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.

I like the one where you say 'I was going to....but then I realised it's Mr Ants and he might get butthurt' farkin lol

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.

Thanks mate :cheers:

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.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
