safe = yes, if done correctly. none of this home cordless drill rubbish.

Ghetto modification is based on:

1 x Cordless drill

1 x Angle grinder and 1 x big f***k off disk

1 x big hammer

1 x crowbar

374m of electrical tape

867 x cable ties

Follow these simple steps and you WILL run 9s and drift like Tsuchia!

.. how do you think im so awesome!?!.. :)

EUG do you have msn, same as you GTS4WD, i'd like to have a chat about them.

Nah mate.. Dont have much time for it.. sorry..

but feel free to shoot me through a PM if you need anything :P

Calipars will fit without any problems..

make sure you bleed the brakes after playing around with them to ensure there isnt any air in the system

I still think unless your doing trackwork or full song through twisties a pair of awesome brake pads should be sufficient for street driving.. especially if you have ABS

lol @ cable ties...

well i thought the idea to have more power was to do track work? i mean what good is 300HP when at the end of the day you're doing 100km/hr, same as the 50HP barina beside you on the freeway.

"well i thought the idea to have more power was to do track work? i mean what good is 300HP when at the end of the day you're doing 100km/hr, same as the 50HP barina beside you on the freeway." Lol that is funny, but also true, nah i'd like to update the brakes as well, i mean i have the parts sitting in my garage so why not?

How do i know if the braking system is ABS is there an easy way to tell?

I found out the my diff ratio is lower than a normal gts-t so i have alot of acceleration of the mark which is great. I would like to do a bit of track work, hillc climbs, circuit races and the odd run down the 1/4! So i think brakes should be done?

GTS4WD you said "Calipars will fit without any problems.. " Now is this with the new ghetto style rotors put on or the NA33 Rotors left on the car?

The calipars will fit in the DBA rotors without a problem.. just ensure that the with is the same on each..

then bobs your uncle.. well.. i dunno.. do you have an uncle called bob?

I would definately get DBA's if your planning on doing all of the things you want to do.. id suggest even get a set of slotted and drilled ones as an upgrade.. save you from buying them later and spending money now on stocko ones..

but thats just me.. :P

well actually i do have an unlce called bob which is kinda funny n weird! lol i like the sound of the drilled and slotted, but yeaha being a uni student money is rare, so i was thinking maybe just stock DBA rotors with gts-t calipers...its sufficent enough correct??

Any of you guys have an alternator for me!! i need one!

*hi5* to the uni club...

that is both weird and creepy about the uncle.

slotted dba/rda's are cheap as chips - you're only looking a few bucks more than the standard replacements (better again if you've got club sponsorship or group buy).

more than sufficient for any sort of mild application.

haha yeah i'd like to do it - but it'd have to be a project for a race car or something. as much as i like the RB motors, they are getting way too dated to keep up with all the new tech. i'd have to sink $10K to be happy with it.

what you can look for in the brakes:

- inspect rubber seals, no cracks etc. depends on how long they've been sitting around

- check for rust, pistons moving freely, nothing seized.

- make sure you have all the necessary pins and backing plates

- banjo bolts and nipples in good order

- make sure the calipers themselves have a good flush of fluid and aren't leaking

Hey guys i know there is another thread open by PVA_glue about braking issues however since this is about my car, thought i'd keep it in my section, i have the gts-t front rotors drilled to 5-stud and the gts-t calipers. I don't have all the money in the world right now but i really would like to fit these breaks onto my car.

1. will the calipers (gts-t) fit on the GTS rotors? are the rotors too small in diameteR?

2. is it cheaper/better for my to just by blank DBA rotors drilled to 4stud, or redrill the 5-stud ones to suit 4 stud.

2. or should i do the whole thing (conversion) eg buy new hubs etc, this way i already have the rotors etc...

just something to keep the mind going....

regards hamo!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
