Same here, I still need to get off my lazy *** and do something with my spare. Either replace it with one that fits, or just ditch it all together. Ehhhh...maybe tomorrow.

Cool



Painted my Akebonos and swapped in two-piece Z1 rotors.

Paint is VHT Engine Metallic Burnt Copper, since its not true caliper it will be interesting to see how it holds up. The primer and stain clear were Flame Proof which takes really high temps.

how much bigger are the 2 piece rotors compared to just the regular rotors that come with the Akebonos?

Does anyone have experience with Powerstops? Apparently they're just refurbished Akebonos?

Is anyone running a dual rear caliper setup with 13.8" rotors?
I have an akebono kit with 13.8s front and rear and I'm looking to install a hydro but I'm wondering if theres a different caliper I can use that will fit since the akebono ones are quite pricey

Smile Rebuild

Any ideas about the spotting on my disk?


Tein coilovers with default setup for Z33 kit. Sitting about 15mm lower in tail

Beautiful fit with Akebono 4 pots and DTM Gravit 18" x 9"

So satisfying

Frenkit seals are soooooooooo much better than the FEBEST knock offs. Just saying.

Hi, there are a lot of YouTube clips that show people putting PVC decals on their rebuilt calipers. Just wondering what material was used as I am anticipating (track) temperatures around 350F.

Default Decal?

Beautiful work buddy. What spec of material was used for the decal and have they stood up to enthusiastic use?
