WOOOOOT, Happy to hear it Andy.

im not entirely happy with pedal feel...seems I might need a bigger brake cylinder...and like you say some braided lines but even still they are heaps better than stock! The control is awesome, you can keep them on max braking with out locking so much easier for some reason :)

Brembos are designed with even brake pad application in mind... Hence why its harder to look them up...

Causing max pad to disc application, causing max friction...

Brembo = good

Interesting!

Good indeed!

32 GTR's have ABS so I can imagine 33's do as well.

Hey noel, is it raining out that way? Theres a test n tune on tonight...

Just counting the hours till i can go out to the bank Ian, No rain at all mate. cya out there.

Do the R33 gtr's come with ABS brakes. Would be interesting to see how The Brems went on ASB.

They do but alot of people I know dont like it that much....I really dislike the ABS on my R33 GTST..and now having driven a non ABS car with good brakes I think you are better off with out it!

I will let you see for your self tomorrow but

Sounds like the brems are an ABS unit unto themselves Andy. mumble mumble...more damn money for brembos now, :)

Yeah..but way more effective! I think the ABS cuts in too early!

From 60 I hit the Brakes as hard as I could and all I got out of the fronts was a slight shudder so it locked up slightly...and that was when I was trying to make them lock up doing every thing wrong on purpose!

Try it on a rainy day after it hasnt rained for 3 weeks then tell me if they are good :) or your tyres are shizen With the standard calipers a set of slotted rotors with some decent pads will just be as good as brembos plus you have got to look at 2 factors here, how often you are using them what power are you using them with what application are your main use for them ie: street, drift, drag. There is an acceptible bracket there before you have to fork out for brembo brakes, not only there are some similar packages which are in par with brembos so keep that in mind :) thats my comment for the day

:)

Oh my 2c worth abs is shizen as well better off with no abs i say and use your experience that is another thing on this matter :)

Oops i forgot to mention suspension and tyres will have a big effect on braking as well so consider these aswell and merry easter/good friday to you all

Heres my 2c coming from actual driving experiences

I had standard calipers with DBA 4000 rotors and good pads, I had no where near the braking control I do now, I fact it was woeful and pinacle braking was really hard to pick...now it is easy to do with out thinking. Further more they could over heat after a decent drive in the mountains let alone at a track day.

And the Brembos I got were half the price of a Grex or similar kit...in fact they were cheaper than G4s!

Rahhh andy i did quote depending what application and oh wtf half price discount grrr 2nd hand or new Damn i should have edited my first post Main principle here would be needing to consider what "application" it would be used for, as i would image yes the brembos would help during trackdays or leisurely drives through the mountain due to disc size and caliper size as well. but my mistake was based on main street use there would be real no acceptional need for them unless the overall power was highish as would be needed in most street applications that if the power was substantial you would have to indeedly invest into a decent brakinging pakage. Bah ill shutup now :|

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
