well no oil in the sump....it was presumably in the head and spilling out the breathers. gary's restrictor specs sounds like a good place to start. what oil pump btw?

DRS eh? I thought I was watching formula ford at phillip island. whoever is 2nd on the last lap wins.

take it back to Justjap and swap it for the right one?

yeah that is normal. there is generally about 5mm preload that you have to push back againt

at the risk of trying to answer the original question.....I do not know for sure, but I cannot imagine any circumstance where a professional manufacturer would drill open holes through a sealed part of the intake. sounds much more like dodgy prior installation than original build

under the plenum on the chassis rail where hicas lived

have you tried to adjust the idle screw on the AAC to match the target idle on the PFC?

it's far more likely to be a bleeding issue, start there. If you push the pedal 3 or 4 times in a row does the travel to engage the brakes get shorter each time, or does it stay long?

so...how much was hack beaten by this week?

they are exactly what I would buy if budget was not an issue. They are a thoroughly developed and tested caliper with an excellent range of pads available. Well that is pretty much how I felt about the g4 ones, there is a little more travel but, to me, nowhere near enough of a difference to go through the pain of a master cylinder change. The pedal is still perfectly progressive and reliable, you very quickly forget what it used to feel like and it becomes normal BTW re potential bias changes....on the street its not an issue unless it is really screwed (eg 1 tonne ute in the wet). On the track it depends on what sort of suspension etc you are running. On very firm suspension you would benefit from more rear bias, even from stock. But under any sort of normal suspension the static weight is around 66/33 front in a GTR, and that moves to more like 80/20 or more (close to 0 sometimes) under hard braking. With that sort of weight you do not want rearward bias.

ever since we all agreed webber is a hack, this thread has delivered

yeah that was boz's old car. nothing wrong with that starlet either in a straight line, or around corners. damn thing only uses 3 wheels most of the time

lol no chance.....it is under the plenum on a gtr. just imagine a piece of braided line 300mm long with a 1/8npt (or whatever it is) on on end, and a t piece on the other. cable tied to the brake lines above the chasis rail and under the brake booster next to the firewall. works well...very reliable in a car that spends plenty of time bashing around

yes, that's how I've done it on my race car. braided line about 300mm from the standard pressure sender to a t piece mounted under the brake master cylinder. Been running for years without leaks and senders are working fine. the only trick was...I wasn't happy with remote mounting the temp sender as I wasn't sure I would get an accurate reading without flow past it. My temp sender is mounted on the remote filter adapter plate instead

yes, 2 tips. 1...wear mechanics gloves. you are an excellent chance of slicing your hands on the edge of the boot floor. 2...use something (eg socket extension, large flat bladed screwdriver) and a hammer to start moving it. It can stay tight for 1-2 turns so just take it easy. And when you put it back together, go carefully with the seal.

nope, no need to. It's the overall area of the pistons that matter, I haven't done the numbers but 8x small pistons is about the same as 4x stock pistons. how are the wilwood pistons for area compared to stock? Are you happy with master cylinder/pedal feel and front/rear balance

lol, nothing like a competition to start a storm about rules. Reminds me why we don't have prizes at dyno days anymore

pretty much anyone....we're a friendly club. you can't come in my car though

yeah good call on the balaclava...it is optional for racing (not national) but required at rallies. also interesting his hand were burned, I'm sure he had compliant gloves on. I wonder if gloves should haev more than 1 layer. good to see he is OK, I guess the operation is to put skin from his bum onto his hands?

strange, but good to know early I guess. pull the gear out of the oil pump...maybe it will fall into 3 pieces. was the pump new?

I was disappointed both times I've done 1000m at an airport. yes 3rd gear wheelspin is funny. but no it's not really much quicker than 400m. perhaps this surface was OK, I did both mine on Goulburn airport. Lots of gravel and diesel.

lol...fess up with pics mate.

nasty. obviously either master cylinder or ABS module - master cylinder would be cheaper to replace with a new one (or rebuild).

it won't necessarily be a problem. The ATTKD calipers are narrower front to rear than the factory ones by a few mm so it may not hit. I'd recommend taking the old caliper and disc off (leave the brake line attached), and dummy fit the new ones with wheel over. You may be pleasantly surprised
