Whats all this about IRISH school? LOL

yeah sorry, obscure rescue me/dennis leary reference. he's old school irish, like troy. lol.

mate you should be thankful they keep letting you back in to australia! it's a miracle you're able to get into any country at all so be greatful of all the places that WILL give you a visa. who wants to go to ireland anyway? beer is rubbish and the chicks there can't make up their minds...

Have you had a chance to test your stoptechs yet Troy?

Not yet....been crazy busy with work. The brackets are machined up, lines, pads everything sitting at mechanics ready to go on. I just have not had time to get out there and fit them. One day once the fog of working 7d/wk passes :)

Any updates love of the thread mate.

dunno weather to go: rb25, rb25/30, or stay with my rb20 and go similar route as you.

Hows it go on the street on your old setup trust one? Thats my pick of the bunch

The Trust manifold with 8cm TD06-20G was not too bad on the street. If you want a quick street car then something smaller like a GT-SS would make for a nicer car....or an RB25. But if you can live with a powerband from 4,500rpm to 8,000rpm then the lil 20 is an ok thing. Its tough and reliable and cheap.

As for updates...I have replaced the 100mm ARC cooler with an OE R34 GTR cooler. The Stoptechs are on with 343mm x 32mm rotor with PFC06 pads and about the only thing left to do is clean up the cooler piping with the Plazmaman plenum then start enjoying it again. The E85 tune and 10cm housing and Tomei cams may be back on the cards. They are sitting here ready to be used. But for now just want to have some fun punting it

Nice Troy. What are PFC06's?

I'm planning on hitting the track in June. You around at all?

Most people with 26's live with that sort of powerband anyway, so realistically It's not bad at all.

Pads by Performance Friction ...

Performance Friction 06 Race pads have high average torque output, similar to PFC01, rising over its operating temperature range, and a MOT of 2000 degrees F. Excellent bite, exceptionally low rotor wear, and better than average pad wear. May be used for endurance racing, like PFC97, but with significantly higher bite.

Yeh, think I am quitting my job on Wednesday so will have plenty of time to play with the car in June

Quitting ey? To live in Melb or abroad?

What's a set of front pads worth? I'm looking at H16-03 from Project Mu, they call them Club racer. About 400 a set of fronts for my G4's. Heard anything about them?

Most tracks have a 95DBA noise limit as measured 30 metres away from the edge of the track.

EC is one of the only ones I know of in Aus that doesn't.

My screamer will definitely be on for SL then!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
