Well after looking around for some rear brakes for mine (was mainly looking for R35 GTR rears or Alcon 4pots) which i couldnt find i decided why not put the 6pots on the rear :P

Which leaves me to these puppies i picked up the other night

8Pot Brembo Grand Terrizmo with 380mm rotors. They are actually all bolt on ready for a BMW X5, So custom dog bones and hats will be made.

You can see in the pics the pad design, its basically 4 small pads per caliper :)

hey luke real good build man, very maticulas (spelling)

i think with the manifold matt mentions in his thread in the FI section that even chinese stainless manifolds flowed 50% more the stock and after porting could only get within 15% of the cheep stainless manifolds, lower half of page 6 i believe this is mentioned

Edited by ahh 33 s2

Sure am mate, Have already been ported out and hpc coated.

Reckon i should go different manifolds?

Are they Unique Autosports ported? I prefer the ported OEM manifolds over the stainless tomei and HKS style as you know. They will give better response and longevity. The 6boost are better again, will make the same power at less boost and less heat...also changed my top end considerably(extra 1100rpm of torque b4 drop off) But as you know they are a pain to fit. It wouldn't be a silly option to stick with what you have. Power wise you will have more than enough to go sub 1:15 without any issue's. It just comes down to how much boost you want to use to get there.

GTRS's need minimal exhaust restriction to punch past 500kw, that's the key. Side pipes are the only way to go. Noise level may be an issue as I did get pulled up on Sat.

Just got a mate to port them with a die grinder.

Plan to go twin Titanium side pipes (one off each turbo)

Will be good to see how the 6Boost manifolds go over time and weather they crack or not. Thats one thing why im staying stock so far.

firstly awesome build mate

i have the gtrs turbos with external wastes i also had standard manifolds with the r34 dump pipes with 22psi i made 410awkw and was only making power to 7800rpm i changed to hks manifolds and tomei dump pipes and a 3.5inch exhaust all the way through made 449awkw i think u should ditch the standard stuff my 2c worth

not that easy to make 500kw or maybe the dyno i use doesnt bullshit lol

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
