^as above or

You also have nismo.com.au (UAS) caliper spacers $300 + RDA 324mm rotors $320 from the group buy. cross drilled will make the rotors crack very quick.

dba 4000 are known to crack. i've cracked one and seen 2 other at the track with the same fate.

you should never crack a rotor from having insufficient time to cool them.

sure they might crack while driving and get worse when you slow, but you should never stop with very hot brakes.

do your cool down at 75% and avoid using the brakes at all. At most tracks that is 2-3min of cooling already. If you are still worried when you get back in the pits, go for a drive at walking speed for another couple of minutes. when you do stop, don't put the handbrake on (the drums can weld to the handbrake shoes).

don't use cross drilled rotors. avoid slotted rotors which have slots that go to the edge of the disc. avoid the DBA skyline rotors cast about 3 years ago, they were terrible and all cracked.

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      Custom titanium intake

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
