(and MILES better than EBC Red :blush:)

I'm just wondering how the QFM pads could be MILES better... I'm didn't experience brake fade once and I was pushing that brake pedal pretty damn hard lap after lap. If QFM are at least as good or better I'll happily buy a set when I'm due next, just honestly wondering how much better they could be.

I saw heaps of people snapping pics on the day, anyone got more to post?

Pat's S14, a sedate V35, and it's fire breathing cousin the R35:

C'mon photographers & happy snappers. There are only 14 photos so far in this thread since the track day (not including the brake photos from Chad, Dave & Lance). There were 20 cars out there!

I expect more images by midnight Sunday night or else I will put a formal request to the mods & SAU-SA executive committee that the photographers be given a warning and banned for a month :happy:

Looks like I'm getting some body roll in the pictures while im turning into corners, think it's worth upgrading from the factory swaybars to cusco/whiteline ones?

Some? :down:

What suspension? Standard? Looks it, if so I'd be tackling that first

Nismo S-Tune coilovers left on medium damper setting, would have changed to hardest setting but I don't have the tool to easily change the rears.. need to take boot trim apart to attack it with pliers

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
