Finished, raced, crashed, repaired, raced, raced and crashed some more and eventually sold when I admitted to myself that after not visiting a track in two years, I should cash in on the bike, parts and trailer while I could.

Brake duct #2 DONE! :happydance:

Now I just need to install the ducts and run the hoses. Due to my schedule, it probably won't happen for a few weeks, but it will get done; it's all down hill from here now!

Mike, I'm leaning towards the Z1 kit exactly as you purchased. As several people are mentioned, it's a quality, proven kit. Easy install, no issues?

I used to email phone pictures of crappy parkers to myself so I could run them through Lightroom on the computer before posting them here or I'd e-mail finished photography to myself so I could share it on Instagram via my phone.
Now it's all synched with a simple drag and drop! Yay! :happydance:

Because of time constraints and a lack of proper tools, I had it installed for me. It's super simple though. It took the mechanic about two hours. Just remember to have some extra oil. I went ahead and did a full change, and it took about 6.5 quarts.

I think this is a good move on your part. In the long run, the savings are insignificant.

Ken-San, are you getting techy-geek? It sure sounds like it! :tup:

We just returned from our Lake Tahoe drive. I am an idiot. Duh-- it's summer. Duh, there are a jillion people doing the same thing and there is no parking anywhere...

Oh well -- we were against traffic the whole time and got a nice drive in -- just no photos. 248 break-in miles added...

Well those are some widely varying genres :icon17: If you are in the mood for action, I say Pacific Rim (I haven't seen it but heard good things from friends who have). If in the mood for animated fun, I say Despicable Me 2 over Monsters U. Again, I haven't seen either :tup:

Well, my DIY thoughts were I'll just do it with the nice quality hoses and fittings and try out the Tru-Cool core first. Worst case, I have to also buy a Setrab core, and I'm only out an extra $65 by trying the inexpensive option first. However, LMB's and your comments regarding the known quantity of the kit just make too much sense when I factor in my time constraints for the install. As a DD, I don't have the luxury of taking it apart and letting it sit for days on end while I try to figure out some piece of the install puzzle. I rarely get more than a day or two of downtime - the most I've ever had was the time my front bumper sat on the couch for a week while driving my wife's car around since she was out of town.

I hope I can do it in less than 2 hours, but it doesn't matter either way. IIRC, the Nismo requires a few more installation steps than a base Z due to a Nismo Chassis Dampener. I changed my oil ~1000 miles ago (right after the Nismo Performance Academy), but I will take this opportunity to switch to Mobil 1 0W-40 (from the 5W-30). Also, I am going to start getting the larger oil filter (probably Purolator).
