Are those floating brake rotors, like the Stoptech kits? Man if so, that's be great. Just having a great set of brakes makes the car worth $4000 more to me, since otherwise I'd have to put a $4k brake kit on it.

There were many vids taken today on the cruiZe from ZCG to Elk Grove Nissan. If no one posts any here, check www.followthenissanz.com You can get a little flavor of how they sound in this vid: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...35053737&hl=en

That was an APS TT, 445rwhp. They dyno sessions were very cool, but they would not allow the 370 onto it. I talked to one of the reps, and he felt it will be in the 285rwhp area, so that's at least an educated dart throw. Alvin's SR Roadster was the first to dyno, then an L28 240Z, two TTZ33s, then a Z32TT. They went in order of rwhp.

They are 19x10s with a 275 and plenty of room for more. I'll go out on a limb and project that a properly-offset 12" wheel can fit on the back, as there was certainly an inch of room on each side of this one, with a 335, given that many have 10.5-11" wheels now without fender mods and 305-sized tires (myself included).

Looks like the rear BBK is the same as the G37 coupe's. I hope that vendors will start selling the front and rear BBK's for the Z33.

Doesn't look bad at all. At first when I saw the pics leak online, I wasn't too fond of it, but I actually got to take a good look at it at the LA Auto Show, much much better in person.

I was looking for that... no, they don't looks floating but I guess stoptech will come out with replacement floating areorotors pretty soon, like they have for the brembo on the 350z...
bigger concern is... brake pads... the caliper doesn't looks brembo, G37 has akebono, and no high performance pads so far. and I really like ferodo ds2500/3000 and 2.11 for the 350z (they are cheap too)

I'm really curious how the rev matching will work with a really light flywheel.. that could help for everyday drivability and for a pure performance point of view... on the track you'll focus only on braking without any concern about rev matching... (and you can still turn it off)

Hmm.. how big do you want it? That one is 800x600 pixels, but the original is like 4300x2850 pixels.

If you'd like, I can email the file to you if you PM me with your address. It's about a 5MB file size. If your ISP will let you have one that big in your email. I can convert it to any size though.

The bolt on the front rotor is to keep distracted mechanics from putting the rear wheels on the front. The bolt is easily removed for aftermarket wheels that would not have the cavity like the stock fronts.
