Mishimoto silicone hose kit

For only $874 dorra
Looks like your getting your Z ready for some autoX or road racing? Supposedly, the hawk HP+ pads squeak when their cold. I'm going with Satisfied Gransport GS5's. I also got some Motul fluid, but only for my clutch.

Im getting ready for autox and possibly BIR, I was warned about the squeaking but im not too worried about it since they will serve their purpose.

I was thinking of just getting the slotted rotors that are on sale for $190.

I've never had a problem with squeaky Hawk pads. I'll buy another set when I upgrade the rotors.

Well its $190 for a blank rotor and $30 to have any of the options added. Heres some more info:

http://www.maperformance.com/rotorpr...z-rp-350z.html

So mine came out to $229

For the Hawk pads it only the HP+ the squeak a bit.

I just got quoted over $500 to repaint my side skirts and rear fins. I honestly didn't think it was going to be that expensive.

If I left it black, I'd have to paint the front bumper to match.
