Message Here are some pics from the install of the 350z track brembo brake kit. Going to take a look at the rear calipers tomorrow to get a lay of the land. All in all, pretty straightforward upgrade.



350z Track rotor vs 300zx rotor. Big difference



350z Track rotor and caliper vs. 300zx rotor and caliper



350z brembo caliper vs. 300zx caliper. It's actually not *as* big compared to stock 300zx as I thought it was. It's definitely bigger, but not night and day difference.



I popped off the clip holding the brake line. I was able to move it out of the way for the rest of the project.



Dust shields got to go. Used my dremel to cut here



Then popped it off with a screwdriver



I drilled out the hole with biggest drill bit I had. 1/2". That wasn't big enough, so I started opening up the hole with a file.



Got tired of the dripping brake fluid, so I plugged it up.



Filing sucks, So I got the dremel again and made short work of it.



Looks purdy



All back together



Stock for comparison


Took about an hour and a half for each side. Pretty straight forward. Can't wait to try em out. I am sure I won't be disappointed.
