Thinking about upgrading the brakes. Does anyone have 3g brake discs on their z ?

If so how much is the braking performance improved?

See Macca's motor for brakes upgrade. I think it's fair to say he has that well sorted.

Do a search loads more links if you need more info.

The best bet is to go for the Brembo R33 kit.I have not done a better brake upgrade than this. Had mine on for about 7 months now and its amazing. The 3 g brakes wont improve your stopping power but are just very good OEM replacments.

OK OK OK......

 

I've had the R33 brakes on my car now for a year - fair enough it has been off the road a fair while since christmas but thats another story.....

 

THIS IS THE BEST MODIFICATION YOU CAN DO TO A ZED!!!! Nuff said!

 

The problem is obtaining disks for the R33 calipers but I am looking into getting this sorted.... The calipers are freely available so once I have more details I'll keep everyone posted....

 

The problem with the R34 brakes is that a little modification is required to make them fit 320mm discs....

.......and b4 anyone says the 3g and green muff pads give you increased stopping power, has anyone done a back to back test with NEW stock discs and pads against NEW 3g and green muff pads???? They are bound to feel better with newer discs.....

I've bought front & rear 10 GR's slotted NOT 20's, I'll let you know how they are, I picked these because hopefully there will be less pad wear, and a little cheaper

good luck

Cheers for the info dudes.

Will the R33 kit go on with stock wheels or do you need to go the whole hog and get a lovely set of 18" split rims to match?
