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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
