    Brake Upgrade

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted · Edited by bhappy

    Just sell your GTR, put all your good gear in an R32 GTSt then your R33 324 Brembo setup will mostl likely walk it in with 300kg less weight to pull up :wave:

    One thing to remember is that if you are upgrading the brakes on an R33 GTR then there is strong demand for your old brakes. I woudl suggest you would get between $1600-2,000 for R33 GTR Brembos with pads and DBA 5000 rotors. It makes upgrades a lot cheaper when what you already have is desirable :)

    How about losing some of the excess weight off the car? :thumbsup: Or betta yet, sell your gtr and get a s15! haha My S15 running r33 gtr brembo's, project mu 2 pieces discs, never runs out of brakes with 280rwkw, amazing what a bit of weight reduction can do for ya braking =p

    Here's the dyno, Jim said it was making the power easily, without having to push it. We left it at 15.5psi because its only a stock bottom end and its better to stay on the safe side when ya haven't budgeted for a tomei crate engine any time soon :P Full boost is made at approx 4200rpm. Rear tyres were 255/40/18, Diff ratio is stock, 3.692. 5th gear is 1:1 ratio in s15.

    ok, so how do you know its genuine? How do you even know its the most accurate dyno in the country?

    I bet if I dropped my car on there it would probably get 340rwkw or something......

    I can read maps, and I can certainly tell you that what you are claiming is BS. I had to use water methanol injection on a much bigger turbo to make 300rwkw. If I took the WMI away, I'd drop to 270rwkw - 280rwkw. What you are telling me is that your "280rwkw" on your smaller turbo on LOWER boost is going to make the same amout of power, than a bigger engine, with a turbo that has a bigger turbine, compressor, and bigger trims?

    I'm still going to say that that dyno readout you have is crap. There is NO WAY a smaller turbo, running less boost is going to out perform a bigger turbo of the exact same type, running more boost. Why would garrett bother selling the bigger one then? Plus it's physically impossible.

    Read the maps, I can guarantee that dyno reading is way too happy. Either that or come to the mainline here, and you'll get a real reading. I was told my car on a Dyno Dynamics would read 20-30rwkw higher. But I don't care, I use the dyno as a tool, measure my afr's, and not lose my license. My termial speed is what I have been looking at.

    Whats your terminal speed down the quarter mile? Thats the only way you can accurately predict what you are claiming.

    I know its genuine because I have the dyno chart from the dyno readings which was witnessed by Jim the head tuner at CRD and andrew aka dumhed, and the other people that were there. Jim is one the most reputable tuners in Australia and knows how to precisely calibrate and maintain his dyno. Also I never claimed it was the 'most' accurate dyno in the country. I said 'I think its probably one of the most accurate dyno's in the country' Nice to see that you can read what I write as well as you can read maps. I think you should do some research into CRD before you start saying that the readout from their dyno is crap.

    There are plenty of ways that a smaller turbo, running less boost is going to out perform a bigger turbo of the exact same type, running more boost. Ie. Quality of tune, Higher fuel Octane, different engine components, etc.

    So if you were told 'my car on a Dyno Dynamics would read 20-30rwkw higher.' Why did you state in ya first post that 'Oh, and apparently the Dynodynamics dyno's in mackay here (there are 2) are reading 10rwkw - 20rwkw MORE than this dyno.'? Did you get some new information from somewhere? :(

    Also Id like to find out how you can guarantee that my dyno reading is way too happy? I haven't bothered to take my car down the quarter mile as yet, as I m not really all that interested in quarter mile times.

    That must have been the happiest dyno in the world.

    There is no f**king way in the world that a GT3071 would make 280rwkw on a S15 at 15psi.

    Mine is making 300rwkw on 18psi, and the turbo is much larger. (bigger compressor and turbine, etc)

    Looking at the flow maps will prove this....

    Well 280rwkw was made on Croyden Racing Developments Dyno Dynamics Dyno in shootout mode on 98 Octane BP. I think its probably one of the most accurate dyno's in the country. Andrew aka Dumhed, the guy who smashed all the skylines at the most recent Skyline Australia NSW track day down at wakefield was there and witnessed it. Jim the head tuner at CRD tuned it. Obviously you can't read those maps very well since Im making a genuine 280rwkw.

    The Sau Official Track Day 2007

    Big thanks for organising the day!

    I had a lot of fun, and managed to pull a 1:09.00 out of the Silvia :rant:

    I was very tempted to head straight back out and try to get into the 8's, but it had just started raining again...

    SR20DE power! :rant:

    Good to see a naturally aspirated silvia beating all the skylines and the rest of the field there on sunday! Imagine how much quicker the silvia would of been than all the skylines if it had a snail, it would of been a no contest :O

    * So what are the springs rates going to be or range from?

    * Which car do you think will 'handle better' a s15 with this kit(the full coilover version) vs a r33 gtst with their version of the group buy suspension?

    * How do you think this suspension fares compares to say tein superstreets that have been revalved by falcrum to suit aussie conditions?

    * How hard do you think it would be to modify my JIC magic camber tops to suit the struts?

    * Would say you ve spent as much time and energy on developing this kit for the s15 compared to the skylines? and how happy are you with the results compared to the results you got for the skyline kits?

    I m really keen about this kit. Almost ready to put a deposit down and put my money where my mouth is, once you have a price for it =)
