Hi Guys,

just wondering where one would go to purchase a big brake kit? my 350Z is currently in CNJ Motorsports and advised me that my rotors need to be replaced so I thought I'll take the opportunity to upgrade (I'll need it anyway for better stopping power). I'm currently running the touring version stocko brakes (non-brembo)..

Thanks.

Martz

I don't intend to track (but you never know) but definitely will be doing a lot "spirited" driving.

Rim sizes are 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 volk racing wheels.

Budget would be 5k total for the front and rears.

Its a 370Z front end. The brakes are the old CSC, then B-Spec and now ARK designs. The design has not changed, though rather then painting they are now hard anodising the calipers. They still prove to be good setup with quality rotors, a sort of Harrop copy caliper that uses a Porsche Pad. With Harrop, Stoptech and others using Porsche pads there is a good range of compounds available.

You may just get the front and rears for 5k

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
