FINALLY !!!!! I got a package today containing my brake upgrade !! Ok, so it`s only the calipers for now, discs I have from racing days but bells will now have to be made..

Once the brakes are complete I will give her a tentative run around Zwartkops.. 8)

These are all 4pot Brembo Mono blocks which I prefer to the usual side bolted jobbies.
From a Porsche something or another.
The rears are also 4 pot but sized appropriately for use on the rear .The fronts are just humungus mothers !!

Not really...It`s who you know in life that makes things easier... :wink: There is a blue Porsche Turbo in the shop that has extensive rust under the battery tray . Unfortunately the left side torsion mount is also under this area. I am fixing this in lue of the brake calipers for the client. :!:

Yo BK
sorry for the late reply, thanx for letting me feel her again.
im more inlove with her now.
i must say you showing her the respect and giving her the treatment she deserves.
She looks the same but it doesnt feel the same, I like the ride very precise and its remarkably responsive at altitude.
car look amazing and i love the subtle changes.

i enjoyed the visit and i must say you have a stunning workshop with lots of toys, esp the Datsun 120Y.
Then the alfas and then the imports s14.
Enjoy see you again!

Latest update.....no, not yet, only more suspension stuff...I am almost done with the complete suspension. Car is a rocket, handles brilliantly although it will only confirm this all at the track.

front setup so far..

and the rear.
Guys, you want the best out of your Nissan S chassis ? Do the suspension ! Period. You will not regret it at all !
