Ceramics feel amazing but just not necessary on any application. Our brakes need to be re-engineered for weight reduction and improved cooling. Our brakes are very good. Especially at the price point. But we need aftermarket pads. I added the stop tech rotors, brake lines pads n motul rbf 600 to my sport brakes. It was a $700 MOD along with the GTR brake cooling upgrade. $220. I definitely improved brake performance significantly which means that there's a lot of room for improvement on very good Z brakes. Hopefully next gen well see performance closer to my modded stock Z brakes[/QUOTE] Agreed...I have done the same; SS brake lines, better brake pads, Castro brake fluid (the good stuff lol), APR brake ducts, Stillen brake cooling and Z1 master cylinder brace. So yes there is a lot of room for improvement and if they are wanting to keep up with the competition, they will upgrade the brakes as did Ford and GM have done.

I dunno... Just look at the Z34 price point. We already know (or suspect) the 400hp TT setup is coming. Now add Brembos on top and whatever other improvements we want to see over the Z34, shiiiiiiet... We might be asking for a car that really does hit the 60k mark. Would you be willing to pay that price? I'm secretly hoping Nissan pulls a magic card out of their *** and gives us the car [most] of us want, at a price [most] of us are willing to pay, but I guess time will tell if it actually hits the mark. You're right in saying that GM and Ford added nice brakes, in addition to a ton of power and pretty nice handling suspensions (or at least way nicer than they did in the past), but one thing they didn't give a crap about was weight- the Z34 uses extensive amounts of aluminum and Nissan did their best to keep the weight down... That in itself isn't cheap. So which would you prefer? I doubt Nissan will give us everything. Last edited by Nithmo; 02-21-2017 at 10:38 AM. |

It's moments like these I wish Nissan wasn't a publicly traded company, where they were hellbent on maximizing profits, year after year. |

Nissan has us by the short hairs and they know it because even with the cars short comings there are no real competitors as been said over and over. I love my z, I was the only one a the track one this past weekend and the professional photographer that was the only one that take and sale pictures took 47 pictures of my car over the weekend. When my buddy asked her why she took so many pictures of it, she said because it's different and it's fast. I like taking pictures of the unique cars! Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
