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!

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
