  1. Some of mine from the Extreme Horsepower show here in Adelaide last weekend .... and I picked up the "Highest horsepower 6cyl n/a" trophy for my 148.6rwkw dyno run.

    im pretty sure thats a low reading...some boys here are running 155-165 rwkw stock...i swore i saw heaps of thread before.... :)

  2. If stock and aftermarket are just $100 - $200 different per item, I just thought of having slotted or cross drilled instead of direct replacements for a change.

    Good for the looks too. :P

    dont go cross drilled. if you want to replace your rotors with stock or similar then slotted just gives that slight of a better stopping power and less heat.

  3. Haha. Lots of love, my man. :P

    With using different discs/pads with Brembo calipers, I want to do Brembo brakes conversion on an auto V35 coupe, plus it will look good with red brake calipers & gold rims on white car. :D

    In saying that, anybody knows if there is going to be issues if I go ahead and use different discs/pads with Brembo calipers?

    the brembos on vs arent red they are gold. so are the 350z. if your looking for red then aftermarket ones will cost in excess of $5k

  4. Hi everyone,

    My brake discs and pads are getting changed in next service (96,000kms or 3 months time) and thought of changing to Brembo's or aftermarket's instead of stock ones.

    I just want to know how you feel about them and the price. I am looking at spending about $1000 - $1500.

    Any suggestions and experiences are much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    hey victor, for the price range your looking at brembos will have to be out of the question. you may be able to find one eg calipers etc but the dics or pads will prob be worn at that price. why not pm rs73? those rdas and greenstuff arent that bad and willl cost less than $1k. if you cant change them yourself, allow $250-$350 for installation.

    edit/ also ive read somewhere before that the difference between the brembos and stock brakes isnt that massive. brembos are slightly better. if you're going to head to high hps/kws and taking it to the tracks then brembos or other aftermarket bbk is a must...however = more $. if you can find the new akebono? v36 brakes then that'll be awesome as ive heard good reviews about them.

    either way if your cars just for a daily/w.e car then i suggest buying one of rianto.
