I have a few problems with this story:

1: - like the skyline wouldnt cain the WRX

2: - if the WRX was winning (ie the skyline was loosing) how did it swerve (obviously from behind - otherwise he wasnt loosing) and make the car in front loose control. I would have thought that only the car infront could make that move unless a car behind clips the rear bar.

3: - like the skyline wouldnt cain the WRX (i realise this piont is repeated, but its such a big error it deserves to be mentioned twice)

Thought I'd make a point here. If the guy in the Skyline was behind, but not a full car length behind, all he had to do was swerve & tap the other car. Generally the front end of a car is more stable at speed than the rear. Just look at some of the tin-top racing & 9 times out of 10 it's the car in front that goes into the bushes.

Alternatively they could have been slowing down from an even higher speed & the Skyline caught up.... If it was a Skyline, I'm still confused as to what's the truth here.

^^^^^

in the pictures on the link given it shows, a grey hound bus, a old camry, a smooshed rex and an ugly looking dark green soarer with an unpainted bodykit.

the only maroon car on there was the (now, convertible) camry.

anything that involves races in the paper, it seems like it HAS to be a skyline even if it isnt true.

cambodians and vietnamese's have been rival gangs up that way. so maybe one car was running from the other and thats why he smashed into the rex to take him out. or am i thinking to much to be a newspaper reporter....

You go to the top of the class Kye :) ........let me know if you're ever looking for a career change.

Wouldn't suprise me if that was spot on with all the stuff in the papers in the last fortnight about these 2 rivals.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
