looking to upgrade the brakes to 350z discs, but cant find anywhere that does the brackets for it, il be keeping the 300zx calipers just upgrading the discs to 320mill off the 350zx, does anybody know a place that sells the brackets and has anybody done this and what the results like also can i do the same with the rears

for heat dissipation and fade resistance - definatly, yes ;)

 

Which aids to stopping distance.......doh!!!!

Rubbish and you know it.............

You decide...........

 

lol, are you actually having a serious argument with me over which manufacturer of brakes is better ? XD

 

But no, not rubbish at all.

Which aids to stopping distance.......doh!!!!

You know exactly that I mean....or at least I hope you should after the last time we went into this.

can i upgrade the brake fluid 2 and what dot would be the best to go 4?

 

Yep, 4 is ideal. Just avoid 5, its not compatible with 3,4 or 5.1 fluids or associated ABS systems.

lol no, Brembo are a large manufacturer of high end Brake setups for performance cars, but AP Racing are more popular in Racing. This is true.

 

Which is the better manufacturer ? - I don't have an opinion (or care :p lol), it depends on the application I suppose.

Sounds good.

 

You'll be fine with the stock rear brake setup, but you could go for some new discs and high performance pads for a little improved bite and fade resistance if you wanted.

5.1 is fine to use, it offers the highest boiling point of all the Glycol based fluids and is compatible with Dot 3 and 4.

 

(Dot 5 is the one to avoid)
