yeah man pretty good value considering it comes with everything! I'll have a think about it

What's the stock setup at the moment on your Ford?

How do they hold up with the power at the moment?

Weekly wash and a 6 monthly detail from final inspection :P

well worth the effort too...saw your car at dyno day it was clean as a :whistling:

I do clay and wax every 6 months...other than that just wash it whenever..coz too busy washing other peoples cars to do my own..

my skyline looks like balls :laugh:

322mm rotors, not sure about the caliper but pretty sure the SS runs the same.

quote from a review actually:

Braking: With the same brakes as the XR8 (322mm and 302mm discs, sliding calipers), the 315kW GS is under-braked in our view, even as an entry model.

Feel through the pedal is soft, making it poorly matched to the ability of the engine. A shame, then, that the GT's four-piston Brembos are no longer an option on the GS.

I mean they're fine for the street really.. it's probably more if I want to do some track stuff

Bonus is also 6pot brembos look badass :P

But yeah bit of a shame you couldn't get the GS with brembos it does feel like it's missing them.

oi!! i heard that kunt...man I cut and polish the crap outta your car twice and nobody even notices a difference..spend half an afternoon on birds car, give it one quick buff and its noticably better ...

I hate white cars....:rant:

Used to pack a spray bottle of waterless wash and clean microfibre cloths, wash weekly, wax monthly, and clay every 6 monthly. After 3 years, it only got washed in the summer and then only if I had a meet or I was going out.

Yeah right!

I mean, you could get away with running a top quality set of front brake pads and slotted rotors with the stock setup.

But if you are finding you need more stopping power, this Brembo kit for $2K seems the best way to go for a street package...

Yet you are also track ready.

you mean weight...

:rofl:

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
