jake needs better brakes..anyone have an idea on how much dba slotted rotors cost for an r31?, i'd usually ask on the 31 forums, but the tab for sau was open so i thought i'd put it to good use for once.

:P

I guess there are no haters on here at the moment!!

I definitely don't hate NS, but observe that the vast majority of posters 1). are under 18 years of age, and tend to show their lack of maturity in their comments and posts, and 2). the vast majority of users actually don't even own a car - yet are happy to shell out advice and opinions as though they are gospel.

SAU users used to tend to be exclusively older, as the price of the cheapest import Skyline was $30k+. However, these days I feel a large part of the deterioration of SAU is the fact that a turbo Skyline can be had for well under $10k, and this opens the forum up to a myriad of younger users, who tend to type before they think on occassion.

Another big factor is the clampdown by SAPOL on imports scaring people away from the scene, or more significantly forcing users to be much more private in their discussions of mods/cars/cruises, which makes it seem as if less goes on around here.

Just my observations.

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
