^^ does he even drive it apart from onto a dyno :/

hahaha yeah

they just did it with all stock stuff and he couldnt brake so they upgraded to the slotted rotors and better pads and that made him stop lol mind u this was all on the street too!

the thing is luke, i wont be tracking or dragging her, she will be dyno queen and streeter.

so ill be going with Brembos and maybe EBC Red Stuff brake pads......

Brembos are great, but make sure u get a large rotor to match those sweet calipers

and avoid the EBC Red's... theyre track pads

if you're streeting, stick to EBC greens/bendix ultimates or the QFM pads

ive been told to stay away from EBC greens cause they are too noisy and create alot more brake dust than the reds?

I used Red Stuff on my R and they were brilliant.

Very clean on the wheels too (ceramic pads), unlike Bendix, and can handle both street (low coefficiency) and the ocassional track day without fade (high temp handling).

Were a bit noisy for the 1st 1000km but quietened down eventually and grabbed those rotors hard and fast!

i prefer the dont need to brag about being able to whip your ass at the lights approach.

but then it might get 1 or 2 bogans to accept they cant beat you and not rev you at the lights

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
