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.

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
