I couldn't make it to the 'plex tonight, but I was on the phone to a friend during your second run and I got the good news as it happened :D Congratulations!

I hear no one stepped up to take the stock cooler, stock turbo title. C'mon fellas :P

Chris pretty much just drove it off the line the first time I think, the second and third he stalled her up a bit.

I dont think the 13.389 guy had a clue, he basically said that its the way it came in from Japan and he's only had it a while. He did mention that in Japan it had some extra stuff that was taken off, like the front mount.

oh what boost were you  

Oscar did a 13.67  silvia Ks after a burnout on stockies

His best before hand was about 13.9

Yeah it works for some. The problem is that some street tyres will lose 'chunks' when they get burnouts done on them and of course they get 'inflated' as they get hot so if you don't run a significatly lower pressure they end up over-inflated at the take off.

If I can manage to get down there tomorrow I'm going to try 19/20psi and burnouts to hopefully get less than a '15':D That is if my super cheap 205 rear tyres don't lose chunks of rubber and I don't drive like a wally.

Sure will. Everyone knows that the intercooler goes bad if you don't keep it in the fridge:D

I'm really only going down to beat everyone who lines up next to me (or at least try), going for times is not a luxury I can afford as I will be going straight from work and my boot will have the usual 100kg or so of crap in it. Besides I remember racing at Ravo's and the best part is having a 'legal' race with another hoon and having specators (even tho they say nasty things about how slow you are at least you can't hear them).:P

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      It just occurred to me. The way I am asking for increasing bite as I slow down (ie more bite the more time on the brakes), that is actually sounding like less initial bite, and hence the bite would feel to increase.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      Sorry, I must've not been clear enough. On my 350GT, the pads originally on the car created dust to high heaven, and did not squeal at any time. I got new low dust pads, that created absolutely NO visible dust, that squealed when cold.  It wasn't  the initial bite, so much as an increase in braking, without extra brake pedal pressure, during a single brake instance. I had to lift off a little as my speed decreased to zero. Loved it! Now on my 370GT, I have to press a little harder as I approach zero. Not hard, just harder. I am too lazy and live in a city block with no room or tools to do it myself, so I would be paying someone to do the switch I looked at the three offerings by Intima, and one of them had a Features line that caught my eye. "Strong initial bite with continual rising coefficient". The problem is that this is on their "Trackday, Time Attack, Sprint" pads, not their day-to-day pads. Its possible that JAX installed track day pads on my 350GT, I just don't know. But I was pretty clear I did not track the car and drove the streets pretty gently. https://intimabrakes.com.au/home-corporate/intima-rr/ I'll send them an email and also check if other pads purport that behaviour.
