ok so before the next track day go and get about 3 litres of $4 brake fluid and flush the system well before putting in the Motul RBF600 in.....also might see the condition of the pads as well and then see if it needs changing and what to get next

Let me know when Krishy lol

Your just too good at reading my mind Lukey Boy

if the motul stuff your going to use Krishy is synthetic don't use mineral oil to flush your system use the same type of oil albeit a cheap brand

Thats a good idea

if anyone is after hardcore brake pads, i am an authorised agent in SA for Endless braking products :) (Car Toys is the other reseller)

PM me if you need more info

cheers - Kim

how much for these hardcore breaks kim? and brand/ name website if u have

I've asked my mechanic that and he said it's not worth doing, should flush with the same fluid you intend to run in the system. Took 3 litres (BMW fluid $10 at trade per 500ml that has a boiling point of 302c) to completely flush my previous boiled fluid out (brake pedal to the firewall last Mallala before the course).. aprox 500ml per corner and whatever left over to fill ABS unit, lines and master cylinder resouvior. Castrol make a cheap DOT4 called Super Response (or Super DOT4 I can't remember), has a boiling point of 280c and was about $10 per 500ml at Repco last I looked.

Ahh ok then...so you reackon that i should flush my system with Motul RBF600 if thats what i am going to use....Damn that might get expensive lol.....3 Litres to do a complete flush aye......

first pic i have seen of supra's in attendance, started to think SAU took over!

What are you talking about Damo....we did take over lol

What are you talking about Krishy boostworx uses 1.5 bottles to flush and refill who told you 3 litres

good to hear it doesnt take that much....

WHAT U TALKING BOUT WILLIS

There was 3 newish supras n 1 old school and a 86 chasing me in the mountains section.

Great shots Martin although next time I'll get out of the car and improve them (by my absence) or maybe I just have to work harder on my 'Gun Metal Steel' look.

Nice to see some Supras & the S15 as well. It was fun having a mixture of cars out there.

Technically you can get away with flushing the system with 1litre (when it's rbf600 $30 a bottle, I've got 2 unopened bottles in my garage), mechanic is bit of a perfectionist which is why the 3 litres (when its cheap fluid I don't mind)

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
