Hey guys, for those who have seen the Alcon's motorsport-spec monoblock calipers with the temperature indicator on them, but didn't fancy shelling out $10k for the brakes, you can buy the stick on caliper temperature indicators, see below. Very handy =)

yeah they are good. have been available for years. I use different ones for different things. mocal make a heap of different ranges. stick them on radiator, oil cooler, shock body, calipers of course. anything that you want to know the temp of. just need to buy the appropriate heat range sticker for the job.

they come in degrees C too which is easy for metric minded folk like us too. ;)

Sounds like a great idea! Where do you source the Mocal ones from ??

cheers...

hey John, i've bought them from thinkauto (www.thinkauto.com) in the past, but since those guys are in the UK it's a bit pricey to just oder stickers (thought I have done it once!), I used to get them with other bits. But I have seen in NSW the guys that do trackside sales (race and rally - speedzone and perhaps revolution etc) do sell them too. Could also try earls in silverwater they probably have them. it's nice being in C and with different ranges of temp for different things.

cool. in that case it probably is worth getting them from think auto. I think they are about 1-2 pound each and postage maybe 5-10pound.

Should have been more clear, this is for a booklet of 16 stickers...

yeah the paint is good. not sure I'd say it's more useful. they are both good for different purposes. i'd use paint on rotors for example but for a radiator the stickers work great. they work fine on calipers too. I have noticed the paint does go off after some time.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
