Yeah, I have found WRX's are either slightly modified or heavily modified. They have crap gearboxes and driveshafts, so you usually see close to stock examples (FMIC, Filter, Exhaust etc) to Extreme versions (over 260KW - These require strengthened boxes, stonger driveshafts, Engine Internals etc etc) - This really is a testament to the quality of Skylines.. My r33 is Heavily modified (Forgies, HKS turbo, FCONV, etc) but the gearbox/driveshaft is totally stock and coping easily...

Long Live the skyline!

beat a 2001 wrx yesturday. there launch is nearly unbeatable. i have only had the car for 4 or so weeks so im still learning but my gear changes i thought were pretty decent with small chirps right up through 3rd pulled away quite easy at top of 3rd.

won quite easy in the end

had a run with a rex last night, we both cruised off the mark, then went for it through first and second. when i threw her into second i started pulling carlenghts on him. Hahaha so funny, then he pulls up next to me with his chick in the car (who was looking over smiling) and goes 'oi, mate, my other car would smash that thing'. me and my mate just wound the window up on him as he kept talking. hahahahaha

yep with few mods and good launch Rexs are damn quick!

doesnt take much to get them into 12s.

rexs or GSRs that you guys have beaten are the one with shi t drivers. or they are relitively stock while skylines have around

220KW at the fly like most our cars do.

but belive me with good drivers and mild mods like 3"zorst and FMIC they will launch about 2 car length and may hold the gap until 400m mark against us.

allthis info are from pure experience myfriends :P good ol days

    • TBH it's almost always due to inaccurate/misinterpreted use case, but this is not just brakes, it's everything. Dose's above post would be unacceptably shit, in my experience. When I say "track day performance" I mean 30 minutes of continuous hot lap braking with no cooldowns, no fade, no letting up. Your use case is paramount when selecting... well... anything.
    • Really comes down to user requirements, I have found my 324mm 350Z Brembo front set up more than sufficient for track use, especially for Wakefield Park with good brake pads. At Sydney Motorsport Park the GP Circuit can be a bit taxing on the braking system, I find by the 3rd hot lap there's rapid degradation in braking performance but at that point non semi slick tyres are about to give up anyway. And yes, the brakes are effective, slowing me down from 230km/h+ each time going into turn 1. Street use, it's more than enough for street activities. Most of the time people complain their brakes aren't sufficient, it's due to incorrect bleeding, poor choice of friction material, or faulty master cylinders.
    • I'm about to sell my Attakd kit actually, so if you want a budget 2nd hand kit they definitely do work, though make sure you update your BMC when/if you do. Just keep in mind that buying pads (for any aftermarket kit) can be a bit more complicated when you have an aftermarket caliper. Not all brands make pads in the shapes and sizes you may want, no matter what you end up with.
    • Hey guys, I had an R32 M/T RB20DET in my S13 quite a while ago, however I have replaced the chassis harness on the S13 and picked up a new motor (A31 A/T RB20DET according to the ECU) and I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out the dash wiring (specifically the black/pink wire for the fuel pump).  It seems this A31 loom is quite different at the dash connector and there is not even a black/pink wire anywhere on the engine loom (on one of the 5 dash plugs that are there), or on the ECU for that matter.  Every pinout I have seen is totally different from the actual wires on my ECU and i'm at a loss on how to wire this thing into my S13....     Any ideas?   In summary : A31 A/T engine loom/ecu pinouts are different than any pinouts i have seen online (specifically around pin 18 Fuel Pump Relay) 
    • What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.
