Warped Disc Debate....
I always respect my brakes, they need to be good. I have never stopped on the pedal after a heavy brake on the last 3 discs, (i did it once and you can see the imprint of the pad on the disc!!) always braked hard then let off at a good speed and carried on for some time to get vital air to the disc. I dunno......My 2 options as i see it are: Get a good quality 350Z disc, say brembo, dba, cpz, etc and see how they go, or.... Go for the whole caboodle, big brake, D2, k-sport, r33-34 brembo set-up, etc.... (A confused and fustrated) Al. (With little funds!!!) LOL

Warped Disc Debate....
OK..... Let me tell you my brake story.... I have replaced my calipers with original Z1 refurbed one's, got relocating brkt's, 350Z discs (brembo set-up), and yellow pads. Now.... i have warped 3 disc's in 12 months, braking from 160+ down to 100-70mph in one hit. Now i am looking to get the D2/K-sport set-up for my front rotors, but..........am i gonna pay £800-£1200 worth of disc/caliper/pad set-up and get to that speed again, brake hard, then.....BANG!!! All that money gone, discs warped due to, too much heat,bad disc,etc.... Has anyone here got the big brake set-up, and got to these speeds and put the pedal to the floor, and the discs survived? I just do not want to throw approx. £1200 at my brakes, brake hard, and to be in the same state they are in now, i would rather pay £150 for a set of discs and throw them away after the track day. (1-2 track days/yr) btw, this is all on open pit, track days. (never on public roads). Al.

which brake pads?
I have yellows fitted to my fronts, and they say the cold bite is bad, i think it is ok. When warm/hot they are great, excellent stopping power, fitted by the best.............."jimmer". Al.

Belt squealing
A simply and quick remedy is some dry clear lubricant in spray form (partco, in a can). It will help the belt grip the metal pulley. Al.

running on 5 cylinders
The sound/feeling of a 300 engine running on 5 cylinders can be very mis-leading. My 300 sits on my drive, not covered, over winter in the elements. When i start the 'ol girl after 2-3 weeks and take her for a drive, she seems to run on 5, but..... she does not. It is simply the intake filter taking in water/moisture and affecting the maf. After driving for 30-40 mins, all is fine. This could be the issue, owing to the fact of the climate. Also, another factor could be boost/vac leak, depends on how she handles on light gas and hard gas. HTH. Al.

Cant boost past 17-18psi, causes?! expert opinoins plz jimmer? legrath? jeff? smithy?
From what you describe jim, this seems to be the problem. 1 acuator fighting the other for greater boost., or so to speak. I think, because the 300 is a V6, everything has to be balanced just right, equal properties on both banks. Set the drivers side up and post back ur findings matey. Hope it works out for u bud. Al.
