Well after we design the kit on the roadster we'll have to get a few G35 and 350z guy in, both with brembos and factory brakes to see just what cars these fit on and idealy we will design the kit in a manner that doens't require any cutting or trimming.
I'll keep you guys updated but I promise to have something available before trackday season gets here, I'm not sure however how much volume I will be able to produce initially.

This would substantially reduce brake temperatures on track days and keep even stock brakes from overheating on many circuits. Is this something you guys would be interested in?

I am interested. My breaks got pretty warm on track day. This was my first time out so I may have extended the lapping to long. I don't know how many laps for sure before I came in but after I did and sat for about 5 min. The adrenilan was pumping so fast I wanted to go out again. So I alinged up before the track and hit the breaks and the pedal went to the floor. Yes I have the high temp break fluid. Any way this was scarry. I don't want that hapening when you really need the breaks. I also noticed my power steering fluid came to a boil. Yes it was bubbling. I bought a larger PS cooler through Sumit but don't know if it will fit with the intercooler.
It might have been the length of time I was out or the last few laps I really tried to test how hard I could break into the corner. I sat out for about an hour and a half or more and the breaks came back.
Since then I got a CF hood with vents to help keep things in the eng bay a little cooler? I plan to get a bigger rad this spring from AMS but having a look today question how much room is in there with all the TT ducting.

Yea brake ducting is even more essential when you are putting down a lot of power, the more power you put down, the more heat you have to create to bring the car back down to corner entry speed.
When we have the kit developed i'll contact you and make sure we will have good fitment on other cars, does your car have a BBK?

I have the 2 piece stoptech brakes in stock in slotted for the Brembo cars, I also stock all the brake lines from Stoptech and Russell, as well as The Stoptech Big Brake kits in the 6 piston. I also have 1 set of Brembo BBK slotted in stock for the front if interested.

I was in Hong Kong few months ago, saw 3-4 Z's and G's with the winning power BBK's.. even saw an r34 and 2 EVOs with those brakes, they were pretty cheap too.. one of the G's had 4 calipers on the front (high end sport car style)

Looking into WP right now. If the price is right my buddy and I might each get a set (6 piston front and 4 in the rear).
If anybody else is interested we could get a group buy going.
