    Holy thread revival Batman. Market is finally ready to pay what it owes and then some.

    Suspension tuning, weight reduction, aero, brake bias, tyre choice, data management, actually tinkering with the packs etc etc etc Will be ace (as someone who has built a 16s 48v pack + PV setup for home )

    Power Brace back in, not without it's minor issues though. Had to bust out the tap and die set and EVERY bolt and thread needed a clean/chase etc before they wanted to go back in nice. I spent a few minutes wiping some surfaces down, there's some epic oil/dirt combo caked on the cross member in particular. When it's rolling I will have to take it outside and pressure wash it all down properly. Brake ducts removed after our chat here and they were getting in the way, see how we go. Was reminded of an issue I had with swaybar bushes, not the 3m aluminium spacer I have in there. That was used as the bush does not close properly otherwise, I remember doing it in a pinch the night before an event and forgot about it but this seems a bit ghetto now. Bar is 25mm and is either stock or S14 as far as I remember, I do have a whiteline adjustable front sitting there also and an R32 GT-R rear, both of which were removed in favour of this smaller/softer option and stock rear as the car was way too stiff. Maybe on slicks it could work? Next thing to do is set up that fab bench so it's ready to use for the tubs project but this begs a few questions about the order of things. I need/want to replace the body kit/fit bigger flares, tub the front, paint the car (after the cage is done) so I'm just trying to wrap my head around which things first. Experience welcomed, but my thoughts were something like this. - Tub the front - Get the wheels on and a ball park alignment to work out flares/guard cutting requirements then sort that. - Buy body kit, remove old one - Send car to be caged before kit goes on (reduce risk of damage) - Car back, fit bodykit - Prep work then paint Thoughts? Also Dale tells me he's finishing the head today and tomorrow, fingers crossed.

    JUST TAKE IT TO THE TRACK

    Could be wrong washers too as the bolts I have are from an R34 GTT I think, which came with factory washers. I'll get pads and see where I'm at. To be fair, I probs dont need any brake ducts for a sprint style car.

    Wait you're gonna sell the 32 just to get a 33? Wack.

    Had a shed sesh with another NCR dude as he hobbled around on his healing broken leg helping here and there, had a few whiskeys as we went, good times. - Power brace fully complete, brackets welded in nicely I think, minimal clean up needed and quite happy with how this came out. I think these shit all over the Nismo option for strength. Left them hanging to fully cure. Will go back in this week I'd say, hopefully it's all still square.... A mate suggested I should have used weld through primer on the section I tapped and left clear to minimise risk of rust which is great advice, should be OK on this car anyway given it'll see minimal water but still good advice. - Finished the M12-M14 job, no issues there. I was ultra conservative, steady pace, light/medium pressure and bulk cutting fluid with lots of breaks. The nicest I have ever been on a bit and it looks mint still, then my neighbour comes over (the one who runs the distillery) and tells me has 3 of these on hand I could have grabbed... lol I note the caliper runs pretty close to the disc on the outer side and I'm concerned the caliper has the wrong offset to the rotor, but I wont know fully until the pads go in, hopefully have those in the next week or 2 if what Intima says is accurate. Would you expect the caliper/rotor relationship to be dead set in the middle? I should have taken some pics. - Test fitted rear brakes, the bolts I got are too long, but the washers are very thin. I have thicker washers on hand but may still need to nick a little off the end. On the side I tested the caliper "looked" pretty square to the rotor meaning the brackets I welded on should hopefully be good. - Finally remembered to remove the cut up dust shields fully. In retrospect, having a fully intact set could have been good for modifying to receive brake cooling ducts, what have others done here? I had them cable tied to the LCA's/Hub etc. - Started cleaning up the fab bench and worked out how I'm going to fit it in.

    I'm still shocked it got this far. Have been chatting with John Boston about (Track School) who's business is now basically on hold until something is done.

    That's hot 😍
  14. No Crust Racing
    All perfectly valid

    17x9 might be pushing it or are you saying it already fits? I thought the Evo caliper is larger overall also, It's considered the superior Brembo in this size I think.
  16. No Crust Racing
    The Evo setup isn't too much bigger so I think you'll be OK. Did you go the 350mm rotor option? I can't remember. Did you hit up eBay or some special vinyl brake decals place?

    Well I didn't have emry paper so I just did a Duncan and sent it... slowly... with lots of cutting fluid. One side is now done and it wasn't as bad as I was thinking and the caliper mounts up nicely, still have 1 side to do but was doing this in between coats of paint on the inside of the castor brackets. Left a nice lip for welding also which is the next step then the whole thing can be painted and reinstalled. Brakes look tiny now but there's excellent clearance around the caliper which can only be a good thing. Has any ever tried those ebay high temp caliper vinyls? I was thinking of getting some basic white outline NCR logos for the calipers to give them some flair. Also got some new MTB flats, first time with "proper" shoes. A mate has some new gray laces which should tone them down as he;s keen on the blue ones lol. They sound like Basketball shoes on the floor boards lol they feel really tacky.
