I have a very bad habit of warping or hotspotting discs in all my previous cars, and want to nip this in the budd before I start doing any damage.

change to better than factory pads and brake fluid for your driving application, replace factory discs with better ones also help.

FYP

Lol

What was so funny? My saying the Evo had fulleh hektic stretch?

There was quite a few gold quotes in there really. I've forgotten them all now though :P. But yeah mainly this:

I thought the general "I turn happy laps into angry laps" vibe was the funny bit... :D

Buy me an external mic then.

No.

Like, 'is that an old evo or just a dirty f**king lancer'?

Then you have to put up with my engine noise.

Speaking of brakes - I know this is probably the wrong place to ask, but the right place for the people I'd respect the answer from most - what should I put on a V36 350GT? I have a very bad habit of warping or hotspotting discs in all my previous cars, and want to nip this in the budd before I start doing any damage.

Depends on which calipers you're running. If it's the basic ones, scrap them and replace with either Akebono or R34 bits. Akebonos are about $2k though.

Also take a look at what rotors and pads you're running. The right mix will help but if the size isn't right, you'll still get heaps of brake fade. I am the master of brake fade! :P

RDA slotted and dimpled combined with QFM or EBC pads should give you a good go.

I am planning on RDA slotted and dimpled with EBC Red Stuffs in mine...

I gotta admit... jibberish... all jibberish! :P

I have much to learn. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford to have a dedicated track day car to put my money into - and maybe then I'll understand what "RDA slotted and dimpled" means without automatically picturing some exotic condom style.

my mate took the photos and gave me links to them, so I just posted them up as is... I don't know much about photos/compression but it sounds like you need faster internet? :P

should you post more dirty Evos in the future just save them on your desktop resize the pix like 1/3 and then post them up (I use photobucket or my mobile to post all my sexy photos)

Flickr should offer compression by changing the "_o.jpg" to "_z.jpg", or other letters. None of them work.

I blame your friend for not allowing Flickr to auto-compress linked photos.

Either that or he's shared his view address, not the public address.

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
