  1. hi everyone this is a post just to make you all aware of a issue i recently had with the k-sport big brake kit i inherited when i bought my z, firstly when i bought the car there was always a slight brake judder but nothing to be concerned about.

     

    recently the brake judder became a lot worse and was definitely something that needed immediate attention, the judder felt like it was coming from the rear with little to none being felt through the steering wheel, the rear calipers where extremely hard to remove and on first glance the calipers didn't seem to be retracting on brake release, on closer inspection the d2500 pads where extremely gummed up with brake dust and where completely seized and didn't seem like they where the correct fitment due to how seized they where with all the brake dust removed, removal of the paint on the side of the pads and some copper slip seemed to solve the issue. if anyone else has had similar issues with k-sport i would be interested, photos should follow.

  2. Hi guys as seen in the title, today I found out that my Rear left HSD dualtech shock absorber has failed and I will require a new rear pair, I tried contacting HSD for a replacement pair but they will only sell me a complete coilover package, if anyone has any ideas on good coilover packages that would be great or know of anyone selling a 2nd coilover set that would also be great.

  3. hi im currently after a true rear coilover set as the previous owner of my car cheaped out and didn't  go for a true setup, i preferably only want the rears but will take the whole set if the price is right 

     

    thanks in advance. 

  4. hi guys, I am currently building a track focused Z with the intentions of turning it into a full on track only car, in the next few months i will be building a sump guard that will have two air ducts connected to  the  front brake assembly via some flexible air ducting.

     

    i have a rough 3D cad design and it would be great if people are  up for some dishing out some feedback , it would also help if i could have people that are interested in getting one, to message me as i may be able to reproduce if there is enough interest, i am  a Motorsport design engineering student so this is something i love doing, i will do a build log if needs be.

     

     i will let the CAD renders do the talking.
