Thanks. It really does. I turned so many heads today, it was funny.

I'd also like to add that the car drives alot better though. Seems smoother through the RPM range.

Picked these up today
 

Well I finally got tired of my tiny base model brakes. So I went and picked up some Akebono/ Nissan sport brakes from Z1. I have to tell you they have the best pricing hands down on these products. Plus they offer several options with the kit. I ended up getting slotted rotors, Z1's SS lines, and Hawks HP+ pads. Which are a aggressive street/ track pads. I felt these would be a great option for what I'm going for.

It will probably be a couple weeks before I get to install these. So stay tuned.

nice!! you can never have enough brakes :)

Hey, are you going to come to one of the mountain cruises?

yea planning on the 23rd :driving:

That's what I'm planning also. Hope to meet you again?

Excited to see how the brakes look. I'm thinking about picking up the same set with the slotted rotors.

I might be able to get them on this weekend. My rear pads had to be drop shipped to me. Hopefully they'll be here in time. Next Monday I'm getting Uprev tuned along with my OS Giken LSD. So it's going to be a great next week.

yea man :hello:

:yum: BBK mmmmmmMMMmmmm

New Upgraded Sport Brakes
 

More updates. Upgraded to the sport brakes but with slotted rotors, SS brakes lines, and Hawks HP+ pads for some more serious stop power on and off the the track. Also stay tuned next week for I'm getting my car tuned with Uprev by Forged Performance along with my OS Giken LSD install. Can't wait. On the path for a great track car.

OS Giken LSD
 

Well I got this install yesterday and wow!! This baby is made to go all out. Best mod to date so far. My driven experience has been taken to another level and now I'm ready for some true experiences at track now for I've never owned anything to this level. For more on my reviews check out my thread.

congrats on the diff install.

Boy I have to say again, this is a nice mod to have. Everyone should have this done. The car is just a different animal now. 10 times the fun.

Yeah, I can't wait to have a proper LSD in my car again.

Uprev Tuned By Forged Perfomance
 

Here are my results from recent tune. Pretty happy with the results. The car pulls harder and threw the hole range now. If you don't already know Forged Performance uses a Dyno Dynamics dyno which reads lower than some. Earlier in my journal I posted charts of my results from a dyno jet at 289whp with my current mods (before tuned).

Great updates! I love the brakes!

Hood Shocks
 

Just installed these this past week. Had them on my 350 also. This is a great mod to have IMO. None of that hood prop crap.

SPOHN if you used that threaded hole I told you about you wouldn't need those front silver brackets.
And where are the plastic covers?

I looked where you said, there where holes but they weren't threaded. I guess I could still go back and thread them. I'm doing away with the covers. This car is eventually going to be stripped down. Do you have a pic I could see? The hole I see is also bigger than the little ball and stud I have that came extra with the kit.

Gimme a few minutes and I'll post it here.

Here's another vid of my exhaust on the dyno being wounded out. This is with GTM TP's and Greddy TI-C exhaust with silencers removed.

Here is 2 pic's I was wrong they are not threaded just a hole I put the ball thru it and put a washer and nut from underneath the strut tower.As you can see I drilled the holes for the same bracket you have but didn't use them.

Ok. Yea, that hole is not threaded per say. But The stud I have might thread itself in there. I'll have to see Sunday for it's at my dads house at the moment. I hope this works. Thanks for taking your time to do this. Repped.

Some quick things I did threw Photobucket

3 gets my vote! I like it because the shape of the Z is most clearly defined.

I have alot of my pics in the same form as #3 so, ya 3 =)

It does show the lines alot better.

gorgeous car! awesome work.

I like the 1st one. The 3rd one has too many distracting squiggles.

Looking great!

Thanks. I'm currently trying to stock up on brake rotors and pads for the track. I like keeping the basic in stock. I'll probably let this baby loose in a couple.
