Why increase the braking capacity of a vehicle that is still being driven on the road? You haven't increased the mass that needs to be decelerated (rb20det is going to be less then a passenger's weight difference in mass from the rb30e), nor have you increased the velocity of which you are decelerating from (if you have, you are speeding, and you shouldn't be).

AND, if you are putting yourself into situations on public roads that require better braking capacity then standard. Hurry up and get it over with so that you don't continue to drive on the road.

$3k budget is optimistic, good luck, if you make it with results that haven't already been proven, please take the time to make a detailed post of how you achieved it.

Dsturbd, if you are so adamant about people upgrading brakes before motors.... why do you allow yourself to sell motors to people who haven't?

lol, get off your high horse.

why did you have a 228rwhp r32 then? you don't need 228rwhp to drive around on the street.

ps, go explain your 'theory' to an engineer, they will likely tell you to upgrade your brakes. (much like the ADR's mention if you increase engine size/power, you need to use the brakes that came on the car with that engine.)

bit ironic about the pot calling the kettle black, eh?

I made a 228rwhp skyline because i wanted to do it for the experience so that i can be a keyboard warrior in threads like these when people pipe up their internet opinions.

So by applying YOUR 'theory' in a literal sense, any performance modification to an engine must be coupled with performance modification to the decelerating system...

if you increase engine size/power, you need to use the brakes that came on the car with that engine

Watch out boys, if you don't upgrade the brakes after installing a POD filter, Mitchy will report your dangerous ass to the ADR body.

PS, Mitchy, why did you do fully sick hecktic burnouts in the car you only JUST bought, (on public roads to boot), then place it for sale after wards? Hmm, shall i find a nice .jpg for you aswell ?

i fail to see what i do after i buy a car, and when i choose to sell it has to do with upgrading engines and brakes, but go for your life champ, i wouldn't mind a good burnout picture. (obviously it has my number plates, etc in it to prove it was me, and on a public road like you claim?)

and hey.. its not my 'theory', its the ADRs, and i dont write them...

hey boys cmon settle it!!!!

This is my thread bout my car member not a bitch fight ova wots been done or not....

Neways mitchy i am talkin to an engineer (best mate) to start with cos thats who im gettin to install the engine as well as give me an engineering certificate after the install is done so that i can rego the car with the engine in it!

but neways ive had a look at the car and its in nice condition, the brakes are fine to start with and im just gona get them shaved to start with then work on them wen i move onto stage 2 of my mods which is like upping the boost and internals etc....

haha cheers char

yeh thursday ill be going to me mates place and ill actually get pics in the light! only thing is id love to keep the drift r rims that r on it but cant :bunny: bugga!!!

So thursday im pikin up stock steelies and puttin them on hahahaha hmmmm :down:

neways it has a 3" straight through exhaust on it already so once engine is install i just have to set it up with a cat and ill be rite! Best mate says that it sounded hell beefy b4 the other rb20 came out, so cant wait to hear it meself hehehe

Yet you sell engine packages to people who haven't upgraded brakes...

So he's not allowed to sell an engine to someone, unless the buyer pinky swears to upgrade their brakes as well?

"Ohh Bart, please oh please will you sell me this engine. I promise to to bush my teeth, and clean my room and upgrade my brakes prior to driving on the roads! Please please please!!!"

hahahahahaha ur a bloody funny bugga ryan!

Cmon bois settle it ova pms not in my thread!

We all no, unless u no didly squot about cars, that brakes is one of the first things to upgrade while upgrading the engine!

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
