Well I finally have got around to posting some pics of my new wheels and the Night Pager BBK that I installed. Firts about the brakes.

I used some original Night Pager brakets, with 350Z track pack slotted Brembo rotors ( 13.1" x about 1.25" thick), 300zx aluminum 4 piston calipers with Hawk HPS pads, and Earls DOT SSbrake lines. I had a spacer ring machined to center the rotor on the mk3 hub. The brakes are a phenominal improvement over the stock brakes. The pedal feel is perfect with a tiny bit more travel needed to engage the brakes. It is easy to modulate, and it responds great without locking up easilly. I have not been able to make these things fade compared to the slotted brembo's and KVR pads I hads on the stock setup, even with a day of hard autocrossing. They stop great from 100+ mph without any shake, shimmy or fade.

The specs for the centering ring needed for the 350Z track rotors, the outside diameter is 2.65" ,the inside diameter is 2.40" and the thickness of the ring is 1/4".

The wheels I got were the 3 piece Bronze SSR D5R with polished lip.The front size is 18x8.5 with a +30 offset with 245/40/28 Kumho MX tires, which brings the wheel edge out exactly flush with the fender edge, when viewed from the top. The rears are 18x10" with a +45mm offset, and a 275/35/18 Kumho MX tire.

The kit is just a pair of bolt on brackets and a few bolts, you just need to find your own calipers, pads and rotors, I was able to use stock replacement Earls SS brake lines , so I assume stock lines will work too.

The specs for the centering ring needed for the 350Z track rotors, the outside diameter is 2.65" ,the inside diameter is 2.40" and the thickness of the ring is 1/4".
