Yeh once the car is finished i will be buyibg some 18" rims for the street. Will be either satin black FR18s or bronze TC105s. If the TC05s i have fit then the new RE30s i have at my desk in Melb will get flogged off. :) I regret buying new rims which before i have had a chance to fit have become common :(

Opps OT. How about a well designed wheel will cool brakes better then a 18" chromie wheel :)

yeah I think the weds we have troy are the TC05. not the 005.

these are the 005s. (i like them too. weds are the goods. all of them! just a shame not all of them are forged, like the XD9s etc, look nice but cast...).

I think they should be ok. When I insert the spigot part of the drawing into the gap in the wheel up to around half way there is clearance, but if I push it in all the way the 'caliper' touches on the rim slightly.

I'd check it out in person to be 100% sure

Thanks for checking. I'll get the brakes fitted and trial fit as everyone is suggesting.

Well, my brakes turned up today. Pics attached but I'm sure we all know what they look like. Rear hat is aluminium which is nice. Everything came as it should have done. Now for the fitting next Monday and then 1000kms of normal driving before they get onto the track. I've got 2 weeks to do this in before I'm at Sandown.......

Funnily enough, the recommended (by the vendor) run-in procedure is simply 1000kms of raod driving. No hard stops. No getting them hot etc.......Seems contrary to what I've heard, but his view is that only old pads needed this approach and that only old blokes still advocate it.....Hope that's not too controversial.

Got to get the coils changed too. Hopefully get them tomorrow from Slide.

In my dreams. They're in the sanctuary and sanctity of my office. I'm wondering if she'll notice once they're fitted. The irony is she has absoluitely no interest in my bogan-mobile but she seems to spot stuff with a hawk eye........ :) and keeps mentioning some 'secret fund' she thinks I have..... :D

Must be brake week.

My stuff went in on the weekend. Can't say if it works yet as I haven't done the other end. Just the M/C & front rotors & callipers. They will shortly be hiding behind these puppies..... :)

So your stuff has gone to a good home, Troy.

Not sure if it helps in the braking stakes but the brand whore count is heading North. :D

Im running Project MU single piece slotted rotors with Project Mu Titan Kai Front Pads and Project Mu HC+ Rear Pad's. No troubles pulling it up on the street with 400 KW at the treads at my disposal. Abit noisy though :)

9 pages later here they are. Funily enough I'm more excited about how they look than feel right now. Pedal is slightly softer than was (probably more piston area with the 4 pot rears) but they seem to work great on light and medium application. No sqeal so far.......Obviously not had the chance to stand on them from high speed so news on that is TBC.

I feel like a kid who had too much cake at the party. Over-indulged, but completely satisfied......

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
