Location is springvale south 3172 Melbourne. Will post at buyers expense. Heres some pics and measurements. Rotors are around 29.2mm, min thickness is 28mm. Enough meat for a skim and some more good use. Pads are around 14.15mm which is pretty much new thickness for them. Pm or text on 0402294740 if interested.

R32/33 324mm brake upgrade kit. Will also suit s13/14/15 using r33 gtst callipers. HFM calliper adaptors with 8.8 grade bolts (used in vgc) RDA Plain 324mm rotors (used, will most probably require a skim) QFM A1RM DB1170 pads (99.9% brand new, used for a couple of days on the street before i upgraded my brake system.) Works well as an entry level upgrade and provides some decent repeatable stopping power. $240 for the whole lot. Will take some measurements and decent pics of everything tomorrow.

Stop being a homophobe and do it.

Any updates Richo? Haven't seen this thing out there for a while.

Aren't you already running nistune? Just get the latest feature pack with flex option, add sensor and then tune for e85. Your maps for 98 are already there. Your additional cost will be the feature pack and sensor, sensor should be under 200, not sure on feature pack. Dosepipe could probably quote you for those. Just thinking out loud. Dedicated E85 wouldn't be too bad anyways. If you go that way, make sure you save your 98 maps, so you can switch back if needed/required.

Yep, one more mod. E85, 300rwkw will help sell, increase value of the car, i am guilty of telling those things to my wife too[emoji6]. The truth is, a stockish car at a low price is the easiest to sell. Good to hear you're keeping and going to enjoy it a while longer[emoji106] So are you thinking flexfuel? I would strongly recommend it for the added flexibility and never having to worry about not being able to get fuel. Sent from my A1601 using SAU Community mobile app

I run a dw340 in mine, is fine for 310rwkw and has been going for around 18 months without issue. Good if your worried about current draw or fuel heating. Bad side is they are pricey for what they are and you could probably get a walbro 460 cheaper. I managed to get my dw cheap which is why it was an easy decision for me. The walbro 255 will handle e85 although not recommended but isn't big enough for the task. Scotty has been running a pair on his vq25 stagea for years now. Does this mean you're now keeping your car?

This is weird, i would put it down to being a greg issue. Unfortunately, i don't think I'm going to be much help here. Good luck with figuring out what voodoo is happening [emoji106]

Could the noise possibly be the iacv or cold start valve doing its thing on start up? Mine makes some pretty weird noises from there until its up to temp. Edit, after re reading your updated post with additional info. Unlikely to be what i suggested.

You kents are cooked, 2 speed glide is where it's at[emoji6]

Skid vids not loading...

Nice, looks like you chopped every commo there, lol.

Rnd 1 25th feb, Rnd 2 4th feb? U may want to fix that[emoji12]

Walbro 255 Around $100. 1400 left over for coke and hookers[emoji106]

That is the iacv, adjusts idle rpm to meet the target your ecu has set. They do make buzzing noises under certain conditions. You can drive without it. The world will not end. Ps where's my eye fillet? Still waiting..

Thanks JC[emoji106] im glad they didn't turn out to be an expensive mistake. I think i can further improve them with some better ducting and I'm probably going to cut out most of the rotor backing plate shields to try and keep the brake temps under control and the pads cooler and happier.

Cheer up sunshine, you're on the home stretch now. You just gotta keep it together a little longer[emoji12]

2 of the big ones [emoji12]

Update on Sandown, the day got off to a troublesome start, was getting misfire between 5-6k rpm, didn't properly sort it till after lunch with a combination of new plugs, gap change and boost duty cycle changes. By the time everything was going good, the track temp was a bit high and greasy. There was a number of cars that went off and made contact with Sandowns walls. Ouch. I managed to put in my best lap after lunch and ended up with a 1.23.9. Not a pb but happy with another lap in the 23's. So, onto the brakes. The stoptechs performed flawlessly. The bias felt perfect, no lock ups or any funny business. I basically drove like i would have with the stock brakes, it wasn't till towards the end of the day that i realised how much harder i could brake with these. It felt like i could just keep pushing the pedal harder and harder and the car would just pull up. I definitely need more time to adjust to this setup and change my technique and braking markers to take advantage of the extra stopping power. The v2 type d brake pads felt great. I can't really say for sure what the difference felt like as im using a different calliper from before but what i can say is that they didn't give up at all when i strung out 5 hard laps back to back and stopped the car reliably time after time. They do feel like there is a little more bite but otherwise much the same with good progressive feel. They have quietened down now on the street but still not as quiet as the previous version. They look to have held up ok from a wear rate perspective as well. I would say they are a slight improvement on the already very good originals and hard to beat at their price point. The Skytanic itself made it through the day unscathed, other than the misfire early on it was all smooth sailing. Managed to finish 9th quickest overall out of 97 cars. Not a bad effort for a daily driven boat. Highlight of the day was trying to keep up with checkbuzz's r33. Im close but not quite there. Seems like he was able to get out of the final turn on to the straight a lot better than me and that was where i was losing ground. Suppose I need to work on that corner. I haven't bothered with a video yet, not sure that i will but i do have quite a few pics. Here's a few

Funny you say that, can confirm there is some squeeling now on lightish application of the brakes. Will see if they quieten down after a pounding at the track.

Na, tampered on Saturday. As much as i dislike tampered events and really do like the wrx club events, rexmas is untimed and more of a family day thing. I really want to test my new brake setup out, so the choice is clear. For the record, the reason i dislike tampered is because they wont accept cams licences and make you buy their own licence these days + they book in a million cars. I'll wear it this time, just because i want to test the brakes. dream boats.

Got some pads for the stoptechs, thanks to mr @Dose Pipe Sutututuwho pulled some strings and got me a set of the development pads Intima had for the st40 callipers in the new type D V2.0 compound. Not sure what the difference is between v1 and 2, maybe mr dosepipe can chime in and comment. Enter Type D Version 2.0 Will hopefully put the stoptechs and the v2 pads through a torture test this Saturday at Sandown if the weather holds up and see how they stack up compared to the stock sumitomos and v1 pads. Will update with results if it happens.

Please wash your mouth out with soap and refrain from making horrible sensible suggestions in future. Lol.

Considering its internal gate, i think the result isn't too bad at all. If you where to go external off housing or even better, the manifold you would get a fair gain. Since e85 is a no go for you, you could consider water/meth injection. trevz in wa runs it on his 33 and ute i believe, you could get some pointers from him if you wanted to investigate that route.
