What brake set up did you go with George? Have you still got your Supra & a R34 GTR? Didn't you have a Pulsar or Laser as well?

I got suplied a full set of Kido racing front and rear brakes 380mm rotors for the GTR 8 pot front and 6 pot rear calipers. And yes i still have the 34 gtr and the Supra. Supra is going a ECU change as the Haltech will not give us any kind of support regarding their vvti on the 2j control and att he moment it doesnt work. So another ECU supplier is going to give us an ECU and help us make it all work.

I had a 02 Laser but that was sold two years ago, i now have a Jeep patriot and a Dodge Caliber.

^^^^ Bloody hell George! 380mm 8 pots plus 6 pots for the rears! :laugh: How much power is your GTR putting out? The thing will stop on a dime! I've never even heard of Kido as a brake brand. I can't wait to see how you go on Monday.

I wish I had my GTR :D

So after going to 5 different places today and trying on lots of helmets the ones that fitted the best and were the most comfortable were the Shoei. They were also the most expensive (well the carbon fibre ones for $2500 were but I only looked at them to admire).

I can get the one I want - a 2009 model TZ-R in metallic anthracite - for $600 in town from Bills Motorcycles but I have just found a place in the USA that sells them for USD$278 or ~AUD$300. Add shipping and it will still be a lot less than $600. Will a US sourced helmet pass scrutineers? It won't have the Australian Standards sticker on the back.

no mate that wont pass scrutineering so to speak, has to have the australian standards sticker!

ill be out there taking photos, for anyone thats interested! usually do drift days, but keen for a look at some grip stuff see how i go!

Hey, what are you going to do with your old brembos? i might know someone keen on buying them!

Andrew's fastest lap at the last time attack was 1.16.30 and that was his first time out with full slicks.

i think his best time was 1:14.7 (not at TA though); for some reason the slicks actually went slower than what he'd ran before.

Yeh they are an OEM manufacturer for big name brands like Alcon AP and the rest. My GTR is currently putting out 315kw at all four wheels by the dyno read out the other day but i didnt have time to adjust the nismo fuel pump for more delivery. There is still left more in it.

And yes the stopping power is bloody amazing light touch on the pedal during daily driving and i feel like im gonna fly out the windscreen.

problem = critical parts for my car did not arrive today so i may not be ready for the trackday :happy: unless they arrive on Monday morning and i get there late.

dilemma = do i take the daily driver out there anyway and cut some laps for fun or does someone want to take my place at this eleventh hour?

As I said via SMS, take the daily, don't be a pussy :happy:

what are you needing ?

a set of new brakepads - i had asked Endless Australia to send us a set of fronts asap and that the rears from Japan could wait until after the trackday. however, there seems to be have been some confusion somewhere along the line and i now suspect that i'm getting the fronts when the rear set arrives from Japan which looks to be AFTER the event. the ironic thing is that i'm the Endless reseller and i should have organised this a month ago. hindsight is perfect (sigh).

my advice to those who are planning mods for the Nov23 trackday is to get all the work done in the next fortnight as it's only four weeks after this trackday.

As I said via SMS, take the daily, don't be a pussy :happy:

ok ok, i'll bring the daily. some track time is better than no track time at all :) otherwise people can PM me if they really want my spot ($)

it would be nice if a local dealer had race pads on the shelf for Brembo F50 brakes. can anyone get me a set by Monday?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
