| Well im finally done! after 2 days of ordeal with the Z...the brake system got a complete overhaul. Here is the list of what was installed Rebuild of the front calipers
SS brake lines
BMC brace
MM pads
350Z caliper adaptors
350Z front cross drilled track rotors (12.75")
ATE blue brake fluid
Stillen cross drilled rear rotors
300Degree camber correction kit (not brake related but needed) Well this was definately a fun project. I learned tons and tons of information. Many thanks to member apudapus (cliff) who came and helped me out. He did most of the work, I just helped him out :) Thanks again cliff. Anyways onto the pictures! It's the floating/flying Z everyone wants! This is after the first day of work. haha I had people drive down my street and brake to see whats going on lol.
My old rotors...wow they looked like they had never been turned before!
another picture of the rotors
The old pads
Comparing the new 350Z track rotors to the old stock front rotors...big difference
The adaptor for the caliper
Close up
Rotor on
Calipers on after getting painted
Everything installed and close look of the wheel well...man they look so much juicer than the stock (sorry about the bad pics...camera sucks)
 sadly I forgot to take a before pic of how the stock rotors looked with the wheels on... now here is a picture of how my car looked without the camber kit.
This is how it looks after installing the camber kit.
 Since my suspension was sagging cause of age and I couldn't get new shocks and springs yet I had to fix the bad camber with the 300Degree camber kit...man they definately worked and got the tires and wheels to sit correctly. Anyways, again a big thanks to Cliff (SN apudapus) for doing most of the work and also a big thank you to YugoBernie for providing me with this "poor mans big brake kit" and also taking my hard earned money away from me =P.
 I have nightmares about that happening...I'd be the poor bastard you'd hear about on the news that gets killed by a softball-size chunk while spreading out my body over the hood and screaming "Nooo!"

Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM |
