I can't compare the Hawk's (HPS) to anything other than stock brakes but they are definatley better than stock and lots less dust. I managed to source mine over the net and bought when the exchange rates were better. Managed to get 2 x fronts and 1 x rear for $270 Aust, I noticed now that the fronts are $97 US before freight and then the exchange rate, ouch.

I have to get some new pads for the r32 GTR calipers that are about to go on. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Andy

So what do you want for the front HAWKS???

Andy my brother has some Ultimates on a wicked R33 GTST with stock 4spot Nissan calipers, braided lines & for a car punching 368KW at the rear treads they hauled OK.

I have someone else deciding if they want to buy the spare set I have at the moment. If he decides not to buy them you will be offered first refusal. I am selling them for $95 Aust.

Thanks for the Brake Pads Andy, great to meet a fellow enthusiast....should have the new slotted rotors in 2morrow & the car back on the road.....might even have the opportunity to meet up on Thursday evening with the rest of you.....if anyone is keen.

Now the only thing left to do is lock in some Dyno time & start mapping!!!! Did anyone attend the dyno day at Unique last weekend???

PS. Just saw a dear friends new Ride!!!! Wow Premium Silver R35 GTR, spectacular machine......Wonder if the VR38DETT slots into the STAG :banana:

Cheers

VR38DETT.htm

I was at the dyno day, TT, but I didn't put my car on the dyno. I was out there mainly to hlp out and sell some SAU merchandise, etc.

Typically, I was the only Stagea owner there. I'm guessing Alex would have come along, but I think he had prior commitments.

Trying to get there tomorrow myself......might have to work another Double shift though.

Damm rotors didnt arrive today so looks like they'll be in 2morrow & some bedding in is called for gents.....how many of you go through the Old Pacific HWY when heading up North?

There's usually quite a few who do the Old Pacific. I usually head up the freeway, but seeing as it was "zei201" Ian's first time on the Coastie cruise, I went with them on the Old Pacific last week too. It's been resurfaced in quite a few areas, so it's quite nice to drive now.

Is there another road other than the old one......I heard that only Volvo's take the new one! :D

I will defiantly be on the Old PH.....hopefully I can control myself this time :P

yeah the old pac drive isnt bad at all compared to the old surface! im happy to go either way. if its raining ill take the freeway

C'mon dood if its raining you should definitelty take the Old road...give the 4wd a good work out :P

Hey Tony, How are those new rotors and pads going?

Any news on the programing of the ECU?

Cheers

Hi Andy,

The brakes work a treat...New set of slottled RDA rotors, the front HAWKS ,fresh Brake fluid and give the calipers a coat of heat resistant paint.....she's good as new!!!!

I spoke to the tuner today and he still needs some time before he's willing to work on the AXIS....this guys pretty meticulous and doesnt take any short cuts, if he could get his hands on a donor ecu that's willing to be sacrificed in the name of R&D....this would definitely speed the process up for all of us and explore greater avenues like potentially remapping shift points on the Gearbox.

Doing a piggy back is no problem....but there is more to be had with the remapping of the stock ECU and he's very confident there are good gains to be had.

To give you an idea he tuned a stock BMW 335i TWIN TURBO to 237RWKW.... remeber these came out with 225kW and 400nm at the flywheel, so we should potentially see between 180-200kw at all fours....time will tell!!!!

About 132awkw is what I got my car dynoed, fully stock with no power mods.

Btw Tony, have you put in the cooler yet? I'm keen to see how the tune went as well too :)

Eugene

Hi Eugene,

Any reason why you had the car dynoed in 3rd gear?

The intercooler wasnt a straight fit, there was some trimming of the reo bar needed for it to fit nicely.....there's no real noticable gain but we'll find out stats soon enough once we start mapping which unfotunately is taking a little longer than expected.

Some pics of the provisonal mounting of the cooler :P

Cheers

Looking good.

Hey Tony,

To be honest Im not sure what gear they did the dyno, I never asked them about this.

And the cooler looks great. I've found in the past with my other cars (S15 and GT-R) that you've got to trim the reo bar and also the front bar as well. Now that I'm putting a fatter GReddy drag cooler into the gt-r, i'll need to trim more.

Good luck with the mods and tuning. I can't wait till you post up the results!

Btw, I need to get a new exhaust as my stock one is starting to fall apart. Can I ask what Fuji system you have on yours? Is it a Legais-R?

thanks

Yep its the Legalis R.... Once everything is ready to go and we can start mapping, I'l also get a few other Vq25det Stagea owener to do a power run so we can compare results off the same dyno.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
