An Akebono Big Brake Kit for a V35, V37, 350Z or 370Z - kit includes front & rear Akebono calipers (4 pot / 2 pot), alloy caliper mounting brackets & bolts (required for V35 / 350Z), front & rear slotted stoptech rotors, front & rear stoptech street pads with plenty of life, front & rear EBC Yellowstuff track pads with plenty of life, and front & rear braided brake lines. The calipers are red powder-coated with Nissan badging (they are also available with Infinity badging - but mine are Nissan). New replacement price on these components is around $2500 - (BBK with street pads $2000 delivered, Yellowstuff F&R pads $400, Braided lines $120). I only got to use these brakes at Malalla once, but they were fantastic, allowing much later braking and no fade at all after 6 or more hot laps. Note that the front calipers have had a very small amount of alloy removed to fit under stock 18" rims, and the bare area was then repainted with red high-temp brake pain. These brakes also look fantastic on the car - the rotors are massive. I am after $1500 for the lot, plus shipping.

A pair of hydraulic struts for a 350GT (actually they are 350Z ones but also fit a 350GT) - $50 plus postage. They are about 6 months old, and include all parts needed to install. Installation takes a couple of minutes per side.

A single Whiteline front lower control arm to shock bush (not a pair, just 1 bush to fit 1 side of the car - long story) - part number is W52992 (but only half the kit...) $20 plus postage

Not sure what a GT8 is - if the bonnet hinges are the same as a 350GT coupe they should fit. The struts attach to one of the hinge bolts on the bonnet, and the other end has a ball-headed bolt that replaces one of the front guard mounting bolts on each side. I can get you the extended strut length if you want to measure it on your car.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
