My 2c, I use the 29s and love them, 2500s I really don't like - upsets many when you say it, they feel like blocks of wood compared to the pagids. Have a heap of bite and feel all through the temp range.

This is track car only though, for the street the pagids are much better behaved though, the 2500 need temp before they quieten down and brake properly.

The pagids for me when cold only make a little tinkle - very quiet, 2500s on our Evo you see people winding up windows and peds hands over ears!

I believe the 29s are an evolution of the 19 or am I mistaken?

Paul,

I didn't think the 2500's were an issue on the street. Worked straight out of the driveway. I was a little concerned about the RS19's being a bit annoying when cold but you say the opposite si that's great!

The guy I spoke to said the RS29's offer a bit more initial bite but all in all they're the same pad.

I will report back.

Not coming to DECA?

Nah they keep organising it same weekend as targa high country so can't make it. Was looking forward to drooling over you car! Spewin

On the 2500s, now I think about it they were actually better with that Alcon kit you have - I had the same kit on my 32, not so nice on the evo. Still pagids all the way for me!

Ah damn :(.

Interesting about the pads with that kit. They don't seem to like too much heat. I have left the rears as is considering the size of the rear rotor (350 mm). I can always change them later on if it feels unbalanced.

So, after Tuesday, it looks like I have broken or bent a tooth in second gear.

Time for another aftermarket gearbox.

PPG straight cut dog box? The OS 5 speed doesn't cut it! :(

it doesn't cut it????

How or more importantly why dud it break

Dunno why it broke.

I pulled the boost down to 1.5 bar (minimum I can run). Came in second session and second gear was knocking. Terry at award thinks its a bent or broken gear.

Dunno when I'm gonna pull it out. I'm a bit heart broken ATM.

    • 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).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • 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
