Alxmlr789 well that is fast car modding if you ask me. Looks very nice!
I will be getting my differential fluid replaced and I wanted to ask you guys for the exact part number for Motul differential fluid and where can I order it from, also a brake pad change is coming up and I'm thinking to go with Hawk HPS pads, any pros and cons and what's the best place to get them for the best price?

I'm running the nismo r-spec pads and they have similar characteristics--good initial bite and fade resistance, low noise, work good cold and dust more than stock.
Dont forget to bleed your brake fluid

Kevin, does the clutch pedal feel any different now that you have the Z1 CSC installed?

A quarter past stripped
I've used HPS pads on 3 different cars. They have good initial bite and fade resistance, but they are dusty. If you track your car, you should probably get something more aggressive.

At $500 I'd pass, at $200 they are a good value. Car & Driver put them on a 370z and shaved a car length off the 70-0 brake test.
In other news, I'm at Costco getting PSS mounted and balanced

Now that i'm spec, i've gotta raise the passenger side, so i'l be getting it aligned again after i make some adjustments. I've gotta switch up tire sizes in the front, going from a 225/35/20 to a 245/35/20 to be safe. The roads here are not great and there is just not enough protection with the 225's. Love the stretched look but on a daily driver it's just not sustainable.

I've got almost 21K on the OEM pads right now, so I figure in two more years, three tops. But yeah, pad and rotor replacements for my BBK are way off in the distance. Along with that will be painting the calipers. Made that decision this summer after looking hard at the mod.

Definitely looking forward to your caliper project, it'll be another Rochester FTW!

I was never really excited about caliper painting (notwithstanding the amazing work that JPSBLACKG37 does), until I saw tonyHTX's pictures of the Akebono setup in Acura Rio Pearl Yellow. That really grabbed my by the short hairs and got my attention. I did some local research on shops, cost and different approaches to the project. And then I put the whole idea back on the shelf, realizing that 3+ year old, OEM rotors would compromise the look.
And as much as I like that Rio Pearl Yellow, I'm also very much considering a bronze color, instead. Neither yellow nor gold nor orange... bronze.
