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.

Who is good for mech work? Is sabaddin the only (non-Racepace) club supporter?

GT Hyper, tell 'em hamish sent ya

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...

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
