What exactly do you need ?

I have oem rotors, calipers, and brake lines. No pads tho.

You looking to buy or borrow ?

There isn't enough room in the rears for extended studs. IIRC, you need to take apart the e-brake assembly so you can give yourself access to a hole you can push the longer stud through. My DIY is for stock-length studs, but there's another one for extended.
I should have the entire set up from lines to rotors to pads to calipers. I might be missing a couple of washers, though, since I reused them when installing Brembos.

Jake and i have done extended studs on mine before on the rear without removing the drum brakes. When you knock the stud loose turn the hub so the stud is at the bottom and you should have room to slide the old stud out and new one in.
Eric, didn't work. Still not reading temp and says icy.

thanks Pat - it doesn't look horrible - but it does look like i might have to remove the hub which doesn't look too horrible either - i'm hoping the rear axle just falls out basically -

if i have to mess with the e-brake i might have an aneurism - but while i'm there i'll prob adjust it too ... ebrakes pfft wtf sh#t are they still putting those on cars for -

When I did mine, I didn't have to take any e-brake components off (click), but this guy had to take out some retainer to put in ARP studs (click). Either way, you're covered.

Pat, how much longer are yours? I always thought that the really long ones looked cool; I prefer open-ended lug nuts anyway:

Woah Mike! You're worrying too much. Don't plan on taking the hub off. It can easily be done without all that hassle. Like Patrick said you don't even have to disassemble the e-brake.

I don't remember how long they were but not much longer. I only had 10 mm spacers on at the tune but took them off soon after when i got my wheels. Eric, you were right. That thermometer stayed messed up all day and night yesterday and when i got in the car this morning it's back to normal again. Idk what happened with it but I'm happy it works again.

i have front rotors and pads, rotors are little warped and too thin to be turned....but will get you by for a bit, someone can have them if you need them.

so i think i am gearing up to get clutch and flywheel, but going to buy them seperate paydays so it is not a big hit on my finances. after that i think i am pretty close to being done, except the high dollar forced induction i want to do, will prob be best to do headers when i do that huh?

but also causes you to have left over nuts and bolts when tinkering on car!!

It should be noted that you have an '08. If he took my calipers and your rotors it wouldn't work.

Buy the flywheel separate from the clutch? Saves money and hassle buying as a package deal.

Headers? Why? Start doing some research on which type of forced induction you want and see what is needed. To my knowledge most people don't mess with headers on the Z even with forced induction. Also need to know about the added costs. ECU, tuning, possible built engine, etc.

and then again, me and my oddball HR

the clutch package is only $25 cheaper when buying together, i am looking at the GTM supercharger package right now..... but that could change, and it would take me months to save up the money so i have pletnty of time to do more research

I don't know about the GTM kit, but if you just want extra power without going ***** to the wall then a supercharger is a decent idea. You can slap it on and not worry about having to build the block.

what is going to suck most is the heart attack i am going to have when i need to find a shop to put it in..... not a fan of Jotech

I'll probably break my car with a supercharger one day - its still too fun though and i have a ton more track time to get under my belt -

travlee

iTrader: (8)

hell, i have no track time as of yet....

The only thing more fun than removing a dual exhaust is removing a dual exhaust that uses 4 bolts to attach the pipes.

ART pipes about to go on now, then the rest of the new exhaust. Luckily Motordyne uses those clamps. Now I just hope it fits.

i need to take off my passenger cat and send it in for warranty replacement... jake what are you doing in about a week (if interested of course)

Travis - install the supercharger yourself.

I might be up for skeet shooting Sunday.
