Guys, I've just been having a chat to Hyper-Tech in Nunawading - they make the CSC brake kits... If you're interested they have a special on 4 piston CSC brake kits for GTR with 355 x 32mm two piece discs for $2200. The engineer is an ex-Harrop lead developer. I am waiting for some more info on them, so will post something up when I hear.

Umm... you guys don't think that he might be reading this thread?? :confused:

That's mine.

Another Aussie GTR - nice Free Bump!

Second that I'll have one

sorry mate, not having a go at you directly. Just sick of people chiming in about some things they aren't experts in. I've edited the post, didn't mean to be rude

"doubled" - *have you built any engines - yourself - not a workshop? *are you an engineer or metallurgist - are you factually stating block strength results of empirical tests or 'seat of the pants' / 'gut feel' type evidence? *14L truck engines do not produce much power, as they do not operate at high RPM. Note the requirement for trucks is torque to move the mass, not power *the car R31Nismoid is talking about is empirical / physical evidence that a fully built RB26/31 is capable of long term, high stress (track work) use

Sorry mate, couldn't help myself... I am a bad man Edit - Morning session for Troy - 1:36.13

It's not chassis FLEX it is an illustration of rigidity

It's actually a case of your chassis being VERY stiff and NOT deflecting. This is a *good* thing (I'll get back to this later). The fact that your chassis is welded and has a bolt in roll cage means that the torsional rigidity of your car is significantly improved. Thus, it takes much more twisting motion to flex the body. An illustration of this is, when you jack a car up at one corner, the windows and doors tend not to fit quite right. However, when, if you've got your car jacked up at one corner, the doors *may* open and close properly. ie. stiff chassis = good for maintaining suspension geometry and thus handling. The *good* thing that the wheel is in the air now... It is good because it illustrates that your chassis has been reinforced well. However, it also illustrates that your shockers, at full extension, are significantly shorter than the factory stuff (same as my car). What this means is that, the shock length is shorter and thus the 'droop' that the wheel had drop to is shorter than the original factory suspension. An example of this is when you see a 4WD with very long travel shocks / springs climbing rocks that can articulate the left front wheel entirely within a guard and the right rear wheel at full extension that leaves a wheel to guard clearance of 50-100cms (see below pic) So all it means is that you'll lift wheels when getting into / out of driveways etc, you'll notice that Porsche GT3 RS's do it too... So, if you've bothered to read this far, this is a good thing.

1:28.54 ...hang on, actually I made that up... sorry. I don't have the results at work

SAU is not an auction - use ebay if you want to do that. I will offer you $20.

If you're going to cheat, do it properly! I was actually considering grabbing the GTR 17's from 2.06L Stacey... But damn i love volks...

Troy arvo sessions, in decreasing order (not running order) - 1:30.64 / 1:32.37 / 1:32.65 / 1:33.20 They were all your times in the 1:30's in the arvo

Holden Commodore SS - 1:28.32

Times are out got posted out today

You mean like this?

Well, was a squeeze but got them in there

These be Enkei's

idiot.

Hey Lucien, have you got them yet? What size tyre are you running? 265/35/18? Have you got a pic of the "Mercury Silver" finish? I am looking at a set of "special edition" GTR only coloured gun metal TE37s... are they the same thing or is the "Mercury Silver" an almost dark mirrored look? cheers edit: I think the left one is the Mercury Silver, the right one is gun metal

Nope, Nissan-san spec Sumitomo MONSTAHs I hate no brakes

Troy, awesome looking car - love the colour! Hope to see it a ta cruise some time

Nice one Kim! So did you have to return it to stock for compliance? PS post some pics!!!

Hey Al, Castrol SRF was in mine on Sunday and still cooked 'em :Oops: I was running Endless CC-X ceramic carbon pads, and Nismo braided lines with Cusco brake cylinder stopper. Last time out at sandown was running RB74s and cooked them too, with Motul 5.1 fluid. I believe that I have done as much as possible with the existing brake setup, and that my brake issues stem from the tiny disk so will have to look at alternatives Yeah, Troy, why did Troy get towed off?? Didn't tell me that part did you?
