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:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
