Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Here ya go, this is what happend at Mallala.

Yeah. That crack would have formed on the drilled hole and worked its way outward and then once it'd reached the end of the disc, it would've started to crack inward. Good thing u spotted it. I dont know what happens when discs shatter but I can imagine it wouldnt be nice...

Thats the reason why I don't like crossed drill seen "cracking" happen a bit but was only with the 4000 series..but thats only what I have seen..

But I like slotted works for me and when there are no slots anymore you know its time for new rotors :) I am really hard on brakes as well so my rotors have done well to put up with me from general driving and about 10 trackdays/supersprints :)

Have any of you SA peeps heard about "Superlap"??

http://superlap.com.au/

Was a bit disappointed to not see any SA workshops on the entry list :) Would think that there would be some really good workshop cars/ individual owner cars to represent SA floating around :)

It's the first time a "timeattack" event to happen in Oz and we are following in the Japs footsteps ..Going to be off tap to see so many Oz cars coming out to battle for the fastest cars in Oz!

slotted is all you need for gas evacuation.....don't touch X-drilled even from factory!

Yours are dimpled Mark which is fine but still not necessary imo.

some are actually ok pete. but im talking about the uber expensive discs that have the holes added while the metal is still red hot and annealing.... metal gets most of its bonded durability during the cooldown, so as long as the holes are done during the construction, its generally a lot safer. Also most professional brands dont actually put the holes in on the outer edge of the rotor, only on the inside and middle (being that a disc rotates a lot faster on the outside and thats where all the brake stresses are). Think of Samurai Swords as a point in case. The swordsmiths will coat the back end of the sword in clay while its still red hot and then they'll cool the blade with water. The blade edge stays hard cause its cooled quicker which is good for sharpness, however its very brittle. The back side of the blade is soft and flexible and can withstand the shock of the saber actually hitting something (or being hit). Without the annealing no samurai sword would be able to withstand even a flesh contact without being damaged. Folding was only ever done because of the exceptionally low quality steel in Japan, they had to do it...

Tho I do agree with you... Braking effects are like trying to rip the brake disc in 2 pieces, the side leaving the pad and the side entering the pad.. having a drilled hole is just asking for trouble, and considering most of us are just doing daily driving/occasional track then you'd be bonkers to stick cross drilled rotors on and then go track em ;P The DBA's have failed for a lot of people and theres an entire thread dedicated to them. RDA for my money, perhaps the dimpling is overkill but I wouldn't say no to the extra speed reduction (esp since I don't track the car).

Sean/Boostworx runs in the improved production with a little 808 I believe it is.

In his old rx7 I believe his best time around mallala was a low 1min 17?

Does he!!..I know a few cars in improved production over here in NSW

I am not up with good times around Malalla, but I seen Munro did a 1:19 in his beast so a 1:17 from a Old RX7 cant be half bad :)

Nice..I am itching to see this car in the flesh! Andrew seems pretty cool as into the motor sport pretty heavily! HI5!!

My semis are nearly on wear ban and the A048S become greasy after 5 hard laps not up to 15minute sessions..but makes it interesting

I think he should invest in lap timer and in car camera! :miner:

haha would of like to see the Lambo drivers face with a GTR coming up behind him!! Stalking is fun ! :yes:

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      My BMW 335i

      By PranK · Posted

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
