That's an interesting issue I have not heard of... Maybe you got a brembo kit from a
suby or evo? Sounds like a simple enough solution, but ultimately costing too much...

The saving grace for me is that the setup from the R35 can only be had as a takeoff.
From what I can ascertain Nissan can't provide calipers, unless they're ordered with a
large wait (and you've got $11k). The gold coloring is also unavailable otherwise...

thanks for the input - oh, and the rear brackets are done too.

just gotta install.

I am having a hard time sourcing suspension for my car.
Unfortunately I am going to hold off on photos until that's done.

All in due time.

I am looking for a suspension sponsor too. If anyone is interested
in some great exposure pm me.

Pretty weak...I'm sure everyone here would love to see progress pics. Your car doesn't have to be --perfect-- to post it....you can always post more pics later...

Yeah I agree with ^^^^ what hard time are you having sourcing a suspension? Is it that you don't want to pay a lot for a suspension or you're looking for a sponsor?

Well, what better way to seek sponsorship than to POST PICTURES of a Z with a one-off expensive brakes and a clean exterior?
