Anyone Going To Calder Tonight?

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+ . 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

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

True....

There are also cheaper alternatives (compared to AP Racing), that are better than the factory GTR Brembos.

Damn that shit was cold last night!

Spoke to Al

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!
