That's the same exact one I have too, definitely recommend it.It has to be "honed" slightly before install. Just take a scotch-brite or some high grit sandpaper and use that. And make sure you replace the belt with a new OEM one while you're at it.

Ordered the Z1 Urethane subframe/diff bushings today since my stock bushing started leaking. Also ordered GT-R clear map light lenses, and an amber LED side marker bulb.

Hoping to have the bushings installed before my first track day on March 31st!!

Alignment/height adjustment scheduled for the 2nd week of March.

Currently shopping for brake components. Have decided on Amsoil Dominator DOT4 high temp fluid, Z1 stainless steel lines, and Z1 2pc rotors. Now to decide on a brake pad which is good for street and light track/auto x use. Any suggestions?

Z1 two-piece rotors... nice. Just the fronts, or all four? The rears are damn expensive.

Pads... I've been planning on Hawk HPS for a while now.

Gonna be doing the front and rears
I feel like I'll regret it if I don't. Hawk HPS is a top contender for me. Hawk HPS, EBC Yellowstuff, and StopTech Sport pads.

Still haven't decided yet, because it's a 2019 thing... but I completely relate to that comment about regrets.

Looking forward to the comments and pics, Z.

I can't say enough good things about EBC NDX Blue pads...I used to run the yellows and they're ok but not good enough for extended use on the track in a car this heavy....I even found the blues to be quieter...the Blues have more track stamina

I have hard good things about Project Mu as well

Finally got the Z1 Poly diff bushing installed along with the Z1 brake lines, StopTech pads, and AMSOIL fluid. Night and day difference with everything, especially the bushings.

Had a issue with the Z1 "premium" lines which utilize the OEM setup with brass fittings/blocks. Definitely don't recommend them because there is a good chance that they will leak and you won't be able to bleed the brakes properly. Save your money and get the one piece brake likes. Either from Z1, StopTech, ZSpeed. All the same. Had to return them to Z1 and now all is well with the one piece.

What were your issues with the brake lines? I have the same ones.

Wow I’m going to have to check on mine, I have no fluid loss but rather check so I don’t crash and die. Lol
