Nigel Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Glad to hear there's still interest! I've been so preoccupied with real work that I haven't had time to give much thought to doing another run, but it is on my mind. I'll try to get something going in the near future. Any more feedback from the first group buy? Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Sometimes lack of feedback = lazy customers? Fixed it for you. I'm making slow progress on the Z but as soon as it's back no the road, those brakes are going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EF Ian Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I put better pads in mine today replacing the cheapo budget pads, performance is even better now, will likely have to turn down the rear bias in the wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Still no track time on the car since the install. Probably have a few thousand miles of street driving now and it has all worked flawlessly. Great kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takayuki Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Finally got to test this brake setup from Nigel. I'm happy to report that it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100nu Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Do another run soon! Just got my first Z and needs brake ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR280z Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Shopping for a brake upgrade at this moment. Are you still in the run?? Edited July 19, 2015 by PR280z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calpoly-z Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Fixed it for you. I'm making slow progress on the Z but as soon as it's back no the road, those brakes are going on! Lazy is right...Especially when it comes to online reviews. Suppose I can throw in my experience with this kit now. I've got about 50 miles on these brakes now. I am yet to stress them much at all short of a little driving around the neighborhood trying to lock up my tires to get the bias ballparked. Front brakes are the bolt on Toyota 4 pot without the vented rotors currently. Seems silly to have these massive rear rotors in comparison to the fronts, but that just means I need a front brake upgrade, right??!! So far I've been very pleased. Pedal feels great, and the car stops well. Can't wait for the weather to drop back below hundred in a couple months so I can actually start driving the car on a regular basis... The only complaint I can come up with at the moment is that the parking brake (which works well mind you) requires a lot more throw to engage than the stock one (which only took about 3-4 clicks) even after me tightening it up. I cant seem to get it less than 8-10 clicks before full engagement. Not a huge deal as I'm thrilled to have a new cable and functional parking brake, where many of the other kits required eliminating it or going with some workaround that didn't seem very practical or thought out. Installation was fairly straightforward. I used the centering ring and drilled my own holes with a drill press. Ended up having to take a die grinder to a couple of the holes to get everything to fit over wheel studs and the centering ring. Worked out in the end though. I went bottom shelf for the rotors and calipers, since I have no intention (really it's a lack of opportunity...stuck in frickin' West Texas 5 hrs from anywhere...arghh) at the moment to do any track time with the car and I cant complain yet. Rock Auto made the parts purchases very reasonable. All in all, I fully endorse this kit. Way to go Nigel!!!

takayuki Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It takes only 3 or 4 clicks to engage the brakes for me. I have a '74 260z. Maybe different linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EF Ian Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Only 4-6 clicks on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hritz Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hate to bring back an old thread but I was wanting to know if this kit is still available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EF Ian Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Think theres plenty of interest if he decides to do another run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So did anybody end up trying this setup on 15" wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
