Real pretty brakes for a car that has done less kms then mine the last 3 years.

Awesome setup, the water cooling cant be a bad thing for a full weight R34 GTR that needs to stop and stop. Interesting to see if they fit inside your rims

LOL i am pumped that your car is looking good for being back on the road

Look awesome

More pics of the calipers please?!

Disc specs?

Love the colour scheme of AP's, but after a while IMO they can look scabby. Here's my rears, painted to match engine bay

Rears;

Hey Steve, are they enduro calipers that accomodate a 35mm thick rotor??? Where did you score them from?

Pure porn...............

Hey mate, long time no speak, hope you're well

Yeah they'll take a big rotor, ive got some v8supercar sized ones downstairs waiting (about 10 sets), id have to go measure, but im pretty sure they take 38mm, same as fronts. May be only 35mm, eitherway, its better than most sets of fronts out there and its for the rears :D

Got them from that v8supercar team that got bought and liquidated ages ago in Queensland, a VERY helpful SAU'er was able to be my eyes and ears on site as soon as the doors opened. Once they were paid for i drove up and got them about a week later, by the time he was finished there was only crappy stuff left, lucky he got in early.

You should see the fronts, AP say they're good for up to 400mm x 38mm. Ill post pics when i get them back from the painters. Got ex v8supercab discs for them, just cant find rims in 18'' to fit over them without going TE37's (exchange rate is the concern)

Shame they're not watercooled though :)

Hows yours going?

That's awesome Steve, your cas is going to be an animal when it's finished considering all the goodies you have gathered. Pics of fronts when you get them back OR BAN!!

Have you got the hats and adaptors made up yet?

TE37's or LMGT4's would be the go for these big f@*#ers...

Not much happening with my car, has had the front resprayed and a new motor put in it that has done 200 street k's.

Sitting under a cover at the moment, looking at building a dedicated track car, similar to what I have now but 250kgs lighter and not as shiny.

Oh, and Troy (ylwgtr2), nice brakes!!

Oh, water cooled. Very nice.

First time for me there. Looks like an oil cooler haha.

I've got quite a few sets of brakes :)

Set of 8 piston brembos with Carbon fibre discs and pads :D

Not good for street use though, only for high temperature.

Light as a feather.

I'll post some pics when i have time.

btw, custom brackets are a very costly road.

Nah dont have adaptors or hats yet, why, know someone who can do it for a good price?

TE's are the fav choice, just waiting for a decent priced local set, or ill go new in a few months

New motor? RB30 is it? :)

Your car is WAY too nice for circuit duties mate, i know a lot of people say things like that, but i mean it :P

Nah, don't know anybody that makes hats and adaptors, maybe ask Roy...

Nah not RB30, same as before but a little more powerful and a little more responsive.

I know what you mean, hence why I haven't been to the track since the tidy up, looking at building a track only car...

*Awaits pics*

:D

I have a cnc mill here at work to make brackets so just the cost of the stock for me there :)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
