This is going on a big, beautiful Q70S 5.6 - my daily.
I live in Houston so Wangan Midnight/Tokyo Xtreme Racer is a daily occurrence. I need something that will stop Big Bertha consistently.
I'm running Vanilla Akebono with SS lines, RBF600, Drilled/Slotted rotors with OEM+ level pads.
It's...
Nismo RZ34: Plug and play, grab a bigger dust shield
R35: Brackets, lines, etc (far greater complexity)
I guess my paramount question was "Do they offer a noticable increase in breaking over standard Akebono's"
On a scale of 1-10....If Vanilla Akebono is let's say a "5" is Akebono+ a 6, 7...

In my shoes what do you guys think?
Nismo RZ34 or go for the gusto (and hassle) with R35?
No crazy go fast stuff, the goal is "Clean Classic" with reliability, That 2J will last her forever.
- Paint is nice enough where it's worth a paint correction w/ Ceramic and PPF

- Replacing all the Halogen...

Daughter turns 16 in October, she begged that I don't put her in a beater.
Wife told me "You have a budget of 5k, find her something reliable cheap and safe"
So, I did ;)
I found the last not clapped out IS 300 in Texas and I didn't pay over 10k for it lol
My Daughter is the 3rd owner...
I've never ran 0w-20 however I've been running Motul 300V Power for years (370Z, Z4, Q50, Q70) 5w-30 and 5w-40. IMO it's the best oil money can buy.
I saw 8100 Power was just released not too long ago, I gave it a shot to try it out. It's not as "smooth feeling" as 300V (300V feels like nothing...

- Dry Grip, 10/10 - as good as it gets for a "Street Tire", these can do Canyon Duty.
- Wet Grip, 8/10 - As good as it gets for a Summer Tire.
- Noise, 5/10 (worse as they wear) - It's a performance tire, they are loud.
- Poise, 7/10 - Good stiff sidewalls, they do tend to...
