Default Anyone know anything about this car?

I know, the car is hideous, but I am trying to find out about the front brakes. Looks like a very interesting kit. I've tried searching on Tom Motorsports and all I came up with was a second hand vendor selling their seats.

The brakes look like the Project Mu kit, but with dual calipers. Any info would be appreciated.

hideous, but the amount of carbon is pretty cool, if in fact it is carbon and not carbon layed over the skin of the car, or otherwise fake (imo a big chance).

The brakes are Project Mu (either that or they are painted teal ). I didn't think they had an application for the Z33, but maybe they were meant for an R34, Z32 or something. He most likely had to buy two front brake sets. I can't imagine what that would have cost. Maybe $5000. Bulletproof can probably get the Project Mu for you. I wonder what you'd need to do get that brake set-up balanced and streetable.

Here is a link to a place that sells the project mu kit for the 350. Project mu big brake kit

And for that type of application, it's more than just buying a second set of calipers for the front. You need to be able to fab a bracket for them, which would possibly involve altering the spindle. You would also need to adjust the brake bias for the 8 extra pistons.

Someone posted a similiar kit on tt.net a LONG time ago but I can't seem to find it. And all my 'dual caliper' searched on google come up with motorcycle links :-/

Thanks.
