I just did mine and all those swirll marks from machining were gone in days.
At the track they performed very well.
You will like what you purchased.

I can't wait to change out my rotors...holding off for Black Friday deals since they're still not gone yet.

Just got word from Shine auto. After a long wait, my amuse rep sides and rear are ready for pickup. Now I just need to make arrangements to borrow a truck to pick them up.

^Always the crappy part of getting larger parts. I have that Nismo rear bumper in my living room still because I'll need to rent a truck to get it to the body shop.

What did I do to my Z today?

That.

I installed my rear fog/brake light!

RN SHARK 05-14-2014 04:48 AM

Drove the Z to work (which I never do) because my 240SX won't start after changing out the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, head gasket, and fuel filter. And yes, the plugs are in the correct order. Trying to prep it to sell before I move. Not going well so far.

Z1 > Racing brake?

There is probably a thread on this somewhere.

Installed the SPC rear camber kit today. Started on the passenger side and the install went flawless. I took my time grinding out the toe bolt holes. Moved to the driver side and noticed that the bit wasn't really cutting well. I changed it out to a new one and continued grinding away. The driver side just didn't seem to cut away as good as the passenger but I finally finished. Went to go test fit the SPC toe bolt and BAM...I had spent all that time elongating the camber arm hole. :shakes head: Frustrated I curse and go grab a beer.

Move back to the correct hole, mark my lines and start dremeling away. Again I notice the bit not cutting, so I curse again and run to Home depot and pick up another pack of two. Get home and carry on. Again the driver side just didn't seem to cut away as nicely. I just couldn't get a good angle so I ended up only grinding the inner side of the hole as I was getting frustrated. Install wasn't bad, with my screw up, lunch, beer, and trip to the store it took me 5hours and 3 dremel 115 bits.

Tomorrow I go get realigned. Going to aim for -1.8 rear camber. This should be the last of my suspension mods for awhile.

Another reason why meaty tires are better...

Dumb broad on her phone, eating, driving under the speed limit, can't stay in her lane. FU! :mad:

I came up on her going the speed limit, but it was in a curve. Naturally, she was too busy to be bothered with actually driving, so she just wedges me into the curb. I slammed on my brakes, but she just kept coming. This was the result - only one very minor rash. Stock tires would have probably rashed the entire length of contact. These rims are already jacked to hell, so it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. But idiots like that on the road just get my blood boiling :mad:

that's why roads need obstacle course type hazards like pits and wrecking balls. slow cars like priuses wouldn't be able to dodge things :stirthepot:
and if you're an idiot and not paying attention then rip in peaces! :icon17:

Installed the Takeda Stage-2 intake with the Pro Dry S filter. Love the new, cleaner look. Fairly simple install. Butt dyno approved too! :excited:

Uprev tune will be next, in a couple of months...

Z1 2 Piece Akebono Rear Rotors

just more cooling and much lighter! Also inexpensive in long run because they can be rebuilt with new wear irons when they wear or warp.

Zerocool 05-15-2014 09:10 PM

Installed a quadruple turbo system. Sounds like a jet plane on roids!
