you are a champ :spank:

send me a pm with your details and I'll send you some cash now. cheers.

I think you guys are forgetting that the more pads you put in a package, the higher the freight charge is going to be....

Titanium is pretty heavy remember :P

:spank:

Titanium is actually pretty light. Which is one of the reasons why it is used.

Check the Shadow Can Am car. Number 22 unsurprisingly enough.

I think bass junky was being sarcastic... seeing as how he's an engineeer I'm fairly certain he knows the relative weight of titanium! and actually I didn't think titanium was light as such, just that because of it's strength it can be used in thinner sheets for a given application than you could with alluminium etc. so you get the weight saving because you are using less of it than you would of other materials.

I used to get sarcasm, but since this whole interweb thing happened I can't pick it any more. Much like Ford Prefect. :spank:

Broadly steel density is 7860 kg/m3.

Titanium is about 4400kg/m3.

As for strength well it depends on what type of alloy, but not dissimilar in its range to steel.

Much of its gain/utility is at high temperatures. Aluminium, for example, is complete rubbish at high temps.

Lastly, wtf is it with engineers & Skylines. Am I just conforming to a stereotype being one & having the other, or is there something more too it than that?

You lot should harden up & get some castlated pistons.

can't wait to get these. then I'll fit some hiclones into my brake ducts too just to be sure. maybe a peter brock fuel polariser to up the power now that my brakes will be so kick ass.

Hey Baron, seeing as you are such an expert. If I fit a magnetic fuel expander to my car will it upset the uptake of Orgone energy through the polariser?

you need a brotec MFE-con. it controls the magnetic fuel expander maps to keep it all in harmony with your cars natural feng shui.

and yes I'm a sucker for Ti. I even have a Top Secret Titanium ash tray. :spank:

baron you are a stroker...

lol

can't believe you clowns ordered Ti shims.

do me a favour, when they come, get a gas soldering iron (or one of those little gas brazing jobbies), give one side of the shim a nice going over (say, around 600 degrees), then tell me how hot the other side is

lol

how about I rest one on your nipple whilst you're sleeping then put the gas torch on your knee cap. then try it again without the ti shim and see if there is any appreciable difference? :) or if you will just admit that you are jealous of them we can team up and do it to brisby instead. your call.

What about HPC coating(not sure if thats right like they do with exhaust manfolds you get what I mean :P) the shims? Wouldn't that give you a better thermal resistance than just bare metal on metal...whatever that metal might be?

i saw that andrew, though still skeptical - it's their site pic

would like to be proved wrong though, if it works i'll get on board!

No, the magic beans are ours, you can go spend 5k on a bigger brake kit :)

Even though the theory works, i still don't believe it to much, but we'll see hey.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
