What brake set up did you go with George? Have you still got your Supra & a R34 GTR? Didn't you have a Pulsar or Laser as well?

I got suplied a full set of Kido racing front and rear brakes 380mm rotors for the GTR 8 pot front and 6 pot rear calipers. And yes i still have the 34 gtr and the Supra. Supra is going a ECU change as the Haltech will not give us any kind of support regarding their vvti on the 2j control and att he moment it doesnt work. So another ECU supplier is going to give us an ECU and help us make it all work.

I had a 02 Laser but that was sold two years ago, i now have a Jeep patriot and a Dodge Caliber.

^^^^ Bloody hell George! 380mm 8 pots plus 6 pots for the rears! :laugh: How much power is your GTR putting out? The thing will stop on a dime! I've never even heard of Kido as a brake brand. I can't wait to see how you go on Monday.

I wish I had my GTR :D

So after going to 5 different places today and trying on lots of helmets the ones that fitted the best and were the most comfortable were the Shoei. They were also the most expensive (well the carbon fibre ones for $2500 were but I only looked at them to admire).

I can get the one I want - a 2009 model TZ-R in metallic anthracite - for $600 in town from Bills Motorcycles but I have just found a place in the USA that sells them for USD$278 or ~AUD$300. Add shipping and it will still be a lot less than $600. Will a US sourced helmet pass scrutineers? It won't have the Australian Standards sticker on the back.

no mate that wont pass scrutineering so to speak, has to have the australian standards sticker!

ill be out there taking photos, for anyone thats interested! usually do drift days, but keen for a look at some grip stuff see how i go!

Hey, what are you going to do with your old brembos? i might know someone keen on buying them!

Andrew's fastest lap at the last time attack was 1.16.30 and that was his first time out with full slicks.

i think his best time was 1:14.7 (not at TA though); for some reason the slicks actually went slower than what he'd ran before.

Yeh they are an OEM manufacturer for big name brands like Alcon AP and the rest. My GTR is currently putting out 315kw at all four wheels by the dyno read out the other day but i didnt have time to adjust the nismo fuel pump for more delivery. There is still left more in it.

And yes the stopping power is bloody amazing light touch on the pedal during daily driving and i feel like im gonna fly out the windscreen.

problem = critical parts for my car did not arrive today so i may not be ready for the trackday :happy: unless they arrive on Monday morning and i get there late.

dilemma = do i take the daily driver out there anyway and cut some laps for fun or does someone want to take my place at this eleventh hour?

As I said via SMS, take the daily, don't be a pussy :happy:

what are you needing ?

a set of new brakepads - i had asked Endless Australia to send us a set of fronts asap and that the rears from Japan could wait until after the trackday. however, there seems to be have been some confusion somewhere along the line and i now suspect that i'm getting the fronts when the rear set arrives from Japan which looks to be AFTER the event. the ironic thing is that i'm the Endless reseller and i should have organised this a month ago. hindsight is perfect (sigh).

my advice to those who are planning mods for the Nov23 trackday is to get all the work done in the next fortnight as it's only four weeks after this trackday.

As I said via SMS, take the daily, don't be a pussy :happy:

ok ok, i'll bring the daily. some track time is better than no track time at all :) otherwise people can PM me if they really want my spot ($)

it would be nice if a local dealer had race pads on the shelf for Brembo F50 brakes. can anyone get me a set by Monday?
