Serious? I thought it would take more than that to keep up with your car in a straight line, what power is Blaise running?

I'd say there might be a 1:22 in it at Sandown the way my car is at the moment, although I don't know how it will handle the ripple strip abuse.....

Blaises car is 280awkw's - but only 1240kgs. compared to my 330rwkw's and 1620kgs he has me smacked on PTW. Kills me in a straight line.

But 280kw's on a 2.0L EMO with one of those cheater EMO 9 RS turbo's and E85 is not that hard to achieve.

I still wouldn't do though as then I'd have to start wearing a dress on weekends.

for those on the lazy here is a direct link straight to Troy's sliding action.

Mat, I'm on Blue Stuff front and Yellow Stuff rear. Got em from these guys http://ksport.co.uk/.

iirc the rear pads for $135 landed and the fronts were $170. My Fronts are big though. 6 track days down and the rears have 85%, fronts have 40%.

I used PMU HC+ from rhdjap when I had the standard calipers, but was only getting 3-4 track days out of em. They had better initial bite than the blue I have now, though very much the same. But at $250+ a pair...

I'm not sure if you can get some hawk pads form the states on the cheap cheap with the dollar?

LOL...really appreciate you posting those pictures. For the life of me I cant hear when the RE55s lock up. I have been told the AO50s are a bit easier to drive on as they give you a good squeal. But yet to try them. I am running far too racier a pad for my weight of car and rotor size as they really are nice after a number of laps, but up until that point when they are still coming up to temp they are easy to lock up. The flip side is they are very kind on rotors, but alas they dont seem to be too easy on tyres when they are cold :)

The original idea was to go as big a rotor/caliper setup as I could get under a 17" wheel then run street pads as they would offer plenty of cooling. I wanted to try the PFC06 as they are an endurance pad and are qiet, low rotor wear and not dusty....but they are hard to get up to temp

Also, doesnt help that I have big ARC front swaybars on rose joints which really need to be set with the ride heights and corner balancing. No surprise that the brake locks ups when there is a little turn in and trail braking going on and I suspect the big fron swaybar is unloading the inside tyre when there is body roll

Could be worse...

Where the fk the track go???

Second last lap of the day, wasn't the fastest but Natsoft shows it as a 1:35.9. Notice around the 1:20 mark the wheelspin from the faulty ACD not giving me drive at the front wheels.

If only I had a clear run.....

Lol that was an interesting entry for the sweeper indeed :)

As quick as the Evo is that soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired :D

Snowy - that weight diff is huge...close to 400kg makes a lot of difference. I'm surprised that the R wouldn't catch the the Emo higher in the rev range.

Thats a cool pic!

Watching Jacks vid side by side with mine the biggest difference is straight line acceleration! Corners are about the same, perhaps me a tad quicker... but under brakes and in a straight line I am being murdered....lol i need e85

Can only imagine what the difference would have been with your previous setup, much more response than what you have now so your corner exit would have been much better. I say go the e85, hopefully it will wake it up in the lower rev range.... :thumbsup:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
