i think with air hitting the DiNoc you're fine just as long as you have at least 8-9mm clearance from the tips. it wasn't able to sustain engine-bay temps (engine cover reaching 180F+ ) but im pretty sure it can sustain temps in the exhaust cut-outs with air circulation. :)

i did my B-Pillars and they look great! :tup: but not sure about the mirrors... there's quite a bit of curvature so it may look too fake when you apply heat and wrap it around while pulling. :confused:

It's easy to hate on the Internet...in person, not so much.

note to self... 370Z JT is a grizzly :icon14: :icon17:

ok guys, im debating whether or not to drop the $1400 for the sport brake package.

do you think its worth it?

the main reasoning for me wantting them is cause i want my calipers painted, and the base calipers are quite ugly

i would spend that money towards coilovers (HKS or KW's) first and paint your base calipers matte black or something dark to hide. :)

then maybe later on spend money on LSD.

then maybe later on spend money on bbk.

I might differ from Ken and others, but I think the sport package brake system is well worth it. It not only is aesthetically pleasing, but it performs very very well. Nothing wrong with going OEM in this case.

Then after that, as mentioned, go with an LSD.

the base brakes aren't too bad... especially for street use but i agree, the sports package is a good deal. :D

but i think econ's car is asking for lowering more than brake calipers...

well i cant afford to do both coilovers AND bbk, so its either springs + bbk, or coilovers + keep base brakes and paint 'em

hummm... that's a tuff call cause im not sure if you can get the higher quality c/o's for just 1400... even so you will still need to buy rear camber kit.

i suppose an alternative approach is get swift springs (which people seem to be happy with) + rear rods and paint the base calipers for now and save up for sport brakes later...(?) :)

yea ill prob go for some swifts or teins, and just paint the base calipers for now....

good call! :tup:


i didnt get a chance to try the recaro kid booster yesterday so after washing my G tonight going to give that a shot in prep for Sat.

my kid goes to private school on sat so i'd like to just drop him off at school and continue on with motoring my Z in the earlier am hrs :p ...instead of coming home and grabbing my Z and get stuck in traffic. :ugh2:

You need a drop Econ. Id get some Swifts, which are backordered for prob a month or so unfortunatly. Then get your bbk. The base calipers are disgusting, I agree. If your not tracking the car it should be great w just the Swifts. PLUS..the majority of Swift owners get their car back to stock alignment settings. You should almost def get away w/o a camber kit. Maybe you could even find somebody selling their Akebonos on here.

^^^ Cool, no camber kit needed on the swifts, huh? (No I'm not getting one)

Like I said MOST get away w/o a kit. Some do need it but it seems pretty rare. A lot of people are getting back to stock on here. Im installin mine next weekend. Ill drive for about 500 miles then align. Im banking on getting back to stock. Ill be upset if I need a kit.

I got pulled over and wrote a ticket for illegal front tint!
