Check out their Z34 kit which is the 370Z kit. S/ST models are same as Sport model here in the States.

It's because this website serves pages using the Latin-1 character set and cannot display the characters properly.

What exactly do these pistons do better than stock?

fuct · 03-01-2011, 03:00 PM

anyone have any experience with these?

Red__Zed · 03-01-2011, 03:06 PM

Interesting

fuct · 03-01-2011, 03:09 PM

I assume being Ti they wouldnt transfer heat from the pad to the fluid as much. no? more durable and a tad lighter maybe?

its an intersting thing to add if your getting your calipers taken apert for powdercoating....

not being able to read japanese, I just see a small thing saying you go from 148 grams to 51 grams, so I assume its just weight savings. I would much rather they make a solid piston to absorb more heat. Thats the common piston upgrade for corvettes and such.

they are aluminum not titanium like i thought. hmmmmm

For those of us not fluent in international trade relations/currency... What are we looking at in terms of cost for these?

Front: 30k Yen ~ $XXX

Rear: 18k Yen ~ $XXX

Do any vendors on here carry these? Or can get these... Might as well if you're going to be taking them apart anyways right?

Mike · 03-01-2011, 07:17 PM

360 and 220. all you have to do is type in 30000 yen to USD in google and it solves it for you.

Not worth it IMO.

Even if I send the calipers to you for a PC job? They'll be shinyer than the old ones...

fuzzywuzzy · 03-01-2011, 07:37 PM

That is a ripoff at those prices

I'd be more than happy to install them for anyone

Interesting... Maybe a good alternative if one were to rebuild their caliper for whatever reason.
