that GTR came 1.5seconds from the track record set by derik pingle in his Lola F1. pretty damn good to stay that close to the Lola!!! it was awsome to watch tho, he was with a small team of skylines at the gatton sprints wasnt he???

CJ

there was an outfit there with 2 or 3 lines, One of them was a 33 with a smallblock shoehorned in. The giant car was independant of these guys tho. They didnt appear at qr on the weekend either. A huge disapointment to me as I really wanted to watch that car for more than one corner a la gatton. No matter, theres always next time.

Well from my last few enquires:

Stoptech 332*32 hatted rotors + ST40 calipers + braided lines + pads = $2280US approx $2850 Aust. Delivered. Note this is ex US, I haven't got a price from the local distributor as they need to email the States.

Alcon 335*28 hatted rotor + 4 pot caliper + lines + pads+fluid + $3808+gst+freight ex PWR direct.

AP Racing CP5200 + 330x32 hatted rotors + lines & pads = $3200 + freight. EX Racebrakes (pick one)

The endless stuff (6 pot on R33 hatted 324 rotors) is listed as Y436,590 plus freight. Ex Greenline.

So they appear to be reasonably priced to me.

Oh, and Roy, I have delicate little feet. Like a ballerina.

Apparently the new distributor for Stoptech gear is now V-Sport. Tony who I spoke to was very helpfull & knowledgeable.

Also, from what I understand there is a Brembo kit for a Z32 with a 332x32 rotor & an F40 caliper. Has anyone used these?

LOL..you seemed like you were a bit disappointed at dinner with your times up until the last session. I was stoked to see you held your breath for the last session and sucked out a great PB :)

By my timer i did the 1:52.04. So they gave me 0.04sec on my quickest lap. I would have lved if they gave me 0.05sec. 1:51.999 sounds a lot faster.

They are very beautiful. Can I ask who you bought them from?

Got them thru Perth Brake Parts in Kewdale

It was a toss up between these and a set of AP Racing, personally I preferred the AP Racing Calipers / Disks, but went for the Brembos on account of percieved originality......

djr81 i finally checked our rotors and they are 343mm X 32mm fronts....backs are same dia but thinner...didnt check width sorry.

Thanks man, I sort of suspected they might have been. The 343mm size is about all you can stuff under a 17" rim. Even then it works out to be 13.5" diameter. Which leaves a nominal 1.75" on each side. I say nominal because there isn't anything like that amount of room.

actually i checked the rears again...with a measuring device other then my eyes....backs are 323 X 1"(bout 25.4mm)

I measured fronts when we just put new rotors on, and i eyed them off with the backs and they looked similiar, well 20mm smaller in diameter they actually are.

Recap Fronts= 343mm X 32mm

Backs= 323mm X 25.4mm

Alcon monoblock 4pistons front and rear.

Run SBS Dual carbons up front and Carbon Ceramics on the arse.

My apologies for the fark around with the half arsed info.

Doesn't seem to me to be past it's use by date.

:D cheers :thumbsup:

PS; well done to Dave and the BSM boys, all that hard work paid off.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
