$154 isn't that much considering the brakes tend to wear less rapidly when you have so much excess stopping power. Also, you would get 1, maybe even 2 machines out of the discs before they were below min thickness, so that dollar cost is spread over a lot of brake pad replacements.

But yeah, getting any of this work done in the ACT always seems to be a rort.

That's cheaper than a set of rotors for most new cars. My Mum's Renault is something like $250 a rotor.

Well, the whole point of the 260z is that being an 32 yo jap s--tbox, the parts are cheap and readily available. You are comparing to a new, french vehicle. If I have to fork out mega bucks to maintain the dato, it defeats the whole purpose of owning a dato.

haha time to fk that expensive datsun off and get a 120Y

Hah, I'm not that concerned about it, and obviously I'm happy to have a 21 mm sway up front as opposed to 18. Should be able to track down a nolathane bush, even one for a 280 would work.

Hey are you usually home weeknights, I need to swing 'round and pick up those brakes!

Having the zed with it's nose in the air and front wheels off really helped me visualise what I need to do on this front brake upgrade.
