  1. The LCD rows are too small to read on the fly IMO. But the old school tacho beats PS2 bar graphs imo
  2. I suggest you really need to do some reading. There are so many options, you can get speed and rpm from ecu, you can get it from one wheel speed sensor or 4 wheel speed sensors. The cost depends a lot on which model you go for, as the number of channels and options vary greatly. Also the cost of the sensors varies greatly depending on what you want to monitor. You can buy them used out of Europe for less then 3k with sensors
  3. Well Tracker, you and Scotsman have proven to me that the G4 were the buys of the century for the money. If the K-sport are their equal then that is encouraging. I have some of the Endless 6 pots knock offs by KTS which i or a friend will be trying soon. There seems to be far more options for budget brake upgrades these days then there was back around 2005. Back then it was used GTR Brembos or 4.5k for APs/Brembos etc The real test is finding a good economical rotor in the size you are after. I still am a brand whore, so much that I just bought another set of big 4 pots, simply because its a brand I have not used before and they may be a better solution then the Alcons
  4. Any news if the K-sport caliper is as durable as the G4. First impression from looking at pictures (so coul dbe miles off base) is that the G4s were probably better. They have more visible bolts and looked a bit chunkier in the bridge.

    If you own a Skyline then any attempt to get aero will odds on ruin the look of the car. (IMO) Just make it loud and move around on the track under power If you want to go aero then buy a 180SX or an RX7, their styling looks cool when you go the whole hog with spoilers etc
  6. Was looking at this stuff recently. The new K-Sport caliper looks different to the old G4, but the rotors appear to still be the same. Shame that Just Jap dont stock the G4 anymore, in th elast few months they sold them they went for a flat black and were a more attractive kit for the use of the low key colour
  7. So Graham, this is the debut? Give us a big post of how the weekend goes. I remember looking at your car on my105 all that time ago thinking "cool basis to build on" . Best of luck for the weekend!
  8. Those Endless rotors sure look nice
  9. OK, i just can let this go.... so what is the story behind this pretty serious looking piece of kit? Thanks to MaTBoY from photography section od SAU Is it possibly the old Performance Metalcraft R33, that used to be yellow and have signage of som evineyard...just with a colour change??!! WOnder what happened to that car, it an twin 2835s or something and had plenty of kit
  10. huh? So you are building up an R35? I have never seen your R33 but from what I heard about when it was at PI last year the thing is a bullet so inerested to see what you could do with a 35
  11. That RX7 v Supercar vid is pretty telling of what affect weight and no tyres does for the Supercar. You see the RX7 is able to go soooo much later on the brakes and carry so much more speed mid corner. So who is going to be the first to throw the mortgage at an R35. Stroker kit with bigger turbos, PPG gearset. Completley gut the thing and swiss hole it with lexan windows, carbon, titatium and as little cage as you can get away with.
  12. The guy is so quick in everything he drives...but looking at his incar he has is fairly relaxes and perhaps unorthodox in his driving style
  13. Its all in the reach around. I want a cool kids ghearbox as it will make me feel like a driving god. Who gives a shit abotu how quick you are going. Sure its nice to go quick, but in my eyes my car rocks as it feels like you are going fast, so good enough is close enough to actually going fast. The gearbox will just improve the show...also good practice on how to drive a car with a proper box
  14. I bought them as i was curious to see if the KTS 6 pots whcih are a Endless knock off are any good. They seem reasonable, well. I am told, as they were delivered to a friend who had a look at them as i am still OS. Told that they look to be on par with the K-Sport gear, are not curved vane rotors. Was going to give them a try, but from what i am hearing i am better of stickign with my original plan of using my 6 pot Alcons Cheap as in, what they cost me which is about what you pay for R33 GTR Brembos I think they are the same as what Boxhead runs on his white S14. Not sure they are any better then Nissan Brembos on a 324mm rotor, but they do work out cheaper.
  15. SR20 gearsets work in the RB20 box, are lighter...but not as strong Russ, you just needed new tyres. I cant believe you ran that time on 12 month old used Yokies! New tyres and some cheap, brand new 6 pots on 330mm rotors that i bought as i wanted to see how good the Endless knock offs were
  16. hmmm, take it to the email Will the extra tyre make up for the increase in gearing and extra weight? With about 280-300rwkws!
  17. Marlin, so when are you putting a PPG gearset in your bus? Oh, and i have having a debate at the moment, What would be quicker on your car? 255/40/17s or 265/35/18s? I am betting he narrower 17s would be quicker on my car
  18. Looks like they fixed the window flying open at speed too
  19. LOL, then nothing would get done. As is it looks like nothing gets done as they must spend all their time cleaning the place
  20. Looks good with the Advan signage! Was thinking about the brake dramas you were having. Perhaps you need to run drum brakes. So no more PPG? Imagine if the BRI73Y was still black... would have confused plenty of people Which remings me, it looks like the Cyber Evo runs std Mitsu Brembos! If thats the case, I am gutted. Whats the point of having an uber car if you dnt have 20k worth of braking hardware off an Indycar or something... There are sum magnesim TEs for sale at the moment, I so need them
  21. So this means tuff R31 coupes with good gear on them are a no-go? Shit!

    So they were not even fresh tyres? The same as those from last years Lapdance?
  23. Jesus, looks like someone is going quick! Those Teins are the by of the century, the car looks pretty settled and the times show they must be working ok...even with the Jap springs still in them So no pics of Russ Sr in the GTR. I am told it has grown a big wang!
  24. Did the tuff little MR2 in the build section of SAU make an appearance?
  25. Needs to go back to a silver R33 parked somewhere in QLD Big single, open gate and too much hp and just bludgeon them to death
