What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

On the R32 GTR brake bandwagon - Mine were $400 with OEM rotors with Nil wear. and some worn out pads.

Craig keeps telling me I'll crack them cause their cross drilled. I keep telling him he drives like Shumi , and they won't crack on the streets. Guess we'll see.

Nice Rims Aaron, I was thinking about them, except there is already a M35 in Sydney with them - Spoolin.

There were certainly documented cases of R32 GTR cross drilled rotors cracking, and plenty of bodgy DBA Sport Gold crummydore discs cracking.

I think it's a case of one bad apple spoiling the bunch; if correctly engineered and heat treated/ stress relieved, quality ones have no issues.

red's a bit G A Y..... for a bad ass backward hat facing mofo like Aaron!!! :P

Aaron...black would look good....inner grey area only though

lol atleast its only abit gay. your just the full package :nyaanyaa:

i kinda like the whole thing in black.. the only thing with that is.. it doesnt have the 'plain' look anymore

Don't show Iain those calipers, he likes a Nismo badge :whistling:

hahah lol. im not sure if i wanna paint over em. not really into the stand out feature of them..

I liked them when i saw them on spoolins car... sorry for copying you spoolin :action-smiley-069:

I'm willing to bet it's because they look good.

almost no-one will get brakes hot enough to crack rotors on the street.

craig will.

give craig anything unbreakable and guess what? he'll break it

    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D? 
    • I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
