people feel that they're fiddly things, when adjusting gains and etc.

but everything that comes out of japan is fiddly. lol people should deal with it.

Yeah mostly I think it is people not reading the manual and/or taking the time to set them up properly. It's not quite as simple as "I WANT 20psi, K.. GO!"

Also, some think they can't handle huge boost and prefer to go for the Blitz dual solenoid units. The theory there is that the dual solenoids can handle fast ramping, huge boost setups better.

Got it thumbsup.gif I dont see either of those issues being of particular concern to me - but good to know! cheers.gif

thats normal though, like bubba said, you cant just input 20psi n say go. 30minutes is actually pretty good.

Did the RDA slotted rotors and EBC pads (red at the front, green at the rear) tonight; and a full bleed of the brakes. Waaaaaaaaaay more bite. Good upgrade, very straight forward :thumbsup: and, no brake squeal! :worship:

I did the same thing 2 months ago on my r32 GTR callipers, those RDA slotted rotors are great, no warp at all when you heat them up. I used the QFM A1rm's and they bite well, better than my EBC reds. Once they are hot though, my god they pull up! Better than any brakes I have felt before.

+1 for the QFM A1RM's

I wasn't really a fan of the EBC's as when I bought a set they would dust something shocking, and this dust would EAT the wheels! Pads were pretty good. Pretty average when cold though!

Dunc, just make sure you change your fluid to something with a slightly higher boiling point. The increase efficiency of the pads at operating temperature means you are bouncing up closer to the boiling point of standard brake fluids, giving your nice new pads a squishy pedal!

We bled them and put in a mid range PBR fluid; nothing too extravegant but better than what you'd get if you took it to a generic mechanic. I had the 'faded brakes' convo with my mate whilst we were doing the brakes, he felt pretty comfortable that what we were doing would be fine thumbsup.gif.

Even when cold, the new setup felt like it had a heap more stopping power than what I was driving this time yesterday - but given I changed so many components at once I wouldnt be so bold as to attribute it to 1 particular bit; as a whole - the system is working nicely. I'll keep an eye out for that brake dust though pirate.gif

The dreaded cold start ethanol issues? You may just need more fuel at cold start, do you have the Emanage software working yet? See if the temp sensor is hooked up to it mate. Not hard to fiddle with it...

Why is yours clogged? What's the symptoms?

I'm having cranking issues in the morning. Do I need extra volts to the fuel pump? New filter?

nah no problems for me.. just wanna get one so after the 2nd tank of ethanol i can change the filter, it cleans the tank..

well we all were having cranking issues and popping on Idle.

get some air flow meter cleaner, and clean the AFM.

Fixed my problem instantly.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
