Well with a bit of luck I'm ready to go for Friday, finished a quick tidy up of the car today and have the new tyres on. Its been run in, tuned, spanner checked, aligned and seems to run OK

Is everyone else ready to do?

Custom catch can is now all fitted and the brake pads have arrived, just gotta get them in and i should be right to go :yes:

Im waiting for my new front rotors, but have thrown in the new pads incase they dont arrive. cause to old ones look like this. :)

Haha well at least we suffered the same issues! I did 2 sets of pads and a gearbox :P

What pads do you run out of interest?

Ferodo DS3000s, they chew the hell out of the rotors though.

Edit - i mean before they backing plates were on the rotor!

Haha yeah was going to say the backing plates wouldn't have helped the rotors life :P

well at least you got good value from them.

If you are both chewing through pads you need something more aggressive. Hawk HT-60 are excellent track pads if you can get them in the size you need

I am trying out the Winmax pads from Brake Direct... The rears are a W5 which are similar to a DS3000 and the fronts are a W6 which are similar to a Club Racer from memory... Meant to be pretty aggressive for a standard sized pad! In saying that i still have them in the boxes and not in the car lol... I really should sort that out :P

got good life out of them, i think. i've had them in since 2012 and done maybe 5 trackdays a year. is that deemed acceptable?

that said, i wouldnt mind trying something else. although they are the right pads for my callipers i have to shave them down 2mm each to fit. very annoying..

I reckon that is a pretty bloody good stint ;) I went through 2 sets at Wakie lol

Brakes Direct have some good options and good advice, ask for Greg and see what he can do for ya?

I will most likely go bigger fronts when i can afford too...

Cool, I'm off so will drop in for a few hours to lend moral support :3some:

also point a lot and say what's that :unsure:

:rofl:

Awesome... Come say Hi...

Shit I better start putting Cheryl back together. She's in a million bits on the garage floor.

Lol talk about leaving things to the last minute! :P

I'm hoping that means an easier Friday for me rather than fixing lots of things... Lol

Just got back from the dyno for the e85 upgrade and tune, may get their a bit early on Thursday as its open track day and do a few laps get use to the extra 45kw I have now, coil overs that need some setting up.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
