I was looking to purchase some oem brembos when I came across this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Big-Brake-Ki...87d3d7&vxp=mtr

It uses the stock 2006 rotors so I could run a stoptech front and rear rotor kit. I've done alittle research but no real reviews of it. I know its not a factory wilwood kit but it seems like a cheap alternative. Just trying to see what you guys think about it.

Just buy a factory set of brembos for that. That way everything is OEM and you can find replacement parts easily

Just my suggestion....

Quick question for you guys, I'm buying this z tube off kijiji but it doesn't look like the traditional z tube. He said it's from an 07 350z. Question is: will these work? I have an 04 g35 sedan.

Here's the z tube in question:

Those are from an HR motor with two throttle bodies. You have a DE (single throttle body)

This is what you need:

You can get Stillen's Ztube or an OEM for your 1st gen.

the only suggestion I have is if you're going to go with a new intake at least get a full CAI, meaning it snakes all the to the front of the car, a lot of people do short ram with no heat shield and suck in hot engine air. sooo either Z-tube/pop charger(w/ heat shield) combo or a full CAI. from what I hear, the OEM box with a K&N drop in and a Z-Tube is a pretty legit combo as well...

To be honest would have just kept my oem but when i bought the car the oem box was missing a component and right now the box is open and its not concealed. So i figured might as well go with aftermarket. I was thinking with the whole short ram with heat shield, z-tube/pop charger but im not sure which brand is prefer for the G

If you go with a short ram that has a built in MAF opening, be sure to get one that has the "round" opening (specific to doggy door model years). I don't know when this actually changed over (maybe 03.5?) but all others have the rectangular MAF opening.

For reference

Round MAF


Rectangular MAF
