Our GT-R Time Attack program (two cars) has consumed a lot of our time over the past 8 weeks. Now that the season is over (finished 3rd in the national points choice), we're back it it with the 370Z. More updates coming soon!

So the plan is to keep the OEM BBK?

And can't go wrong with TE37's, great choice.

Congrats on 3rd!

I don't think so, since they sold them a while back, but that was some rather odd wording Sharif. Will they clear my brembos?

He said they would be running stoptechs I believe?...

Sharif so whens your turbo kit coming in? hehehe
Your gonna have the evil twin to me!!!

We are definitely going to have to do a photo shoot of the GTR and 2 370z's when we get them done!

cant wait for your updates

They will clear the OEM sport brake kit (for those that aren't swapping them out). But they will also clear aftermarket BBK's as well.

We are running the StopTech Trophy Series brakes on the car...nothing changed there.

If we run a DOT tire for certain events, it will be a 295 front and 335 rear. Slicks will be 280/330 combo, as they are sized a little differently.

I might have to come do a test fit when they get in.

Nice! I was confident they would take care of those TPMS sensor resync for you. You have a beautiful ride...bring it back soon for some powwaa!

Our Brakes showed up today from StopTech!

Enjoy this eye candy. It's hard to believe these will be covered in brake dust before too long

Togo · 12-15-2009, 05:38 PM

nogoodname · 12-15-2009, 05:45 PM
