  2. The next day after a great night in Adenau we set off for the track at 10.30am allowing for the damp patches through the forest section to clear, after checking tyres pressures and oil and cameras on I got out onto the track through the barrier at 11.30am. Now I've used the car on the roads with the Torqen R coilovers SPL suspension and big brake kit from Adrian but not really pushed it so I decided to build up speed and let the tyres warm up, but the first tight bend after the start straight I knew the car was planted and the brakes just unbelievable, two miles in to the track and I started pushing really hard I realised it was money well spent The car is now a totally different animal, giving me the confidence to go into corners faster knowing the brakes haul me up with hardly an fading (a big issue last year with the standard Akebono's) The coilovers and SPL suspension set up is just unbelievable, the car is now a track hooligan and on the third lap after pushing a bit too hard it broke away coming into Brunchen but the Racelogic system set at 10% dragged me back into line (time to calm down I think) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Well made it back from the Ring in one piece and still buzzing!!! We set off last Friday morning at 2.30am from Stoke, my Zed, my mate Dave's roadster Zed and our Transit crew bus full of kit. After a Macdonalds early morning break at Clackets Lane Services we arrived at the Eurotunnel at 7.30am and boarded the 8.10am crossing We arrived in France and filled up with fuel and set off towards Belgium just once getting stuck in traffic and then on to Germany We took our time and got to Nurburg at 3.00pm and booked in to our lodge and all piled in the van for the obligatory supermarket run for the weekends food and 10 crates of the local Bitburger and Erdinger lager Those of you that have been to the ring will know that the Aldi supermarket backs on to the track and loading up in the car park we heard cars hammering around the track!!! They had opened it for two hours, 5.00pm until 7.00pm, it was 6.15pm, too late to go and get the cars but we were only minutes away with the van so crates and shopping in the back off we went and here we are six of us shopping and all Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Looks the Business Nino,a lot of time and effort well done mate!!.....Oh and mind those kerbs
  5. Thanks Nic, looking forward to it. When's your Supercharged beast back, can't be long now?
  6. It's like a completely different car now, not too hard for everyday use but the handling is totally transformed, so precise and accurate and the brakes after a few hours use are pretty amazing. They will certainly keep the supercharged power in check. Oh and we're off to the Nurburgring on Friday so we will see just how transformed the handling is from last year
  7. Looking to upgrade my car in many areas, brakes before engine. So I'm after a complete big brake kit upgrade. I know there's quite a few out there, k sport, bbk, will wood, torquen. Has anyone had any experience with an upgrade on the 350z in terms of reliability, stopping power, maintainibility, cost and fitments? Budget can go up to 2.5k as I've seen the Torquen section on here but just wanting to get as much information as possible before I buy!! Cheers I might be selling the Akebono calipers and pads from my car if you're interested pm me
  8. Yes that's fine, they're probably all made in the same factory anyway, just assuring the OP if he went for the Torqens
  9. I've been a mechanical engineer for over 30 years and I can assure you the quality of the brakes I have purchased is as good as any I've seen and at an excellent price as well They come with a two year guarantee too. For what I need (weekend and occasional track car) they look good enough for me when the Supercharger goes on
  10. I've had the monster front and rear brake kit from Torqen and the quality and stopping power is awesome Money well spent in my opinion
  11. A massive Thankyou to Adrian for personally delivering my car back from RT in Wembley all the way to my home in Stoke on Trent. Cheers mate aboveandbeyond.com Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. I filed the switch rather than the housing and it went in nicely
  13. I thought the standard brakes were good Nic but these beasts are in a different league Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Beginning to get the look I want now, I like the look of the Stillen nose cone has anyone had or fitted one? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. Just a close up picture to show the side skirts in carbon look Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
