James, Ash and Andrew hope you planned a couple of rest stops along the way, as shivam and myself went for a test run yesterday and he experienced major brake fade just after the down hill sections.  Jumped out of the car to see the front calipers SMOKING ;).

Remember we are on a cruise... not a race-track. So we wont be doing heaps of high speed braking like i bet you guys were doing ;)

I didnt get any fade on our drive... and i've got undersized disks and worn pads on my car.

We wont be going fast enough to possibly have anyone with brake fade.

Unless thier car's brakes are shot, then that's the owners problem.

we already have a resident R31 to poke poke fun at. Actually, its moreso the driver that we poke fun at than the car.

I believe Ash's R31 coupe

Hmm... I'm taking this as yet another punt at me :P

And yeah, the take the usual p(ss outta me... but not the car as everyone knows it's a rocket :D

Dunno if my car will be coming yet, dropped it off at centreline this morning so we'll see how it goes.

Either way i'll be there somehow!

anyone bringing a bbq? whats goin on for food?

Funky - its not 270 x 2. The cruise is kinda one big circle. So the whole cruise (well from Major Petrol station to Major petrol station) is 270 and they both just out of the CBD. We don't do any doubling back the way we came from on this cruise.

For those wanting to pre-meet out the front of Evolution R meet there at say 8:45am. This will be only a short quick meet-up and then we'll cruise to megamart.

sounds good! i will be meeting at the megamart... keep an eye out for a green soarer that looks like a moo cow thanks to that fantastic fibreglass patching up of the front hehe.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
