Those are the GT-R brakes right, would they fit a 370Z?

Seems there are quite a few people with secrets on this board, I need to get on the inside track... I don't have the patience to wait until spring, but I will be waiting to see just how much they can change brake rotors.
I don't think it's rotors.. *cough* *cough*..

and i dont have specifics.. but can't imagine it wouldn't be attached to some old-school press releases.. STILLEN : AP Racing Unveils Revolutionary New Brake Caliper Design

It depends what you mean by expensive. Those pictures are showing top-level, professional motorsports calipers. Since losing usually costs a lot more than winning, those end up being darn cheap!

Let's just say that if something new were developed for street/track day cars, the price would naturally have to be in line with what people are generally willing to pay. We don't get too many requests for $30k brakes for a 370Z, so I don't think we will be going there any time soon. But that doesn't mean we can't come up with something in a reasonable price range that could blow your hair back!

I love that first line about winning, I am definitely saving that for future reference! One thing I have always admired is how you offer advice with no BS or product pushing, plus you have a huge amount of know how and it shows.

Those calipers posted are pure sex.

You're killing me...

This car was supposed to be saving me money Can't wait to see this stuff once it comes out. As much as I want it though I have a feeling it's gonna be way to much money to justify, we'll see I guess
