$550?

I have asked for more info about the calipers. As best I can tell from the photos they looks to be Forged Superlite calipers. These calipers are all 4 pot calipers, take a 330mm rotor and can range in piston area quite a bit. http://www.wilwood.com/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Forged Superlite://http://www.wilwood.com/CaliperList....orged Superlite The calipers with the 1.62" pistons would have a piston surface area similar to Brembo f40 calipers (53cm squared). Anything above that would put out the bias of the brakes by quite a bit. The small 1.38" calipers would probably have a piston area too small (38.5cm squared). This is just best guess as far as I can tell. I will update once I am given some definite info.

I have purchased other items from this seller and had no hassle at all so I have no reason to doubt them. Now is also looking to be a good time to buy as our dollar is pretty good against the pound. Would be interesting to see how they compared to the GTR brembos.

I was digging around on the UK ebay and found a decent looking big brake kit. Has anybody used this kit or similar calipers before. For that price delivered they are cheaper than G4/D2 brakes. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Great to know once again thanks for the info .

Thanks for the replies much appreciated but like always one question leads to another. Do you ream/hone them to the service manual specs? I didn't find anything regarding this on the supertech site. Thanks

Hey all, Looking at running 1mm oversized valves and I realise this can be an issue if you are running greater lift. I have looked at a number of forged pistons and the only off the shelf pistons I can find that specify can be run with 1mm oversized valves is CP pistons. Having said that from the images they don't appear to be scaloped. How much lift and cam timing can you run before 1mm oversized valves makes contact with the piston in a standard engine? Also which pistons are suitable to use with oversized valves. Thanks

Hey all, I am changing over my valve guides to supertech bronze valve guides. Does anybody know if these guides have to be reamed? On the packaging it says they do however the machine shop I talked to said they almost never ream a guide that is for a specific valve only if it is a custom fit. The packaging saying it needs reaming. Is this only to cover supertech incase there is a defect in one of their guides and it isn't a consistant size? Supertech part numbers GDE-NSR6-I on the intake and GDE-NSR7-E on the exhaust. I am going to get the machine shop to check the clearance anyway but just wanted to find out what is the go as I don't want to get charged if it does not need to be done. Thanks

Will you accept a trade for full tank of fuel I had last week? Only done 550km on it.

Hey all, Anybody know how to tell the difference between R33 gtr dumps and R32 gtr dumps? Just pulled off my turbos and found they are R33 N1 turbos but can't find anything to identify if they dumps are R32 or R33 dumps. Cheers

Yeah but when they pull down your motor in years to come they will know you are hardcore.

Thanks for the feedback Cheers

Another concern I had was going from 2 standard O2 sensors to 1. I know on V6 and V8s they run 2 but this would be because they have dual exhausts where as the GTR has 2 outlets that merge. Is there any advantage on the GTR to running 2 O2 sensors? From what I understand the standard O2 sensors cost about $150 each and should be replaced every 40k. For $300 wouldn't you be better off getting the LC-1 and gauge. It is a bit more work initially to get your front pipe modified but after that isn't this a more ecconomical and superior setup? Please correct me if I am misguided I just can't figure out why anybody would bother replacing their standard O2 sensors if for a fraction more and a bit of work they can have a superior setup that will be cheaper and probably less problematic in the long run. Thanks

I was under the impression the LC-1 was able to output a narrow band output. The powerFC will not be able to use a wideband without the datalogit. I was planning on using this output to still drive the powerFC so it still has closed loop mode. While using the wideband to drive a AFR gauge and hooking up to a computer while tuning the powerFC. I guess what I was asking is wouldn't it be better to use the LC-1 as a wideband to narrowband converter rather than use the 2 standard O2 sensors that way you would only be really running 1 O2 sensor instead of 3. Cheers

Hey all, Has anybody had experience with using an LC-1 wb O2 sensor with a power FC? I don't have a datalogit though this might happen in the future. I know that with the datalogit you can connect the LC-1 to the Power FC. But without it what is the best practice? I assume since you only have the 1 wb sensor you would plumb it into the front pipe after the 2 pipes merge. Leave the standard NB O2 sensors in place but unplug them and use the analogue outputs from the LC-1 to drive the O2 inputs? Sound about right? Thanks
