Yup, same brakes and rotors. I have slotted rotors which help a lot in cooling and some race padding which don't fade all that much.

BTW - careful on the backroads or on skyline, I know a lot of constant HARD braking is needed but keep in mind that stock rotors weren't designed to handle all that heat and they could potentially warp. (I learned this the hard way as I've warped 2 pairs of rotors before)

But as far as squeeking, just sounds like you need some new pads =)

I think you are right, my mistake. I didn't pay attention.

I ask because I was right behind that G35coupe and man it has one sick body kit. I was on that g's *** (no homo) that G driver was driving with skillz.

I've never really pushed my Z other than on a straight away and that drive was a good test, for the car and myself.

Congrats, you've nominated yourself for some hardcore midnight backroad runs! We'll beat that "straight-line" syndrome right out of ya, then all you're going to care about from now on will be going sideways

A little bullcrap usually does the trick:

"Hunnie... I want to take you on a romantic scenery drive through the mountains! Wouldn't that be such a great idea?!?! Just wanted to show you how much I love you!"

I'll be there with my poopy effed up front bumper thanks to remote start and brothers who leave your car in gear... Probably stock wheels too, my tires have become worn too thin to take them (and trust them) up to skyline. BOOO : ( It'll still be fun though!
