Our GT-R Time Attack program (two cars) has consumed a lot of our time over the past 8 weeks. Now that the season is over (finished 3rd in the national points choice), we're back it it with the 370Z. More updates coming soon! :)

So the plan is to keep the OEM BBK?

And can't go wrong with TE37's, great choice.

I don't think so, since they sold them a while back, but that was some rather odd wording Sharif. Will they clear my brembos?

They will clear the OEM sport brake kit (for those that aren't swapping them out). But they will also clear aftermarket BBK's as well.

We are running the StopTech Trophy Series brakes on the car...nothing changed there.

If we run a DOT tire for certain events, it will be a 295 front and 335 rear. Slicks will be 280/330 combo, as they are sized a little differently.

I might have to come do a test fit when they get in.

Our Brakes showed up today from StopTech!

Enjoy this eye candy. It's hard to believe these will be covered in brake dust before too long :D
