Hey guys,

Just wondering, currently have DBA 4000 slotted rotors up front only..

What is the next best upgrade for 16 inch rims?

I say 16inch cause...

I have my street driving rims, my track rims with semi's and my motokhana/drift rims which are all 16 inch

Is there any point going for the rear slotted also?

Would upgrading the whole lines to braided be any benefit also?

thoughts?

Cheers,

Chris

I managed to fit them under r32 gtst rims but i had to shave some material off the caliper to do it. There was absolutely no clearance between the caliper and the spokes or the outside.

What is the issue with the current setup anyway? fade? soggy pedal?

Lines will help, as will a master cylinder brace.

What pads and fluid are you running?

Duncan - :( shut up!!!

Ok umm... yeah 215rwkw now and by next week with final tune going for 230rwkw

Im just getting some ideas for later to upgrade the brakes..but yeah at the moment they are ok.

I had alot of issues last day at OP, boiled fluid so I have some...I forget the name of the fluid however the boiling point is like 340degrees and is from America.

Pads are Bendicts Advance I think.

tyres on the road are fed 535's and track are the r888's

Yeah Ive heard alot of people say the braided lines help.

I guess what I should do is go for better pads and the lines.

cheers guys :domokun:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
