I rate the F40s. I grabbed some 6 pot Alcons and got all wet over them until i realised they run 376x36mm rotors :P A bit bigger then i was expecting/hoping. Oh well, back to std brakes while the car sits in storage. One day....i will just burn it and build a track GTSt like Two Bens Racing

The pump unit in the 32 series is the same.

My GTR has Porsche 6 pot's on it, and i can still flat spot tyres with it.

I'd put a fair but of thought into a Tarmak Rally GTR, and if wanted to build the best 32, you'd fill it with R33 bits. The ATTESSA PRO ecu is day and night compared to the R32, heaps faster, ABS is heaps more responsive (but not too aggresive) , also feeds torque to the front wheels under brakes (found that from datalogging it) for stability, and a R33 transfer case to handle the higher baseline awd. IMO the biggest problem with the 32 is the old tech ECU's, it was bloody advanced in 1989, but tech came a long way by 1995, i think the pumps are fine, just the ECU that drives them.

A R33 ATTESSA ECU would be well worth doing, as you have better ABS, and AWD. I'm not sure how hard it is to disable to A-LSD in the ATTESSA PRO, cause that's the one you want. Only thing you'd want to consder is if the R32 tranfercase can handle running a little all the time.

On another note, where did you get the rotors for your F40's? Are they 2 peice, and 332mm?

The F40's (like most stuff on SAU) came from Roy. They are a good calliper & take a pad from the 4 pot Brembos on the Falcons of all things. Makes me wonder if all those Brembos on Foulcans can be put to better use?

The rotors are stock R33 gear, ie 324x30. Still trying to find a 345 rotor to suit & get bracket made. Project Mu don't quote the offset for their 345 rotor for the Nissan (Part Number FC44 N102A & FS44 N102A with the callipers dependent on which calliper). :ninja:

I found the bias to be a little too far rearward so I reckon the bigger rotor would be excellent.

The issue(s) I had with the ABS ECU are obviously that the cycle rate is rubbish but more so that the damn thing doesn't appear to actually release the locked wheel when you are on R compounds. Maybe the line pressure is too high but it doesn't function at all well as ABS on the track. Makes me wonder why bother carrying it.

R33 computers/ATTESSA looks like an idea. No need for the 33 V-spec stuff but if the povvo pack gear works on a 32 that would be excellent. Although having said that with the Ruzic controller there isn't too much wrong with the 32 ATTESSA - as long as it is shimmed to spec.....

Bugger, i have a 343mm bracket for the F40, though its buried in storage :) Dont run PMU 345s...lol for gods sale. Way too expensive., Grab some B-Spec 343mm x 32mm rotors. Good sturdy design and reasonably priced replacements and they are a very easy rotor to adapt the F40 to.

Depends on which hats you have. Alcon, Dixcel, Brembo, Stoptech all make a decent 332 x 32mm rotor. I guess you run Brembo so you can get Dixcel replacement rotors off yahoo or out of Japan. Since the dollar is doing ok you can consider buying new stoptech hats and rotors as the hats are damn similar but sadly dont take the Stoptech rotor (assuming you run a Brembo hat) It may work out more viable as the Stoptech replacement rotors are very cheap compared to many of the others out there

fgs, re bend those brake lines!~ my grandmother can bend tube better than that... =P

other than that im loving the suede dash and the build up in general... awesome stuff, best of luck.

are you allowed to replace all the glass with something a bit lighter like perspex?

im heading out to strip my '32 after being hit with a wave of inspiration hah ha.

Cheers, Rowdy

Re brake line. Damo is not responsible for any of the braking system thus the level of workmanship is low. lol.

yep perspex can be used but its getting more like a dollar thing as im spending more money than ben had budgeted. i dont think we will have any issue getting down to the base weight for targa anyway.

your grandma can definatly take pipe better than that, she's very good at taking pipe. :D

dash looks good boys... will be doing mine this weekend.

ive read that the 3m spray glue is good to use also?? yes?? no?? dont know?? should i repeat the question?? or is selleys qwik grip the only shit to use??

using pegs is a bloody good idea too... must get some of them yes.

this biger question is will it be ready in 30 days. As those last 26 days will be used for testing.

Nah its only fun when your running in/tuning/finishing off interior on the drive to scrutineering!!!!

But yeh good plan!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
