yup, I flew off the track thanks to a brake line going out on me.

bacon can almost kill you if you eat way to much of it. They have so much grease. mhmmm bacon drooooool :yum::yum:

tonkatsu! :yum:

I almost wrecked once -- I was eating a bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich.

ok i'll bite....... let's ham it up............

Please tell me someone here has tried candy bacon.. (brown sugar on bacon, put it in the oven, flip the bacon, put it back in the oven :yum:)

Also, I am very interested in 70-0 distances for base brakes.

Well I can tell you from experience, if you are coming off the Freeway into a 35mph S turn to a stoplight, and you expect the base 350z brakes to stop you from 70 mph, you barely make it...

Now I have the sport 370Z and the brakes are so much better..

I also had a 300ZX with aftermarket brakes and it was way better than the 350Z..

I just think that base brakes are fine unless you plan to push the car to it's limits, and with the power and the handling, these cars have a high limit..

Sport or aftermarket brakes are a must..

I just added bacon to my dominos pizza order!

thats all i meant by this thread, now everyones talking about bacon:yum:

about the same as the sport package, for a couple stops.


The base brakes are more than sufficient to lock em up, even with a significant amount of tire.

Maybe you should be more specific when you post. :icon17:

Braking distance is due to the tires no the brakes. Any brakes in good working order on any new car today has the ability to lock the wheels up. The difference between brakes like the base and sport comes from reducing brake fade and pedal effort required to stop the car.

This base brakes/bacon thread almost killed me!!!:inoutroflpuke:

I found the guy who started the bacon talk. Guilty as charged!!!:icon17:

i have the z1 sport package upgrade love them :)

im suddenly craving bacon...

Ill be eating some bacon with my breakfast in the morning.

the best kind of sandwich a woman can make, is one that has bacon in it

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

I drain off the grease from Canadian bacon and pour it into my crankcase. Oil temps dropped 20*:tup:

Don't try this with American swine - it will clog your filter.:tiphat:

IBTL

Z Meets Wall: We Investigate Why the NISMO Z's Brakes Failed at Lightning Lap - Feature - Car and Driver

There is the answer. If the sport brakes go soft after a few track laps. crappy pads, aerodynamics, and no break cooling vent, and boiling brake fliuid. If one can cook the sport brakes the base brakes don't have a chance on the 370z. They will heat up a lot faster and fade quicker.

Aritcal states the hardware is just fine the cooling of the brakes seems to be the issue. Looking at the car I notice no cooling design what so ever. Even my Sky Redline has front vented cooled front brakes, heck even my Expedtion. Nismo 370z none??? WTF!

So let me get this we pay a lot for the car, then have to purchase upgraded pads, oil cooler, trans cooler, diff cooler, new brake fluid, and brake cooling kit to hit the track?

Sounds like the OP is an "interesting" person who needs "guidance".

You are not cooking anything from ONE 70-0 stop, buy better tires if you want to stop quicker.

Have you ever been to the track? Go find a track regular who is on the stock pads and stock fluid, they will laugh at you.

Also as a FYI. The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes option, you know the $8K option on 911/Boxster, can't take the abuse of a full track day either. If you overheat them by doing straight laps/sessions, they will simply wear out and you will end up having to pay $5K for a new brake job. Some of the GT3 owners actually swap the PCCB out to get the brakes off the regular car since they are much cheaper and are more reliable at the track or they have to buy DEDICATED TRACK PADS like everyone else

So many things wrong this post, I'm not even going to bother explaining.

lol im assuming that you have tried this and found out the hard way? You have done it all wrong im sorry to say. Once you do that, you have to add some bacon booster and it will clean out your entire fuel system and such. Even guves your car a little extra kick :rofl2:

Does it add delicious applewood or hickory smoke flavor?

Lmao @ this thread

I ate some free bacon at the Hampton Inn in Yuba City this morning. It was delicious. It was free. It was all-you-could-eat.

i bought 2 x 1lb pounds of bacon at Rouse's yesterday for 4$! what a bargain!!

pepperoncino (sp?) over the weekend. :yum: bacon + garlic + hot peppers spagetti.

:tup:

Oh Lordy

best thread ever!!

Was there Bacon grease on the roadway ?

Or your sneakers ?

That will cause the brakes to lose traction, and skid..Anti Lock is no match for bacon...

Bacon for President!

or ruler of Earth!

Man I love bacon :tup:
