Sausa Track Day #1

[heslo]

Ok guys, save for the people who have had to pull out, everyone has paid their deposits. Please remember that final payment of the other $100 is due by April 1st. This leaves just over 2 weeks. We are just under a month away from the track day so start prepping peeps, it will go quick!

whats wrong with your brakes dave?

i am almost ready for this track day, got my coilovers, a31 cefiro hubs and lower control arms, r33 gtst calipers and my motul rbf 660, all i am waiting on now is some brake pads and we are all set to change it all over

[Aberax]

I need

Z32/R33 Brake Rebuild Kit

Braided Brake lines

QFM Pads

RDA Slotted Rotors

Some brake fluid

New rear tires

...and a helmet for the trackday. What brake fluid do people suggest? If the motul stuff, where do I get it and how much is it?

[scandyflick]

whats wrong with your brakes dave?

probably nothing. but everything can be improved. r33's are bigger, and r33 brembos* are bigger again. never a bad thing.

at the minimum im gonna run a rebuild kit through the calipers, machine the rotors, and bust out some new fluid. then ive got a basic service, do something about the fuel pickup to stop it surging, install castor arms and rcas, maybe run some brake ducting, fit a harness...

*and if i do pinch lukes brembos, ill need a bm44, and probably new lines.

[HELSLO]

well if you do pinch lukes brembos, i am always happy to help you out with the fitting & bleeding etc,

and aberax, as for the motul stuff, it seems to be the way to go, the going rate seems to be $50 per 500ml bottle, and unfortunately the only two stockists i have found are morpowa in modbury and autobarn

Cheers Bengi

[scandyflick]

cheers bengi. one more thing about the brembos i forgot to mention, id have to modify the mounting holes on the knuckles. lol. 14mm bolts compared to 12mm.

[Madaz]

Sled and myself picked up the motul at auto barn mile end for 27 and thats before club sponsorship

[Luke_ENR34]

Or motorbike stores, they usually have good prices. Make sure u get 660 tho as the 600 doesn't work as well with abs

thanks steve, this is information that would have been useful to me last week lol . is it the 660 that you got or the 600?

cheers Bengi

[Madaz]

Dunno about that luke we both had abs and pretty sure we only had the 600 the main difference is the heat rating

[writeoff]

What brake fluid do people suggest? If the motul stuff, where do I get it and how much is it?

I would suggest Motul RBF 660 ~$55/500ml or Elf Lub HTX ~$40/500ml. I tried the Elf stuff last trackday and experienced zero fade throughout the day. I got it from AutoSports on Magill Rd and was given some discount.

aberax, as for the motul stuff, it seems to be the way to go, the going rate seems to be $50 per 500ml bottle, and unfortunately the only two stockists i have found are morpowa in modbury and autobarn

I've also found Motul at AutoSports, Motorbike shops and Repco (on South Rd St Marys).

I doubt that would be the RBF 660. If so that is a great price!

Make sure u get 660 tho as the 600 doesn't work as well with abs

I have been told this as well and my own experience with 600 was less than impressive (but I have no idea how long it had been since the brakes were last bled). When I mentioned it to my mechanic he disagreed and cited previous track records at Malllala with ABS equipped cars using RBF 600. For the next trackday I switched to Elf Lub HTX and thought it was excellent and about $15 less than Motul RBF 660 (going on RRP).

[Luke_ENR34]

And my source of info was Peter hall at autosport I'm sure

[heslo]

Adrian (180or200) has had to pull out. wilkor32gtr is up.

[Madaz]

aww spewn was looking forward to seeing Adrians beast on track,

[HELSLO]

aww spewn was looking forward to seeing Adrians beast on track,

at the rate of everyone dropping out, i think we might just have to find a 25 for your motor for the day steve and whack you at the bottom of the list....and if we don't finish that just bring the camry

[Madaz]

crazy enough it might just work

only really need metal head gasket and install

there was more stuff though that i wanted to do

[niksta]

Luke, can you confirm that you have received my remaining $100 that I transfered last wednesday

thanks
