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!

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
