Hi all,

I have a 95 GTR R33 V Spec. I have installed new RDA EBC rotors - dimpled and grooved with Hawk HPS - Ferro carbon breaks. I'm finding the breaks don't give enough bite, and would like something that is good for the track and road. As I'm I'm looking to track the car as well, with the use of it on weekends, I'm after something that will give a bit more bite without the squeal.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Can't find any specs on those pads. What made you pick those? In saying that I was told this morning a friend just did a track day and used hawk pads and they were fine.

Check out the brake pad thread http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169972-brake-pads-users-ratings-guide

Two points about those pads that are full of holes; I'm so punny.

This material offers ease on your rotors

Hawk HPS Brake Pads have a 20-40% longer lifetime

Should have gone with the EBC Yellow stuff pads, rated to 900, good pedal feel and reasonable bite, great for street and track.

I just happen to have another box of them sitting on my desk to go onto my FG XR6 Turbo ute as the last front set are down to 1mm, something to do this weekend (like i dont have enough on already)

Im not a fan of too much bite, its a great way to upset the balance of the car on track, you want more bite, press harder.......

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
