You do realize that site has em for 460 EACH side? as in per corner?

Yes you do get what you pay for, dba's are very good.

Yep, I do, although what I may have misunderstood was the price of the brembos. I forgot the price I looked at for the brembos included the calipers which, based on the rotors alone, is the vast majority of the price.

So, sounds like rotor-wise the DBAs might be more expensive than brembos, huh?

DBA rotors are awesome. Just looked back at the list. Nice list of parts man. Cant wait to see the rims you pic :D

Travis,
You asked about data acquisition experience. I have none with the products you mentioned but have used the Mychron Pista MXL. Nice system but it lacks GPS and requires a beacon.

thanks, yeah, i've heard good things about mychron and lots of guys in phoenix use them... thought the pista was for karting... in any event, I orderd the chasecam + traqmate from sharif and will update on it later

fyi all, just changed my mind (AGAIN!) on wheels... going to go with 18" forgestars c/o our friend mike at ddm ! starting a group buy thread here... unbelievably good deal http://www.the370z.com/tires-wheels/...html#post62624

Hey Travis, I've been looking around and reading through this thread like a car bible. Have you taken any video of your Z since the installation of everything? If so, where can I find it? I really want to hear it. I haven't gotten a Z yet, but I've been looking into all the performance parts and I'm going Stillen FTW. That's why I'm so interested in this thread.

Most of the install is being done next week, and I have a track weekend next weekend, so rreign I'll be in a better position to tell you how it is all adding up and maybe take some video then. When you go buy your new Nissan - tell them you want them to put an oil cooler in ! :)

And he's going to let us know about the Hawk HP+ pads on stock rotors too :):):). Thanks Travis, you give everyone an awesome goal to aim for!

I have already tracked with the Hawk HP+ on the stock rotors and they worked great. :)

Ah, cool DDM (don't know your name :)), and you had the oil cooler, so your track experience wasn't just 5 or 10 minutes, right? I was hoping the rotor scoring problem was due to the pad, and not the rotor (as is usually the case), so it sounds like that's confirmed!

Did you by any chance do any bedding-in with the Hawks?

Yeah I was on the track for 20 minutes at a time. I bed them in the first session at the track. I did a write up somewhere about my experience at the time attack and my thoughts on all of the parts.

I am stoked man. Can't wait to see the overall. I have been reading through everything I can and I think I noticed a big trend with dealers not wanting to put the oil cooler in. You got any tips for getting them to do it? I don't even have the car yet and I already have a full wishlist on Stillen's site. You think if I buy everything at once (CBE,HFCs,Headers,CAI,Pulleys,etc) I can get a deal or some kind of discount?

we don't discuss prices on the board... but generally yes the more you buy the more discount you can get from any vendor... g/l !

Thanks, I appreciate the info. Oh and thanks for the heads up on not letting prices out with other competitors and what not

Really digging this build log.

I'm not trying to be a jerk - I'm just curious - considering a lot of the stuff you're buying and the cars intended purpose on the track, why didn't you just get a base 'vette with a Z51 package?

It seems like then you'd have more horsepower and much less weight at a similar cost to what you're spending. Obviously I like the way the Z looks, along with the interior and some other things - but for a pure track car, it's tough to beat the 'vette for the money...
