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'll get one of these also just for giggles
    • I bought 6 new spark plugs to compare readings. They will be here tomorrow and ill see if meter is far off if it all. I know one is at least reading 0 so its best replace all anyway if one is bad, from experience. I still have to test the harness just to be sure its not a double issue and I waste my time haha-the old plugs are iridium I always thought those lasted more than 50,000 km.
    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
