I heard that a EVO owner who will remain nameless the last time he seen your car take off he turned to the person next to him and goes "now we are in trouble"

So go Giant stick it to 2 the EVO`s

What brakes you running??

Weren't hapy with the AP's???

we were having issues with brake vacum loss, & needed to get rid of the vacum booster to get a consistent pedal feel( i actually crashed with no brakes late last year)

a pedal box lets you get rid of the booster and allows for greater adjustment in all areas and gives great feed back through the pedals on braking along with brake bias adjusments.

attached is a pic of the unit fitted.

Hopefully you won't have a repeat of that hey Russ. Was the vacum loss basically causing the ABS to play up (which is an issue I seem to get on and off) or was it more of a pedal pressure loss problem?

Anyways regadless it will be good to see you guys out in it again. Although when are you guys going to unvail the R33 mate?

I love my EVO`s to it just that one of my mates has got one so i need bragging right :rant:

ugh i didnt know it was that black gtr that crashed, i remember watching it at the nsw round last year, clutch in, select's first gear, bang car jaults forwards. ugh such a tough car. i think you ran something like a 10.6 odd with hell old semi's... my mate at work will be there in theyre new evo 9... sock it to him!

Belsil80 the brake pedal when properly setup is firm but has a really great feel to it(so far!!) can lock all four easily if required.

evo cam's car is a weapon thats for sure & it's going to be good to race with him and have some fun too aas that evo is only going to get better.

roy the r33 is slowly getting there hopefully by march it should be up and running everything is pretty much done now except the block which is happening now. we are hoping for a nine second pass on the 1/4 for it's first outing but we will see soon enough. how's your machine going & will ya be at the nsw dutton??

cheers russ

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
