Couple small updates, borrowed a pair of rear Brembo single piston calipers from Mike @ Innovative Tuning to use for mock up on my new e-brake setup. I’m setting up a dedicated pair of calipers on the rear rotor for a hydraulic e-brake setup. While the project MU pads functioned well I didn’t care for the position of the stock hand brake lever (even with my extension on it). It just didn’t suit my driving style so I’m doing a dedicated hydraulic setup with the pull lever right next to the steering wheel. ![http://g35driver.com/forums/attachments/brakes/62451d1169919039-fs-4-new-g35-350z-brembo-calipers-pads-pad-hardware-img_0619.jpg](http://g35driver.com/forums/attachments/brakes/62451d1169919039-fs-4-new-g35-350z-brembo-calipers-pads-pad-hardware-img_0619.jpg) ![http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/images/D/d_2391-01.jpg](http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/images/D/d_2391-01.jpg) (Stock photos, Ill have more next week of stuff on my spare hub/spindle being mounted up). ![http://www.mturck.com/350z/Winter09/130_0550.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/350z/Winter09/130_0550.jpg) Also, nearly done with bodywork mockup/mounting. Going to pin the hood Monday, need a few small things welded on the chassis for body mounts but that’ll wait till we’re doing the motor mounts and trans mount. ---

Mike, this is all completely nuts! I’m glad to see someone backing up their hopes for the next year though! I remember you talking about this at downsview. Huge congrats on the rookie of the year award! For an event like that, that is pretty good stuff man! Thanks for all the updates, this is wicked to say the least! Theo ---

Thanks guys, I’m extremely excited about this coming season. ![http://www.mturck.com/350z/Winter09/131_0551.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/350z/Winter09/131_0551.jpg) Started working on the dedicated Brembo ebrake setup tonight, should have a final bracket to be manufactured later this week. Don’t mind the discoloration, the stock brembo finish tends to discolor under heavy track use, the final product will have matching calipers hahaha. ---

I’m using a CNC Staging brake, and a spare set of stock brembos but the bracket is my own, and obviously the lines/connectors are specific to my car. ---

Really shitty photo, sorry it’s from my cell phone and then I blurred out the embarrassing mess that is my garage right now. Bodywork is mostly complete. Tomorrow I’ll finish the new aluminum undertray (the last one I saw it’s final use in a trash can at Clubloose after the crash), drill and pin the hood (gotta go grab 2 more hood pins, no hinges for me), and I need to get a pair of plastic clips from Dorschel Nissan which I’ll have by the end of the week (that is why the bumper is sticking out next to the headlights/bottom of the fenders. Hopefully finish it up and go for paint Friday or Monday. I’m targeting March a week from Saturday to put the motor in hopefully, and I’d like to have it fired up a week or so after that. Still need to figure out a generic decently priced aluminum radiator, any suggestions? I have NO mounting requirements whatever is done will be custom it just needs to fit between my frame rails, approx 31 inches. ![http://www.mturck.com/350z/Winter09/350z-front.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/350z/Winter09/350z-front.jpg) The hood is just sitting on the car in that photo, so it’s alignment is slightly off, I’ll tidy it up tomorrow. ---
