Not yet....been crazy busy with work. The brackets are machined up, lines, pads everything sitting at mechanics ready to go on. I just have not had time to get out there and fit them. One day once the fog of working 7d/wk passes

[jahn-15]

Any updates love of the thread mate.

dunno weather to go: rb25, rb25/30, or stay with my rb20 and go similar route as you.

Hows it go on the street on your old setup trust one? Thats my pick of the bunch

[Roy]

The Trust manifold with 8cm TD06-20G was not too bad on the street. If you want a quick street car then something smaller like a GT-SS would make for a nicer car....or an RB25. But if you can live with a powerband from 4,500rpm to 8,000rpm then the lil 20 is an ok thing. Its tough and reliable and cheap.

As for updates...I have replaced the 100mm ARC cooler with an OE R34 GTR cooler. The Stoptechs are on with 343mm x 32mm rotor with PFC06 pads and about the only thing left to do is clean up the cooler piping with the Plazmaman plenum then start enjoying it again. The E85 tune and 10cm housing and Tomei cams may be back on the cards. They are sitting here ready to be used. But for now just want to have some fun punting it

Nice Troy. What are PFC06's?

I'm planning on hitting the track in June. You around at all?

Most people with 26's live with that sort of powerband anyway, so realistically It's not bad at all.

Pads by Performance Friction ...

Performance Friction 06 Race pads have high average torque output, similar to PFC01, rising over its operating temperature range, and a MOT of 2000 degrees F. Excellent bite, exceptionally low rotor wear, and better than average pad wear. May be used for endurance racing, like PFC97, but with significantly higher bite.

Yeh, think I am quitting my job on Wednesday so will have plenty of time to play with the car in June

Quitting ey? To live in Melb or abroad?

What's a set of front pads worth? I'm looking at H16-03 from Project Mu, they call them Club racer. About 400 a set of fronts for my G4's. Heard anything about them?

[Roy]

Fancy have a noise limit on a race track So seems like I am going to go back to my old tune and plumbed back gate Fancy losing power, and sounding shit Oh well, better then being black flagged in the first session of the day and wasting $180

[skylinegtts]

which track is that Roy?

[sav man]

only real cars get kicked off for being too loud.

[Roy]

which track is that Roy?

Sandown And Yes...real cars get booted for being too cool (err noisy)

[femno]

That sucks Roy especially the $180 part.

[MBS206]

Most tracks have a 95DBA noise limit as measured 30 metres away from the edge of the track.

EC is one of the only ones I know of in Aus that doesn't.
