Relentless Autosports: GROUP BUY / 2 piece F&R rotors set for the Akebono brake kit

Scott @ RA

If you are going to be tracking your car (besides seat time with a good driving instructor) the best mod you will ever be able to make for your car as for reliability, consistency, and safety would be the brakes.
There is a couple of other complete brake kits out there that would probably work for you on the track as well as these with our two piece rotors would, but I am very confident in saying that there is no better brake kit out there for these cars at the price you can get this whole Akebono calipers and our two piece set up for. For information on these rotors look at the first post, if you have any more questions about them that wasn't covered, feel free to ask.
Another plus to this kit that I haven't mentioned is that because of these calipers being OEM Nissan, the brake pressure proportioning is perfect. It is a very good front to rear bias feel. I can't say that same thing about most any other after market brake caliper for these cars.

With the proper pads and brake fluid, these new RA, light weight/ two piece brake rotors legitimately turn this OEM Akebono brake kit into a true, real competition/ track worthy brake kit.... and at a fraction of the price of any comparable complete brake kit out there available for these cars.

Will the Carbotech xp10 front and xp8 rear pads with Motul RBF600 as the brake fluid be a good choice for use with your really great looking rotors? It was suggested to me at the track today to run a seperate set of rotors with bedded pads for track and swap out to the OEM rotors and pads for DD - your thoughts please.

Scott @ RA

Yes, any brake pad that is out on the market for the 370Zs, G37s, etc that is made for the Akebono (sport) calipers will work with these rotors, naturally.
Since there are many good options available suited for different driving styles and situations, It is best to go with your personal preference and a pad that suits you and your individual driving habits and needs.

In your case, it is the best idea to have a designated street pad for daily driving, and a designated track pad (with a much higher heat range) when at the track. Carbotech's products will be just fine.
The completely changing of the rotors from our RA rotors to the stock ones is not necessary, and might be a little more time consuming than expected as there is more to the process with our rotor kit than just simply changing rotors when changing back to the stock ones. Our RA rotors are also heat treated, stressed relieved and usually much harder than most rotors, so they adapt well to whatever pad you switch to. Unlike softer rotors where pad material gets more deeper in-bedded into the rotor and would require more extensive break-in and sometimes even a slight re-surfacing of the rotors to be optimal when changing to different pads.

As for the Motul RBF600 brake fluid... That along with a few other high quality, high temp brake fluids would be a good choice.

My two girls are in my shop/garage - a 1959 Triumph TR3A and a 1970 Triumph TR6. They are hard to ride at my age. The Z is like a bud.
