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:

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
