Have you had a chance to test your stoptechs yet Troy?

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 :)

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?

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.

My screamer will definitely be on for SL then!

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
