If I drive my car to SA, would you guys be able to make something for my 370? I have stock Akebonos.

^ man, its not that easy....to make my design I got an entire rear knuckle........u can find them at the junk yards for probably about $100-125 bucks max....

With that i can design and build, but otherwise it isn't worth it...it takes bench side mock up to ensure you get this right....

its up to you how much time, money you invest into it........

I'm looking to just go ahead and have my machinist make my 350z rear bracket design as i know it will be designed, analyzed and work with all oem features (parking brake included)...

Thanks for responding. I've been doing some research to see how different the rear knuckle is from the 350z. They look very simliar but Im not sure if swapping out the rear knuckles is an option. Then I can just run the ASD kit. Not that I have that kinda money... Only Edafe has that kinda money. Forsberg somehow got this setup on his 370z.



I need to figure out something, doesnt have to be soon and I dont care about the parking brake. What if I just send you my rear knuckles instead of buying more? The car isnt my daily. I really want dual Akebonos in the rear, dont want to mess up ABS with a passthrough system. Your help is appreciated.

Edit: Another idea is to install the 350z brackets to see how off they are and then just make adjustments to fit the akebonos, what do you think?

I don't know when he is going to make the next batch but I know the first batch are in the hands of everybody by now. And testing is started already. So he should be taking orders on a regular soon.. but once he does that I will post link up on here.

And on a side note.. I got mine in and should be mounting them tomorrow.

I'm super pumped about this but really frustrated, I know design and testing takes a long time but damn.. Been waiting forever for this. Who knows when the next batch will be out if this one took that long

Right now were planning on selling them for $280 shipped that will include the bracket, the hardware to install and a step by step install instructions

I used my personal vehicle to design and test these brackets ive had them on my car for over 6 months and have put them threw a lot of testing ive done 85+mph entrys dragging ebrake and haven't had a single issue with it.

Ill try to post a couple pics of my setup

So I think I've given up on waiting on these... I found a guy up in Canada who makes these. Message Bob Patinka on facebook or check out Patinka Motorsports. He sells these for under $200, but he is out right now. He needs 5 people who want them before he'll make more, I need a set for the Streetwise Drift Pro Am in three weeks, so help me out. Please post here if you are interested.
