Too late then.... I've got my eye on another one that I'm going to see for the second time this weekend. I've waited for your photos for 2 weeks now... Can't be that hard to get someone to take some snapshots for you

Oh, and this track bitch still has its wheels pointing in different directions, so there are still some things to do tomorrow morning. Hopefully they'll still let me on the track if I miss the morning scrutineering session It's going to be about zero degrees at 8am anyway. Way too cold to be standing trackside. I'll arrive after the sun comes out

Dude... Where are the photos of the GC?!

BUT I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP!!!!

Brilliant... Thanks heaps for that feedback mate! Yeah, I used DS3000s in a previous GTR which I also gifted with CP5555 pistons, and they did wear out quite quickly. I've heard good things about Hawk HT10 pads as well... I'm not planning on leaving that early mate I'll leave at about 7:30am I think... No rush to get there

Yah, Strap Drive is an AP Racing innovation... Supposedly cheaper than the traditional Bobbin Head fixtures, but as I mentioned, more suited to road applications than high temperature track/race applications. I'm no race engineer, and I can only really go by what I'm told... Which is why I seek out multiple opinions and reconcile data to make sure people aren't feeding me bullsh1t But it isn't a foolproof method, so I'm more than open to what people on SAU think! Using Ferrodo DS3000 front and rear at the moment... I'm sure that I'll be massively rear biased at it stands, so will play with pad setup and brake bias to fix it.

They are floating discs... Strap drives are for road cars. They can result in warping when subjected to high temperatures... Bobbin heads are much more suited to race applications, going by the many brake specialists who I spoke to...

356mm front, 343mm rears... Ben: I'll take some decent pics of the wheels tomorrow... Had LOTS of requests for them, but haven't really had an opportunity to take any.

Teaser Front discs: Rear discs:

............ and this is why I didn't post the power figure

Stock engine, stock rev limiter

Crazy stuff!

This man speaks the troof!!!

I'm just running silly Federal tyres... Car is still being developed, I'll just be puttering around the track, checking temps, bedding in the brakes, etc etc... Basically making sure that nothing falls off the car For everyone who wants to know what power the car is making... Come on!! You're pretty intelligent peeps, I'm sure you can take a pretty good guess I've posted EVERYTHING that went on the car in this thread Here's a summary - Stock engine, GT-SS turbos.

Had to detune it to give you a chance, you patsy! Steve-o: I'm not into quoting power figures.... I'll let the laptimes do the talking. I hope a 200rwkw GTR doesn't beat your 400rwkw one!

Mmmm... Nice power curve! All on a stock engine!!!

I have driven a Q7, and those things are fantastic cars... But if the Q5 is anything like the sh1tty X3 was to the awesome X5, stay away

It would unbalance and weaken the crank.

I think I'll be doing my shakedown in rwd mode too, just so I can do ful sik skidz like my mate Fatness

Running a Ross Tuffbond balancer on my current engine, will see how it goes. I'll be selling this current engine complete, so will be building a brand new engine from scratch once I replenish my party fund...

Me too Daz... I'm interested in seeing how much a dry sump will cost me

Tokyomart in Northbridge. That place is like heaven for those struck down with yellow-fever
