Get 8 pots!

why?

I miss the brakes on my old Supra. Those were big mother f*ckers.

because you have to try and stop something that weighs somewhere between a skyscraper and a continent on shithouse 4 pot calipers. the only way to disspate all that heat is to have a larger rotor.

effective braking size of a supra is the same as a GTSt.

you can buy $80 adaptors that convert GTR calipers to use Supra rotors. Now that's a sweet and cheap upgrade for a skyline.

Virtually any 6cyl car can break traction in any weather. My Supra did it easily. It all comes down to the driver.

Auto is a bit harder I guess.

Stand on brakes, depress accelerator, let brakes off slightly, do skid

= profit.

I didn't have the SZ model 4 pots though :D Mine were off the RZ. Sif I'd call 4 pots "big motherf*ckers" :nyaanyaa:

You should see the pissy little ones on my Australian delivered MR2 though. I need to fix that shit BAD.

How would you know what I do? :nyaanyaa: Pretty sure track work requires good brakes.

And dude, you never know what the dickhead in front of you will do on the road!

Or when a bloody dog will run out of a house directly in front of you! That happened to me the other day. Lucky it was in the dry.

I panicked and slammed the brakes on. Bit of smoke but it stopped alright. I reckon I would have hit the stupid animal if it was wet.

only the 95 onwards models (SZ and RZ) came with 4 pot brakes. the ones that came before were all 2 potters. 4 pots are as big as you get on a poopra.

i honestly don't think you have any clue what you're talking about :(

ended up ordering 10 large pizzas lmao

on another note

my luck gets worse and worse with skylines

every f**kin car i see, am bet to it by a small amount of time

all the replies are "just sold it man" and "sold it yesterday"

f**k!

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
