    So after reading some threads and also talking to people locally. 
     

    I feel my rotor options are:

    Tarox F2000

    or DBA T3 

     

    Pad option:

    Ferodo ds2500


    Also open to any new recommendations of setups people are running. Hard Road use but also use for commuting once a week. Performance from setup needs to suit both scenarios. 


    Please can I have some help with this. 
    I currently Tarox G88 rotors and Tarox strada pads (not a great experience) 

     

    Cheers

    Hi Jay,

     

    Stoptech, DBA or TORQEN for the discs will be absolutely fine for what you're using them for, they're all good for fast road use and daily driving.

    Front Stoptech: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/495-350z-stoptech-discs-for-brembo-brakes-front-pair-slotted.html

    Rear Stoptech: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/discs/509-350z-stoptech-discs-for-brembo-brakes-rear-pair-slotted.html

     

    (The Stoptech are also available in Slotted and Drilled as well as solely drilled).

     

    Pads, Ferodo's you mentioned are good, if you wanted some other suggestions - Stoptech and Hawk pads are also worth looking into, all three brands have great reviews. If brake dust is an issue, go for the Hawks.

     

    Also worth keeping in mind the Ferodo can be slightly squeaky at times and can have a fair amount of brake dust if that's going to be an issue for you :) 

     

    As always, do feel free to message me if you need anymore help.

  2. BC's or TEIN are more than enough for what you're going to be using them for, we've sold many sets of both with not one returned, people using them for drifting and track days. Not sure who you spoke to but I can guarantee you either of those are sufficient. They both have UK HQ's where spare parts are well stocked. 

    If you really want to go all out, KW or Bilstein are the creme de la creme.

    Hello Coz,

     

    I'm looking for front brake pads (rear also in the future) and this might be a stupid question but the stoptech pads say Akebono brakes, are these upgraded discs?

     

    Would you recommend Stoptech over the Hawk pads?

     

    Edit: Just had a quick research and the Akebono brakes are related to the calipers which my 40th anniversary has so please ignore.

     

     

    Hello! 

     

    You're correct regarding the Akebono part, it's referencing they fit those calipers.

     

    Hawk ceramics produce less dust, they also offer a range for track use, however that will be overkill for what you're needing.

     

    We usually recommend Stoptech Sport or Hawk Ceramics for fast road/daily use. 

     

    Feel free to drop me a message if you have anymore questions.

  4. Hey Guys,

     

    Happy to finally announce our 2024 summer meet that we host annually at TORQEN.

     

    Date: 21st July 2024

     

    Time: Starting from 12pm

     

    Location: TORQEN, Unit 3 Quarry Court, Pitstone - LU7 9GW 

     

    Japanese cars only in the main area, if you want to pop down in the daily or have friends with other cars that are coming, that's fine - they'll just be parked on the main road or in another courtyard. No tickets required, just turn up on the day. We'll organise food and music so it'll be a great day out for the family. Static meet so no silly drifting or racing involved, we're in a small village!

  5. All 350z Y Pipes are the same, no matter if it's a GT4 or not, it will fit providing it's made for a 350. 

     

    What I always say is buy cheap, buy twice. If you buy a Y Pipe from eBay, chances are the flexi's will go again on it in the near future and you'll end up having to pay again for fitment costs which could be avoided by buying a quality product in the first place.

     

    If it was me changing it, I'd go for something without flexi's at all, that's the most common failure point on the Y-Pipes. 

     

    Something like STILLEN or the V2 TORQEN Y Pipe.

  6. Speak to Dan Skippy Thomas on Facebook, he's the expert when it comes to customising 350z/370z headlights, done tons for our customers and also customises the DEPO's which we sell. I'm sure he can point you in the right direction. 

  7. If they're made in the USA, I'll eat my own shoes right now on live stream :lol:

     

    In all seriousness, I would go for something more reputable, the likes of Invidia, TOMEI, GReddy etc.

     

    As they say, buy cheap, you end up buying twice and if you have any warranty issues shipping back to the states is going to be a killer.

  8. Hi Geoffrey, 

     

    Welcome to the forum! 

     

    You'll probably struggle to find a used kit on here, unless you get super lucky, as soon as one comes up for sale they get snapped up very quickly. 

     

    If you are interested in a brand new kit, we have these options: 

     

    TopGun - Rotrex kit: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/turbos-superchargers/superchargers/72373-370z-z34-topgun-rotrex-c38r-supercharger-kit.html

     

    Z1 Motorsports kit: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/turbos-superchargers/superchargers/236366-370z-z34-z1-motorsport-complete-supercharger-kit.html

     

    Feel free to drop me a message if you had any questions. 

  9. The easiest way would be to take the engine out, have that shipped here, replace it with a standard engine and sell it in Spain. 

     

    Once you're here, find an equivalent rust free example and put the engine in. 

     

    With the amount of money and time you're going to spend on converting it, you may as well get a new one here and use the funds to upgrade that rather than a conversion. 

  10. Hi Guys,

     

    Haven't really posted much about it but you're all going to hate me, I managed to snap up Ed's old HKS supercharged 350z a few weeks back at the steal of a price it was.
