got my remsa pads on my desk (apparently between the qfm hpx and ar1m but still low rotor wear and dust)

i really want to put them in tmrw but i also want to machine the front rotors :(

really wishing i was either in qld (my mate has lathes and stuff) or had a big lathe in my garage

I have a lathe the disks fit onto Tom but I could never hold them in the chuck well enough to face them properly, they need to be bolted/clamped in. My local bloke machines disks for $20 each anyway so I don't bother.

I have a set of Brembo's I am rebuilding at the moment, new seals etc. When he machined the Brembo disks he had to change to a carbide cutter as they were so hard. Pita for him apparently.

Another frustrating week of waiting for my Aero kit to be painted.rant.gif

Dropped in on Thursday; to see the bars in primer, looking slick as, waiting for paint!woot.gif

Hopefully they'll be on by the weekend!

The bolts that mount the sides of the rear bar (top edge) are these accessed from the boot? What trim do I need to remove to access them?

Thanks in advance.wave.gif

yeah i think jap rotors > australian rotors

we did a pair of 31 rear rotors at my mates workshop over summer and they went well (any the calliper had locked on so the surface was blue = hard) and it took the surface off well, it just takes a long time to set them up and make sure they are true plus most lathes won't reach and do both sides without flipping the rotor around

so if you have to pay someone to run them on a regular lathe = exxy because its time consuming, but if you free lathing (like i do at uni banana.gif) then its kinda worth it

yes

just the inside trim each side. dont lose any of the nuts, i dont have 100s of them spare lol

Thanks Iain :thumbsup: Man, I need to tee up with you to pick up that arm too; totally forgot about it! You about one night this week?

Cheers, Dale.

took off the stock airbox apart, washed and cleaned the top front part (lots of dirt and gunk in there for some reason), took off part of the resonator (broke a couple of clips in the process pinch.gif), took the car out and the engine sounds louder, but wanted a bit more loud, any suggestions other than changing to pod filter?

if your wanting abit more loud without tuning, i wouldnt do this.

you would need an eManage as you'll be hitting airflow cut quite often

agree with aaron...not planning to get any piggyback ecu or anything, just want a cheap way to make the intake sound louder without using pod filter...

what about the part underneath the panel filter? can i block it somehow?

If you want more noise you can leave the top off the airbox - down side is warmer intake temps. Your choice - more noise or better performance. If you block off the bottom of the airbox the car probably won't go at all.

Hey Chris whats wheels are they? Mate of mine asked and I assumed XD9's at quick glance but they are indeed different, not to mention they don't make XD9's in 19"...

They are a CE28 copy by a company called Varrstoen.

CE28! I forgot about them. Are they quality copies? I've been living in a carless world in the mountains of Canada for the last year and a bit - amazing how much has changed in the mean time lol.

Varrstoen probably make one of the nicest copies going around... They actually make wheels is good size/width and offsets unlike most Chinese wheels which haven't much selection at all.

Yeah I was keen on WedsSport SA-67R's for my M35 until I realised that I'd either be cramming a 10" wheel onto my car or run a 9" wheel with spacers. I know Lense Corse do the LC818 but getting the right size is proving tricky (everyone wants to sell a staggered set).

Pics of the car yet?

Oh and today i took my car our to mallala for the g1 drift.

Drove half a lap to the start to get some different camera angles and went to start it and had no power left >_<

Getting your car jump started in front of a few thousand people on a race track is embarrassing... New battery this week methinks...

    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
