Just wondering, you all love your Z's, right? but is there anything about them you dont like?

Yeah that is true, a mate commented on how I nearly threw him through the windscreen the other day when I didnt really think they'd been that effective lol ;)

 

I guess once you start hiking the power up then you expect more of the brakes :) And I'm never really *that* confident with them for some reason.

New one has braided lines, grooved discs, working pistons, AMAZING how much more chuckable the car becomes!

........They also definitely need a bit of heat to get going - so driving around town they'll always be crap. I'd rather have crap brakes at 30mph than 100 tho!

 

And the other thing is they seem worse than most car brakes because you drive the Z harder than most cars.

 

I agree with this, the brakes on my car are good at 30 but better at 100+ :tongue:

 

I'm just about to replace the discs, though coz I have warped them........

 

.......they've shown signs of warpage since a very hard stop from almost 150 :x: Got loads of smoke from the pads too, lol....

How much the MO FO has cost me since day one! LOL

I have to give the daily driver brakes a bit of a rest at about 60mph when stopping from 120. ;) Z just... stops!

 

(Bit naughty cooling-wise doing that too, ho hum)

mmm....

 

turning circle, its just crap

filling up as most people have said

adjustable column would be nice too

shitty lights on low beam, even with xenon bulbs, so HID kit soon i think

 

erm.....erm....cost iguess, but not bothered about that, the smiles per mile more than make up for it :D

I don't like the prices she can cost buts what you get for having such a lush car

Ummm....

 

Brakes arent that good

Jacking the front up is a PITA

Yeah the windsceen wiper extra wipe annoys me too

Fecking insurance :mad:

My quote for this year: £352 FC

I've got the kit organised by Paul Arundale (ArundaleP) but as I have a UK car it's not essential. The kit cost me £165ish but if you want it I'll sell it for £150 inc postage...

 

Let me know mate...

Drip Drip Drip when its raining and having to use a bin liner so I dont get a wet ass. Never having the car totaly 100%

Poor visibility looking over your right shoulder.

mines a UK too, lights are still rubbish, high beam isnt so bad, just dipped, awful!! may as well not have lights at all! hehe

 

£150 a good price, problem is, i done loads of engine work past month (big end went :cry:) so bit short on the old readies :(
