Mike H is a Bay Area professional and car guy owning some very cool vintage rides. He has been a Z Car Garage customer since he purchased this 2004 350z and shortly after we met in 2008 it came in for a supercharger.

 

Mike’s Z is a Track model with Brembo brakes behind those slick forged Rays wheels. Over the years Mike had outgrown the brakes and waante to upgrade to the 13″ Stoptech Big-Brake kit. This is a popular, effective upgrade for Z33s that have more power over stock and/or see regular track duty.

 

Here is the 13″ Stoptech BBK with red calipers and slotted rotors:

The rear, OEM Brembo calipers were treated to Stoptech Aero rotors, to replacing the heavy stock units:

 

The Stoptech kit fits perfectly behind the Rays wheels:

  
 

We see this Z once a year so we performed a few routine maintenance items like an oil change and general inspection. Mike’s Z has been running strong even after supercharging over 60k miles ago!
