Does anyone know what camber I'll get with the Cusco -5mm and -10mm upper arms on an R32 GTR?

Why are you selling?

They have kids already? Why doesn't that surprise me? Good times... good times

That manifold looks like a work of art... Any pics of it on the workbench?

Part Number: 14292 (I think) New or used, not fussy, but has to be in excellent condition. I'm located in Sydney...

Ahhhhhhhh... I remember the good old penriff chicks

Of course... But I would hazard a guess to say that whoever is looking at spending $4000-10000 on their brakes have their suspension sorted already In any case, this thread was going in the direction of arguing the merits of big brake setups, so the same could be said about improving the suspension to accurately control the application of standard brakes OR big brake kits, so is irrelevant in this discussion...

Hi Liquidity, Please refrain from editing out your for sale posts when items are sold. We need to keep that information for auditing and accountability reasons, in case anything in the sale goes awry.

Exactly. This test (although interesting), is next to useless. We all know (or should know, if we're looking at spending mulitple thousands on new brakes), that braking is mostly a function of tyre grip. Throw 50" brakes and 80 piston calipers on a car, and it'll still lock up the wheels or engage ABS at the exact same point as your stock brake setup. If you can lock up your brakes with your stock calipers, pads and tyres, what improvement is putting MORE braking effort into the system? The tyres are still going to lock up at the same point and stop you braking any harder. For all intents and purposes (discounting pedal feel, etc), big brakes of any brand or size, will not improve your braking effort noticeably in the one-stop test on street tyres. What DOES change, is if we alter TWO factors in this equation? 1. What if we increase NUMBER of stops? As you can see in the test, larger brakes are able to dissipate more heat, more efficiently... resulting in more consistent braking, and resistance to brake fade. 2. What if we increase TYRE GRIP? Throw a set of semi-slicks onto the car, and the level of braking you are able to achieve before locking up the brakes is massively increased. This means that you're introducing a MASSIVE amount of extra heat into the brakes, and at a MUCH faster rate than you would ever ever ever see on street tyres. That means that the heat dissipation abilities of your brakes really comes into play now. They need to shed that extra heat much more efficiently, otherwise meet my little friend "brake fade". Now to REALLY make those big, expensive, shiny, brakes earn their keep, lets combine both of those above factors and do lots of stops on semi slicks. Aha! Now we are accurately testing the difference between stock brakes and big brakes, in an environment that we would be applying them in.

I have seen many results of Jim's tuning, and I have never seen them run as lean as 13.x:1... That said, it's probably okay at low RPM, and you can see that it's getting richer very quickly. It's really at the mid-to-top end where you want it to run richer to protect the engine. The other option is that the exhaust sensor that they throw into the end of the exhaust could be faulty, or thrown in sideways, or whatever.... and not reading accurately. The reason I say this is because of the rollercoaster AFR line. Jim's tunes usually result in very smooth and straight AFR lines. Options from here: Talk to Jim, ask for a copy of the dyno graph from when he tuned the car and compare them with this one. Get another opinon (take it to another workshop in WA) If the car is running fine, and you can't hear any detonation, chances are that it's okay. Don't rush into this and throw money at this guy.

1-way? 1.5 way? Why are you selling? Direct fitment? Can you fit it for me? First dibs on this

Anyone know anything about these? Spring rates? Are they made in Japan or Sweden? Waste of money? (About $4000-ish)

Pretty sure the easiest would be to call Pirtek or Enzed. They'll send a van around and make up custom lines for you on the spot. Not sure about the cost though!

Kel - Had to Happen... Yep, food there was pretty good. Who's gonna ask for a side of habanero peppers again? Sounds good! Can we do it next month though? I really like the suggestion of Radio Cairo in Neutral Bay! I love the food and atmosphere there, pretty much tailor made for an SAU Monthly Dinner! Anyone else been there that can attest to it's greatness?

I questioned the quality of these products, and as a reasoning, I mentioned that I was after carbon doors. The thought that these were pure carbon never entered my mind. Especially at that price. That was your assumption... Farken hell, give me some credit you butt monkeys!

Looks fantastic guys :sorcerer:

Both +15 offset mate? D'ya have to roll the guards? What are your camber settings?

'sif I know anything about R32 GTRs :sorcerer:

Or 17", or 19" or whatever... Just want to see the offset and stance in the guard Thanks!

Nengun sell these btw DJR

Got pics of the R32 ones? :sorcerer:

Are you sure these aren't adjustable?!?!

Yeah... you WOULD know all about knee pads, wouldn't you? Who said I wanted a heavy chunk of fibreglass? I said that I wanted carbon door skins
