Evo calipers on 34R
Roy replied to No Crust Racing's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
The Evo brakes have pretty big pistons which is why on paper they will make for bitey brakes. Though plenty of people running them and happy You have an R34...if you are doing brakes be a man- 40 replies

Stroll looking shakey and McLaren woeful

So , question has to be asked....identified why you are knocking around the engine? I would expect a NEO to be very happy a the power level you are running

Mrs Roy get a reserve drive at Sauber Columbian so would be crazy rich to go with the crazy bit!

I reckon Renault looks pretty awesome

Brakes causing clearance issues.
Roy replied to MJTru's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
So offset wise the std front Brembos are hitting the spokes of the rim? If they are bloody big 18s I am guessing that radially there is loads of space? If the wheels have a heavy curve to them and by the time the spoke hits the outer rim hub you may get away with running calipers for bigger brakes. I know there is a big difference in sizes of calipers and IMO you should undo the two bolts that hold the caliper to the hub. With the pads still in wiggled them out so that the pads still bit on the caliper and just pull them out half the pad depth and then try to fit the wheel. If moving the caliper out radially 15-20mm gets you the clearance you need then you can quite easily find a 355-365mm brake setup that uses a caliper that has a slower profile and is more snug to the rotor than the std Brembos -
Not sure about the paint job but love the shape of the new cars

34Geeteetee Daily / Track Project
Roy replied to 34GeeTeeTee's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
L.E.G.E.N.D! I love my lil R32 but after about 15 years of enjoying it the car started to fall apart around the engine. Stress cracks in cradles, flogged bearings, bushings and cvs...lol the challenge for me is to get the thing back on the track and in another 15 years time again have to rebuild the car due to doing too many events! -
LOL Price? They all seem 6k. For me thats another 6-9 months of saving over an ebay piston/rod deal for 2k Baffles me that peple have the disposable income to shell out on stuff...by baffle i mean envious. I am still trying to piece my car back together after 2 years of being off the road and tired of being broke and spending all my spare cash on cars
-
I love the side pods and airbox
-
HUH? If ou need a new crank then perhaps....but if your crank is healthy than 2k on rods and pistons...whats the cheapest stroker kit these days?

Full Floating Brake Rotors
Roy replied to 260DET's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Duncan....an observation is that it only is an issue from time to time on setups over 355mm. i think up to that size you are fine and rarely have an issue. I have seen and know of some cars running 380mm rotors etc that have knock off as due to diam any hub deflection ends up with more movement at the rotors outer edge -
Have you asked the question why there is such a difference between your street car and your RS and RA? They are a similar shock so imagine there is either something in the springs you are running or perhaps the RS are still std valving as they come from Japan? It would be worthwhile asking the question. They definitely are a good solution as they work well on the street and can be made to work quite well on the track to!

My 1975 C110 Skyline Restoration
Roy replied to adznight's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Farking Ayy! Dying to see this thing progress along!!!! -
Probably the quitest 2:21 lap the track has seen. Team NSW singles let the team down. Did any Sydney folk restore our honour?
-
Yeh, because he was going to get sacked for your Stef and he was tired of hanging around racing Manor and Sauber. Very different if the car is half competitive and as a WDC you are not having to speak to your merits over a rookie
-
Surprised and disappointed as i loved his tenacity. But good on him. Proved himself alongsidevtwo greats in Michael and Louise and got a WDC for his efforts. God let Button get the call back to McLaren and let Alonso walk due to performance clauses!!!!
