Why increase the braking capacity of a vehicle that is still being driven on the road? You haven't increased the mass that needs to be decelerated (rb20det is going to be less then a passenger's weight difference in mass from the rb30e), nor have you increased the velocity of which you are decelerating from (if you have, you are speeding, and you shouldn't be).

AND, if you are putting yourself into situations on public roads that require better braking capacity then standard. Hurry up and get it over with so that you don't continue to drive on the road.

$3k budget is optimistic, good luck, if you make it with results that haven't already been proven, please take the time to make a detailed post of how you achieved it.

Dsturbd, if you are so adamant about people upgrading brakes before motors.... why do you allow yourself to sell motors to people who haven't?

lol, get off your high horse.

why did you have a 228rwhp r32 then? you don't need 228rwhp to drive around on the street.

ps, go explain your 'theory' to an engineer, they will likely tell you to upgrade your brakes. (much like the ADR's mention if you increase engine size/power, you need to use the brakes that came on the car with that engine.)

bit ironic about the pot calling the kettle black, eh?

I made a 228rwhp skyline because i wanted to do it for the experience so that i can be a keyboard warrior in threads like these when people pipe up their internet opinions.

So by applying YOUR 'theory' in a literal sense, any performance modification to an engine must be coupled with performance modification to the decelerating system...

if you increase engine size/power, you need to use the brakes that came on the car with that engine

Watch out boys, if you don't upgrade the brakes after installing a POD filter, Mitchy will report your dangerous ass to the ADR body.

PS, Mitchy, why did you do fully sick hecktic burnouts in the car you only JUST bought, (on public roads to boot), then place it for sale after wards? Hmm, shall i find a nice .jpg for you aswell ?

i fail to see what i do after i buy a car, and when i choose to sell it has to do with upgrading engines and brakes, but go for your life champ, i wouldn't mind a good burnout picture. (obviously it has my number plates, etc in it to prove it was me, and on a public road like you claim?)

and hey.. its not my 'theory', its the ADRs, and i dont write them...

hey boys cmon settle it!!!!

This is my thread bout my car member not a bitch fight ova wots been done or not....

Neways mitchy i am talkin to an engineer (best mate) to start with cos thats who im gettin to install the engine as well as give me an engineering certificate after the install is done so that i can rego the car with the engine in it!

but neways ive had a look at the car and its in nice condition, the brakes are fine to start with and im just gona get them shaved to start with then work on them wen i move onto stage 2 of my mods which is like upping the boost and internals etc....

haha cheers char

yeh thursday ill be going to me mates place and ill actually get pics in the light! only thing is id love to keep the drift r rims that r on it but cant :bunny: bugga!!!

So thursday im pikin up stock steelies and puttin them on hahahaha hmmmm :down:

neways it has a 3" straight through exhaust on it already so once engine is install i just have to set it up with a cat and ill be rite! Best mate says that it sounded hell beefy b4 the other rb20 came out, so cant wait to hear it meself hehehe

Yet you sell engine packages to people who haven't upgraded brakes...

So he's not allowed to sell an engine to someone, unless the buyer pinky swears to upgrade their brakes as well?

"Ohh Bart, please oh please will you sell me this engine. I promise to to bush my teeth, and clean my room and upgrade my brakes prior to driving on the roads! Please please please!!!"

hahahahahaha ur a bloody funny bugga ryan!

Cmon bois settle it ova pms not in my thread!

We all no, unless u no didly squot about cars, that brakes is one of the first things to upgrade while upgrading the engine!

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
