The 4000 Series 6x6 Slotted disc is the now discontinued disc which has been replaced by the T3. The only difference is the Slot design changing the material quality and Kangaroo paw system remain the same. Its an R32 I have but I think I know the R33 you mean, I have an old Honda Integra as a track car which is just as fun and a lot cheaper to run on track, the R32 only manages about 5mpg on track!

I have edited the original post to show who has paid, as soon as everyone is paid I will get the bonnets ordered.

The 350Z seems to have a fairly decent brake set up as standard, those Brembo callipers feel strong and the disks are reasonably generous in their diameter and vent width. So for me, the first key to brake longevity is decent fluid, then decent pads. I think that would offer better performance than regular fluid, pads and good disks. That said, I will need disks as mine are reasonably worn. Have you more info on the DBA disks - are they a blueprint of the oem disk or are they better quality? I see the 4,000 series slotted and drilled disks on your website, are these suitable for the odd trackday? Any recommendations on pads? You are correct in saying that high performance fluid and the right pad for application will make a big improvement. It really depends how hard you are on the brakes on track and indeed what track you use the car on. Somewhere like Knockhill for instance is extremely hard on brakes and my Skyline really struggles there compared to the Nurburgring where the set up I ran coped perfectly well. The DBA discs run a unique Kangaroo Paw venting system, it sounds like a gimmick but the way it allows the heat to disperse makes a big difference to running temperature. Selecting the correct pads though is crucial to operating temperatures, DS2500 is a very popular choice for a lot of guys using the car on track but there are better options available depending on your driving style and needs. Ds3000 or Pagid RS29 would be a consideration as would Carbon Loraine RC6. We would only recommend the DBA T3 Slotted for track use, a drilled disc is not a good idea for hard use unless the holes are cast into the discs like the ones you'll find on a Porsche. To give you an example I have a customer with a Z4 M who used DBA 4000 Slotted with DS2500 round Knockhill, this guy is a very aggressive driver and he managed to crack one of the discs, this was down the the DS2500 simply not coping with the very high temperatures the brakes were getting to, we switched him to DS3000 and he never had the problem again.

After seeing the video of the 370Z this could be a lot of fun! It sounds like a proper spec car, cheap for that kind of money http://www.rallycarsforsale.net/clas/index.php?ct=fsrc&md=details&id=73245

Welcome along

Some good advice given, if its track days your looking to do you will need a disc that can take the extra heat generated. We are the UK distributor for DBA and have them on the shelf for the 350Z Drop me a PM if you need more information or advice on suitable pads.

PM sent

Happy Birthday!

We have OEM and Superpro bushes in stock just drop me a pm if I can help. As has been said front end knocks can be the compression arm bush or ball joint but if your arb bushes are worn it makes sense to change them

Might be an idea to start another thread to see what interest there is, I'm not saying I could do anything but it would allow me to look into it depending on interest. We now have 5 confirmed orders for the OEM bonnets so I will be able to supply at the discounted price I will contact everyone that has agreed to buy on Monday with payment details, in the meantime if anyone else wants to add their names then please do as ill leave the GB to run until Friday.

Thanks I have added you now, I only need 5 people to get the price quoted so hopefully early next week

Welcome along

Done Paddy thank you

Sorry only OEM at the moment

Yes they come unpainted

Right guys this is the first Group buy from us. After listening to your ideas we have gone for one of the most popular mentioned the HR humped bonnet. These are the genuine Nissan panel and we can supply them for £255 if we can get 5 or more people to sign up. We can arrange delivery with Fed-Ex using a fully insured next day service for £32.50 or you can collect from us in Kintore Aberdeenshire if any of the locals fancy one.

Its is also advisable to change the seating cone at the same time http://www.clarkmotorsport.co.uk/parts/Compression-Rod-Cone/40173-33P00 We also supply fitting instructions as if fitted incorrectly you will have alignment issues

OEM or pattern? Pair or single? David That's for Genuine OEM Nissan and that price is a single bush

Ha! yeah....i took the miltek backbox off to size up trying to sort a new backbox to be made, see how i go. I am guessing its Redline Performance you work at? Thought it must have been something like that after your first post about your plans. We used to run the workshop there but sold it to Jim Reid in April to concentrate purely on parts sales but have ended up having to stay in the building due to a recent fire in our warehouse, we will hopefully be moved into to our new premises in the next couple of months though

Yes indeed, I will have the first one posted up tomorrow We will hopefully have another for December I am just finalising details Keep an eye out tomorrow!

You were outside our work tonight, I take it you know you have no back box Actually sounded quite nice without one!

If you are talking about the seating cone this is a separate part and Nissan recommend its replaced at the same time as they will wear which maybe explains the difference between the two?

Do not want!
