We got the front brakes apart on the truck and they will ship the cores to M Series Rebuild and then they will ship us the front disk kit. I put the seat cover on too and put an original shift knob on, at least I did something else!

We did the brakes on the TSX, wow they are creamy now, like. He ordered some rear rotors too, those are Akebono like the pads, the from pads are not the same, those are EBC and are slightly slotted. The brakes feel really good now.

Down at the shop, first their old timer helper friend’s truck. He know about all the old stuff, including my truck. This is his surf wagon and motorized bike with old fire extinguishers as fuel tanks:

Around the shop :

He got rid of the older grey Boxter and found this two year newer S, 6 speed and 50 more HP. It’s much nicer. The one Z that says Scarab was a V8 swapper back in the day.

Glad the brakes worked for you! I know what I’ll be getting when I need them. Your pal has a real col shop too, lots of Datsuns.

He specializes in Zs, he and his brother worked at a Nissan shop when they were learning. Yeah the Akebono stuff is great he says. I wanted some venting for the fronts. In any case they feel butter smooth.
