Been happy w/ Valvoline Dot4 full synthetic.

 

Thanks brad. I ordered some ate type 200. Ive read numerous posts and it seems to be very suitable for dd and even spirited driving. I have 2 liters coming so I think I'm covered for a complete flush.

 

WoW!!!! Those came out great! I have a local selling his set of a G37 coupe in Pearl Teal...will the coupes Akebonos also work for a G37XS AWD sedan? Is it all the same if its replacing the whole kit...he's selling it all calipers/rotors/pads/SSline...

 

Are you sure they are Illusion Orange? hmm not only we both have gray sedans, with gunmetal? wheels , both named mike, both from NJ, and both rock "illusion orange" bbk? hmm great although your color seems different than my Illusion orange, perhaps there was silver flake added as the top coat making it look more like yellow at certain angles/lighting? which is exactly what happened to the first attempt I got mine powdercoated and I didn't like it, they looked almost like they were faded/yellow/gold at times but not orange.

This is what my Illusion orange BBK looks like



Since I'm already posting here, I'll share a few pictures from my Tail of the dragon run this past Wednesday, May 27th when I was over in TN in Smoky Mountains for a week

A moment of happiness after taming the dragon





Few pictures taken by local photographers camping at certain curves who then post the pictures online available for purchase (print, digital download, cd, etc.)

 

great pics!

What's your wheel set up? It looks amazing! I want one similar

 

Whats up Mike? I hope they are illusion orange. At least that's the color I picked. I know it's a 2 coat color. When I picked them up they are in the box and looked orange. But when I took them out and the light hit them, it lightened up a bit in the orange color range. I don't know if the iPhone pics make them appear yellow, but they don't look yellow in person. Btw your car is sick.

 

Yes, it's a direct bolt up, but you will need to trim the dust shields on yours
here's a link on the install, it's for a Z but it would be the same for your AWD G. You'll also need the 17mm banjo bolts for those Akebono lines.
Install Akebono Big Brake Kit on 370z or 350z

 

Cleaned her up a little today.

 

Not much buddy, where are you located btw?

I had bad experience getting the illusion orange that I wanted with silver flakes that came pre-mixed as a top coat, that totally threw off the color and looked horrible,yellow/faded orange, but the ones I currently have are exactly what I wanted and couldn't be happier yet the pictures you posted definitely don't look like my Illusion orange. Anyways maybe we could meet up one day and compare haha

Thank you, you post some pictures of yours man!

 

Hey Mik3G37S what tail light modification did you do to make the rings light up partial like that? Also what brand window visors are you using

 

Hey all, beautiful cars!

 

Looking great

Nice choice in wheels, and good job setting the drop. Post a review on those D2s when you get some time w/ them in my link below (if you have the time). Thanks!

 

It's custom done by OnEighty in NYC and I'm actually currently selling these tailights, the visors are JDM OEM visors, I got them straight from Japan from the guys at Japan Auction Parts on facebook

 

I'm in west orange. I'm always down to meet up and compare. They are going on the car this sat.
