Get 8 pots!

why?

I miss the brakes on my old Supra. Those were big mother f*ckers.

because you have to try and stop something that weighs somewhere between a skyscraper and a continent on shithouse 4 pot calipers. the only way to disspate all that heat is to have a larger rotor.

effective braking size of a supra is the same as a GTSt.

you can buy $80 adaptors that convert GTR calipers to use Supra rotors. Now that's a sweet and cheap upgrade for a skyline.

Virtually any 6cyl car can break traction in any weather. My Supra did it easily. It all comes down to the driver.

Auto is a bit harder I guess.

Stand on brakes, depress accelerator, let brakes off slightly, do skid

= profit.

I didn't have the SZ model 4 pots though :D Mine were off the RZ. Sif I'd call 4 pots "big motherf*ckers" :nyaanyaa:

You should see the pissy little ones on my Australian delivered MR2 though. I need to fix that shit BAD.

How would you know what I do? :nyaanyaa: Pretty sure track work requires good brakes.

And dude, you never know what the dickhead in front of you will do on the road!

Or when a bloody dog will run out of a house directly in front of you! That happened to me the other day. Lucky it was in the dry.

I panicked and slammed the brakes on. Bit of smoke but it stopped alright. I reckon I would have hit the stupid animal if it was wet.

only the 95 onwards models (SZ and RZ) came with 4 pot brakes. the ones that came before were all 2 potters. 4 pots are as big as you get on a poopra.

i honestly don't think you have any clue what you're talking about :(

ended up ordering 10 large pizzas lmao

on another note

my luck gets worse and worse with skylines

every f**kin car i see, am bet to it by a small amount of time

all the replies are "just sold it man" and "sold it yesterday"

f**k!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
