Full Stillen Bolt-On Setup - Videos!

You could also fabricate a brake cooling kit

Just get some flexible HVAC tubes to channel air to the inner wheel. It can greatly reduce heat soak.

I do not own a Z yet but on my current car I have this setup because I drive down a super steep moutain for about 15-20 miles every week-end and my rotors seem to handle much better. You can even have the air be channeled onto the rotor but that will affect many things.

Surprised no one has mentioned this!

I have a question actually. is there a short tube stillen setup? i see the pipes come in two pieces. Like dual SRI's?

Another thing you can try is get a beatrush under panel. It reduces engine temp and increases downforce by pulling the air out of the engine bay depending on your speed. this could also take some of the heat from your brakes and suck it out before you hit the brakes. the only problem with getting the underpanel is that if you have a brake cooling system it might suck out some of the air being fed to the rotors, inner wheel.

just some thoughts,

Actually RCZ has mentioned that already, multiple times. I suspect he'll be the first to have a custom-fabbed-up set of front brake ducts from the grill fangs to the rotors.

Sweet!

Sorry if I missed him mentioning it. What do you think of a beatrush underpanel for our cars though? Would be great for SRI's (more practical for a DD) since it sucks out heat soak from the engine bay.

This setup is for a 350z z33, so I am guessing they will do it for the 370z soon considering they have one for the GTR already O_o

There is also another thing you can do to suck the air out of the general wheel well area. You can make holes near the rear side of the wheel well, so the underbody can suck the air out. This will create enough pressure deviation (in theory) to suck air from outside the wheels into the wheel well and out of the wheel well. If you get a beatrush underpanel it could effectively suck more air out and if you plan to go turbo you will still have room for an intercooler since the traditional ram air system will be obsolete.

I think it will be useful at the track but it's not going to be enough to overcome the current rotor deficiency in itself, the rotors need to be upgraded to something that doesn't melt at 500 degrees. It also wont be much use for auto-x because you're sitting still after each hot run. I'm going to try and borrow a pyrometer and record what temps things start to fall apart at.
