Atomicbomberman had some impressive brembo brake calipers with him one night. Ferrari ones or some such. Dan or Martin might remember. He was putting them on his 32GTR and they looked like MORE than enough.

yeah somthing like f40s or f50s would be great! they seem dear for what they are though..hmm EVO ones are cheap, wonder how much adapting they would take.

PS, Skins my boss is going to give you a call, im not sure what jobs are on offer atm but he does want to talk to you so i guess thats a start!

Cool. Going up the hospital now so hopefully calls me at home later this sarvo.

I told him you might be unavailable due to hospital stuff, he wasnt worried, he will keep calling till he gets you.

hey guys just wondering which brake pads do you thinks better the EBC redstuff or the project mu B-spec/Type HC+. (value for money??) this is for my r33 ill be upgrading my rotors to slotted and want to change my brakes after i get my full tune, the power that ill hopefully get is around 350rwkw or + depending on how my fuel set up will go.

haven't used project mu's my self, but EBC reds are the bomb diggity

just trying to look around for places that sell the ebc red stuff if you have used them before how much did u pay and where from?

Hawk and RB74s are good too

I got em in a group buy on here:

I haven't used either of them, but I do hear good things about RB74. QFM (Queensland Friction Materials) sell the RB74 pads cheaper than race brakes. They are the same pads, just badged as QFM instead of Race Brakes

Yeah I rate the RB74s very highly, And I have never used the hawks but Noel does and they cop a hiding on his cars ha ha

Cant remember what i paid anymore though

ahh true thanks, ill see how i go until after my full tunes done.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? :P

Or right click "Copy link location"/"Copy shortcut" and paste in to a brower window.

second method will get me by until i get the geeks to come and fix it, Cheers!

Dan said if you buy them through Ferrari they'll cost you your left nut and first born, but through brembo themselves will cost you about a 10th of the price.

Thristian owes us an appearance tonight I reckon

+1. TWO cars to pick from now. No excuses left for not showing up :)

haven't used project mu's myself, but EBC reds are the bomb diggity

I'll be favoring communism when I need new brake pads :P

The greens just earned my vote this election:

http://apcmag.com/australians-standing-up-...ens-senator.htm

http://www.zdnet.com.au/filter-no-vote-gua...s-339303081.htm

Seriously, this is possibly the most sensible thing to come out of a politician's mouth, EVER.

Maybe the greens might have a chance of actually winning this time. Enough people hate the filter idea. And everyone seems to hate K.Rudd (even though they voted for him) but no one wants to vote liberal to get rid of him. I still don't care enough to vote though. You want my vote?

yeah even then they are some where around the 3k mark just for fronts i think, Im gonna investigate my alcon options though, they could work out really cheap through the race team.

Definitely. But remember to use preferences when voting for greens, they preference to labour :P

Preference to pirate party, sex party, gamer party, and basically everyone else instead.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
