As long as the shim is correctly shaped for the pad i dont see a problem
maybe the rotor thickness is wildly different but i cant see it being that much from gtr to z
and unless you have a car that already has those GTR brembos that arent a particularly good upgrade anyways
theyre usually...
z1 now offering titanium shims for Z33 Brembo, Z/Rz34 Akebono and R35 Brembo
https://www.z1motorsports.com/search?q=titanium%20shims
Short version is titanium shims help keep brakes cool by resisting heat transfer to the caliper
there are more detailed explanations out there if you’d like to...
i got my MX72’s on discount from Concept Z (i think they were clearing stock for MX72 plus)
endless quoted me Mx87 at:
Front $305.00
Rear $305.00
i am not surprised at the rotor price as they seem like a low volume item
otherwise Brandon was fine to deal with, nothin complicated in the...
Echoing this. You are about a half inch taller in front and rear
you should be running one step lower in the aspect ratio front/rear
This is reducing your clearance
Otherwise, adjust the coilovers as describe above
Also shaving/cutting/sanding whatever your liners is pretty standard
all i know is that the nissan solutions haven't worked, even GTR owners are always looking for more cooling
on the z34, ducting has worked, but it will always vary by diameter, tires, rotors, and driver
basically - do everything
yeah it's been mentioned a few times
at above stock power levels, with 100TW tires
you need 2.5 inch ducting or better, plus 2 piece rotors (the good kind, like Paragon or Racing Brake)
or even consider swapping the stock system for something more dedicated from AP Racing
before you throw money away that you don't even have yet, i strongly suggest you read through some threads on the wheel/suspension forums and other places
Wheel fitment involves many factors
the same wheels in bad spec will look like crap
The RZ34 platform can fit massive wheels - with...
There is 100% something wonky going on with how spring rates are being translated
I have Aragostas, a JDM company (worked with AST)
Look at their chart (from their website directly).
I have Type-S, 14/10's for my Z34
All of their RZ34 options are in the same ballpark, and more importantly, are...
While they have JDM appeal, I'm not sure you're coming out ahead when compared to just getting some Paragon rotors for $900 (maybe less if you catch a sale), and you'll have domestic support in the US)
and if you want a complete caliper/rotor set for track . . . AP Racing is more accessible...
There are a variety of fixes at different price points. You'll need to pick the one that suits your needs
At the bottom is the Z1 Anti-Starve kit, which is basically just a Hydramat and an auxiliary pump, plus some wiring. You can source the parts individually as well, and probably beat their...
