So Ash 7in wide rim is better than 9in wide?? BS!!!! :)

Read my post: I simply stated that if soeone was going to buy rims, 17x9 is better than 16x7. The 17in rims would also be a better "all rounder", as also stated in my post.

Brembo upgrade: Find someone selling a set of Brembos from a GTR and fit them to your car ;). Troy (Username:Roy) had informed me that R34 Brembo mounting are slightly different to R33, so you'll probably need to find 34GTR brakes, which can be pricey, $2200+ :D. At this price you're probably better off spending a little more and getting the AP Racing brakes.

Have you done anything to your current brakes?

- Fluid: Castrol SRF or Motul (not sure what model)

- Brake pads: i currently use RB74's from Race Brakes: http://www.racebrakes.com.au/html/vic.html

- Upgraded Rotors: DBA4000, there is currently a group buy on these forums, or they can also be purchased from Race Brakes.

- Braided Brake Lines: Maltech: http://www.maltech.com.au/home.html

These, when combined, will DRASTICALLY improve your braking :P

"a little more"? :) AP racing front kit is around $5k including pads, lines, etc. hehe I don't see that as a little more.

Damn that shit was cold last night!

Spoke to Al :P

As for skylines, there was about 3-4 R33's, a black 32, and an R31 or 2...

1 of the 33's was consistently in the 12's, with the others doing 13's and low 14's.

a total lack of hektik VL's which was a surprise, but there was 1 or 2 doing 11's and 12's, and another doing 17's consistently :...

then of course there's the crazy escorts, toranas, old monaros and GT's etc.....all doing anything from 9's to 11's...

The cops from the drag right scheme were there...the VX was running mid 12's (VERY VERY loud for a 12 second car...) and was happy to see it get wasted by the stock looking f6 running 12 flats all night!

So what time did Tough34 run?
SORRY guys i didnt make it, i had my alarm getting installed today and as always nothing gets done on time.

i was shattered and i still have to wait untill tuesday for the alarm.

he didnt go

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
