zoid, the factory calipers mate. when the next set of pads are flogged out I'm gonna grab some Ksports 8 pots, too many good reviews for 2k to pass up.

Justin, dunno mate, I'll be going to see the dick head couriers first thing, hopefully i wont need em.

Ben, I use QFM A1RM pads, aussie made, work from 0-780, and can get them for around 130 for front or 250 front +rear. they are dusty buggers, can be noisy but are very very good value! and they dont chew rotors too bad. its not their fault, they sent them the same day, fastway have had them in hobart for 8 days....... I hear its being bought out, well i can say they have a shit load of cleaning up to do, coz the ass holes there couldn't run a country chook raffle

I hope you can get some pads in time mate, I'd really like to see you out there ripping it up! Can't you just like go into Fastways with a sawn-off and not leave until they find them?

What time are we all getting to the track? I'm thinking 9am?

Those brakes had better be in Jack, I've heard lots of very good things about this car and want to see it out there :P Hell, if you don't have brakes just go out and cruise around at 5kmph for the effect, I may even overtake you!

I'm happy to turn up any time but if the weather is good I'll be getting out as early as possible I reckon :)

By the way, I've had a mate (with his own helmet) say he wants to navigate from the passenger seat on the day, I'm assuming there's no problem with this and he won't have to pay anything?

well, went into fastway first thing today, long story short, they have lost them. As much as i wanted to axe kick someone, I need SOLUTIONS, not PROBLEMS!

So anyways Hamish At revolution Is getting some in thisarvo for me, will pick them up later. I have some GS610 fluid here, un opened, winner!

And I just dropped my rotors off to be machined. so should have some reasonable stoppers by tonight.

and re Navigators, nup, helmet & long sleeve shirt and their good to go. no cost. I'll have a nav at some stage on sunday no doubt! =)

weather forcast looking good for it.

dude, no good.

just run without one, limit yourself to 5 laps at a time, 20 mins between runs.

STOP TEMPTING ME!

Nah I totally would do this if I had an oil temp gauge.

Plus Dad said he's not coming down anymore so I'm tow vehicleless and because it's a public loliday I'm trailerless too.

i rang and made sure the track is clear for sunday , all good , umm i won't be there early , if i can (if no one minds) i may bring the hq out too .

zoidberg - no need for oil coolers , it an rb :P , i'd say 10 laps then 25-30min rest would be fine for it :ph34r:

Ok, I've got my laptop all hooked up to the haltec so that'll tell me what my temps are while I'm in the car, just need to find a way to secure the laptop in the car so it doesn't fly around and KO me in the face.

6 Cell battery and Intel Atom should be good for 5 hours at least on battery :)

I've only got street tyres so they're only going to be good for two laps at a time anyway.

nah , street tyres do 10 laps in a 1380kg hq pretty easy , they should be good for 10 in a ~1200kg r33 , more power will put more heat into the rear tyres though , what brand tyre do you have on your car? getting the tyre pressure right will help alot.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
