Great stuff!

Not really related but ended up watching some of the video included in that link.

This must be a crappy feeling when you go to slam the brakes and nothing happens.

Awesome man. Good luck this weekend, I really wanted to make it this year but have been working out of town this week as scheduling would have it. Need a Nissan on top!

Good luck guys hope you get 1st place this time. Noticed in a pic that you guys have brembo brakes and not the Akebono brakes. Any reason why? http://compass.xboxlive.com/assets/4...HMA_5_1_13.jpg

'weight' is the first thing that comes to mind

Akrbonos are not a racing brakes. They're just a big brake. The materials used is night and day over a real caliper. The rubber seals even melt and I bet beyond a 20min track session they'd completely fail. This goes for the STI, Cherokee SRT, Regal GS etc that all have Brembos. Check out a real BBK parts list to see what I mean.

Factory stuff is always kinda junky. You'll never get the best of the best unless you buy an Aventador with carbon brakes. Like an Audi with a Bose system. That's no where near a real Bose system!

Depends. Some guys race so much they find a blank rotor that works because replacing two piece cost so much. The caliper weight is marginal unless you go with Stillen's new kit made by AP racing, that cuts the caliper all up so there's like no material left.

What would you recommend as an upgrade that is cost friendly, let's say less than 2k?

synolimit · 05-03-2014, 03:55 PM

I think anyone aftermarket has done their fair share of R&D and would be an upgrade in materials. Under 2k I don't think is going to happen. I'd look to see costs on Brembo, stop tech, wilwood, and AP if it was me. But even with those they are going to have cheap to expensive trim levels of each. I also don't think you need to upgrade unless you're Doran doing 45-1hr races. Pads and cooling ducts might be all you need for track days.

synolimit · 05-03-2014, 08:51 PM

On a side note you could be under 2k if you sell your OEM stuff!

Super Werty · 05-03-2014, 09:04 PM

interesting intake system...wonder where the MAF's are?

synolimit · 05-03-2014, 09:16 PM

Yikes

Dwnshift · 05-04-2014, 12:03 AM

synolimit · 05-04-2014, 12:48 AM

Wait that's a DS car?! If there's no MAF then they figured out speed density tuning on the 370z.

We don't run MAF. Bosch Motorsport ECU
