Went to Barbagallo for the first time with my R35 last night for the No Limits night session run on the short track.

Not knowing the track and driving it at night was rather intimidating especially given the poor lighting but in any event I have been bitten by the bug and found myself on the phone today trying to order new brake rotors pads braided lines etc.

Does anyone know if anyone has the Endless MX 75's in stock BSM sports are out of them ...

just finished fitting the AP curved slotted rotors and endless pads. vsport were very good thanks Dunc. Both Gary and John were great.

Tony from speedmaster was also very good.

I think a shipment of the endless pads is expected from Japan some time after the 24th Feb (they are out of stock currently - I think most vendors will be)

If inclined, installing the rotors and pads on all four corners was relatively simple though I took my sweet time (this was my first time ever working on brakes so took me a shade under 4 hours from car up to car down) I was a little OCD, certainly would not make any money as a mechanic working at that pace!

Thanks guys will give them a try on monday, were you happy with the upgrades you have done with the brakes Duncan ? DO you recommend also installing braided steel lines and better fluid ?

I've run both the AP slotted and jhook replacement rotors and i'm very happy, great value and robust product. I have a set of bradied lines sitting here (not installed) so i don't know if they will be an improvement. For fluid i use brembo lcf 600, i bleed after each track event, i go through a lot of fluid. There are some reviews on the US forums about cheaper fluid which i think is just as good. Worth looking it up on nagtroc.

p.s. the j-hooks are rather noisy on the street (click click sounds)

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?

      You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
