Well it certainly is inexpensive enough. If more people try it out with success then maybe it will be a good band-aid until I can do a dedicated track build. I probably will still not trust the brakes 100% though until I bypass that ABS system all together.

Yea Shamu, thats like the fifth time you have been asked with no reply. Can you please provide info on your set up so you can help the rest of the community out....including links to exact parts and some pics of yours.

For me Ryan, this happened at butttonwillow driving cw13, at club corner, I don't need to brake or anything going into it, but when I hit club corner, I don't know what happened but one caliper grabbed for a second...
This only happened once so far out of 30 track days or so.

ok so the part on summit is cheap, but where does it go?!

Googled "Vacuum loss after WOT" or "Vacuum loss after cam upgrade" yielded some results...the 2nd one seems popular among domestics, and they would add a vacuum canister.

I am no mechanic, so I don't exactly know what to search for. Hope someone figures out how to do it....I guess we just have to ask google the right question, b/c whatever the solution is, someone has done it already.

Put a tee in the vacuum line from the manifold to vacuum booster. Then run a line from the tee your new vacuum can that you mounted somewhere under the hood. Simple. The hard part is finding the room to mount the new vacuum can. I got a few ideas on that.

After reading through your thread that explains why I didn't see you running your car on Saturday at Buttonwillow.

Crap! this thread is scaring me. I'm used to driving kit cars on the track with little to NO electronic brains. I will wig if I expect my car to break when I tell it to at at such and such a speed and it "changes it's mind" Just bought a new 370 Z, to hop up and race specifically. Hope I don't regret it....

Welcome to the tortured world we call 370z. Cooling issues, abs issues, rear diff cooling problems, don't get me started on tune problems. Lol! These cars are more expensive than Porsches to track properly!
