well in the past two weeks I have spent $750 on 4 new tires and new back brakes..
so there goes my Hooker Budget for the next few months...
oh well I guess my left hand is going to get some work..

I would, if it wasn't against my religion. Originally Posted by Ebony Jasmine Love Austin

I do love my Toyz... Originally Posted by Toyz

How is the PIMP MOBILE coming?
Is the dash going to have a 12" windshield projection screen with a direct satellite feed of TNN 24/7?
and I think those "Plum Crazy" Purple rotors will look perfect for the application.

If you think you need color matched cross drilled and slotted rotors then read this by Dave Zeckhausen
"Regardless of the price, you don't ever want to cross-drill AND slot a set of rotors. One or the other, but not both. All it does is weaken the rotor, without providing any additional benefit.
For a car which will never be taken to the track, cross-drilled rotors are fine. They give you improved bite, reduced delay of braking in wet conditions, and you save up to 1/4 pound per rotor over plain or slotted. For track use, you should go with slotted. Under race conditions, drilled rotors will crack sooner than plain or slotted rotors. Slotted give you virtually the same improvement in initial bite as drilled, without the propensity to crack under tough conditions."
I know that's not really your car because at $350 for a pair of tires, I'd think you drive something like this "Let's Make a Deal ZonKmobile"

At least the brake tech was true... Originally Posted by RandB fan

I ran the 24 minute vintage race in one of my 73s. I am not impressed with Nissan's new street cars. My old 500E is more fun to drive and out preforms a new 370Z therefore I have absolutely no interest in new Nissan products except the GT-R cars. I'd rather have the twin turbo GT-R over a Hellfire.
Thanks for putting in sooooo much effort to tell me something I already know. The rotors...since you seem so interested....are mostly for ego than performance. I had drilled rotors installed on my last one and liked the way they LOOKED although they were a bit louder under hard braking. but seriously, how often do we get into hard braking situations?
As to "they may crack" because the integrity of the rotor is somewhat compromised when you drill holes in them. If they crack? I'll buy more....
No the dash is a carbon fiber overlay...no reason other than I liked the look.
I do like the pictures, is that a 350z or a 370z? Looks stock except for the rims...looks like stock rotors.Nice performance bare bones sports car...not very comfortable behind the wheel, but does have some pep & holds on in the twisties... Originally Posted by Toyz

Yeah, probably was a wise decision.
Toyz, they're making some pretty cool faux-carbon fiber on vinyl; 3M, especially. It's easier to apply around the bends/curves if you heat it with a hair dryer/ (heat gun, if you're careful).
They didn't have anything like that when I did mine.
