock guards underneath; so no real advantage when going for aggressive fitment.

I guess you could always roll very aggressively behind them but the rears are double skinned so it's going to mean cutting metal to get anywhere serious.

[jasevr4]

Yeah, mega hassles. Cheers Dale.

[WAGON_BOY]

fake flair's have ghayeds!!!!

[WAGON_BOY]

finally got my ob-link. don't like the HKS software much, going to try and get Torque running instead

[WAGON_BOY]

I changed my mind after not being able to get the Hawk HPS brake pads from V-Sport in time so I've ordered Remsa Pads from GSL Rallysport and will have them on the door step tomorrow.

also the LSD diff is out getting a service hopefully every things all good and I'll have them both on the car by Saturday at the latest

[PN-Mad]

Nice work!

I've got an alignment, swapped back over to the road wheels, bled the brakes, finished my track tyre treatments, and washed it so it's shiny

Ready to go!

[Daleo]

I've got a set of Whiteline Polyurethane diff mounting bushes here;

Interested?
