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......

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
