Yes you do.

Beautiful!

Thanks, its much appreciated!

Biggest Asian!

AM NOT!

Brakes on the S need an upgrade big time, look like Z32 calipers but tiny ass rotors.

Just went to 350z 13s on my Z32 and omfg the difference.

I will politely disagree, having gone from stock single piston calipers all around to a 4 piston caliper up front and dual piston caliper in the rear off a '96 300ZX TT, they're MORE than enough. Yes, there are upgrades to be had when choosing what kind and size rotor you can put on, but when you cannot even utilize the entire pad surface area just because you want bigger rotors is not the right way to go about it. Also, for a 300ZX, the curb weight of the varying cars are anywhere between 3,186lbs to 3,602lbs. Where as the 95'98 model 240SX cars were 2,762.4lbs. For a car that weighs roughly 500lbs less? Yeah, these brakes are again, more than enough. Just sayin'.

All too true, and I guess with that reduced curb weight the need to stop isn't as bad as my 3200lb fat ass Z32 haha

Not so much though the bigger rotors, but moving the caliper farther from the center which reduces the force needed to grip the rotor. I went from having to use 20-30% pedal to stop with upgraded OE rotors, pads, fluid, lines... to literally 5% pedal... first day I drove it after mounting everything I locked the wheels down by accident x3

Amount of pad lost on the Z32 caliper with Z33 rotor is minimal, maybe 1mm goes off the side. Honestly the tolerance is so tight for this upgrade I don't know if there was a way to improve that, although Z1 said they'd look into it lol

Then again I didn't even think to ask if you had 4 bolt or 5 bolt hubs.

They're 5-lug hubs, and until Z1 finds a solution for the pad overhang I will remain content with these brakes. Anything would have been a better performance choice over the stock system no matter which way you slice it.

There was on person fabricating his own that offered 100% pad use... however he no longer makes them and refuses to -.-

brackets for the calipers...

Sexy as hell man

Thank you husky butt!

Moar pictures of your car and your suit, cmon man, deliver! :P

I will soon enough! I would really like for us all to get together one day/weekend. You, me, Rob, Rory, Huski...maybe Tig and Jaeger and just go for a nice mountain cruise during the leaf looker time and snap some really nice shots. Thoughts?

Hit me up on IMs next time and we can talk about it.

I'm depressed again

Get rid of the IS, and get another 240sx? Or grab something better?

Very nice photo!!

Thank you much! But I can't really take credit for it, was a friend of mine who took this pic.

still a wicked awesome car =3

hey, the bandaids missing O.o

Has it been THAT long since you've last seen the car? Also has a brake upgrade. Also...is it bad that you posted this an hour ago and I JUST now got up to get ready for work?

yeah, we had to move around march, and the last time i saw you was around november last year i think =o

and no, its not bad, my sleep schedule is messed up too XD

also, that icon is adorable X3

Haha.. wish my ride had this sorta tire-to-fender-gap-ratio.. very nice ride! You inspire me to drop me... I must plan.

LOL! Do it! It took me a while to calculate offset, tire width, wheel size, diameter, etc...but with your car and the torque it probably produces, its gonna squat hard in the rear. its a live rear axle, right?

I already rub with passengers.. but only just. I need to roll the fenders and if I drop it Ill more-then-likely require abusing my inner fender wells in the rear because of how wide the tires are. I loovveee mini-tubs but can't find anyone local willing to do it. Its a posi-rear, forgot the make.. but a terrible 2.73.. which, if I keep the car, will be swapped in the spring for a 3.73 which wont help my lack of traction already.. To say the least, I have many suspension upgrades I want to do to assist with the drop, its just figuring out what shocks to go with. We'll see!
