2) gets pads next to the rotors for instant application.

Pressurises the system and gets the pad to the face of the rotor. It makes a huge difference.

You know when you go to press the pedal, it's going to be rock hard. Which it is. If you don't do it, the pedal will travel a long way before the car really starts to pull up. This way, you have total confidence and it pulls up straight away.

It's just a touch, not enough to slow the car at all.

Sandown Turn 1,5 and Winton Turn 1(11) get the same treatment.

Most touring car drivers do the same thing, well that is where I stole it from.

I don't even think about it anymore, just natural.

I wish I knew, my car felt great down the straight, it was already wound off the clock in 4th and 5th just kept pulling hard, :rofl:

Yeh those 180kph clocks are pretty shit lol.

You were pulling away from me nicely Artz, I think I was hitting 250 up the straight, not sure how accurate my speedo is up there though...

I'd be very suprised by that.

My speedo doesn't work and only goes to 180 anyway.

Data tells me. 254kph max and 179 is slowest through turn 1. Crazy fast!

yeah 180 speedos are rubbish and mine reads 10% fast anyway, this was the first time ive used racechrono and got 231.

Rus, 179 though turn one is awesome ive got like 160 or something. must be that wing working?

Perhaps they need a radar at the end of the straight. Turn one had a shit surface, I can't believe the speeds some of you were doing through there.

Sandown should be interesting with moar boost in the 76, should be well over 350kw by then (and I can actually get it to the ground unlike you guys.) :P

Wow. Didn't realise that hayshed was that fast! Awesome corner!. Apex was 187 and got to 196 before braking for lukey heights.

How bout you?

Could I send you the file to overlay? Would be an interesting for comparison.

I'd love to say it's all aero but to be honest I would say it's a bit aero but mostly being a lighter car. Mine is down near 1280kg. Probably a good 200-250kg lighter so that helps.

I think having the big wing and splitter will be improving the mid-corner a lot. Shame I wan't able to test the diffuser and cannards properly. Still disappointed I didn't get a good run before the engine let go...

My thing did 276km/hr last time - and it wasn't at full throttle.

These R35's sure are slippery things. My best max speed down there in the R34 was 245km/hr.

(These are GPS tracked speeds, not "speedo" speeds too).

Send it through.

I struggle for speed through hayshed a little, I'd like to be doing 200 through the apex. It's 180 at the apexi and 190 in the braking zone. I snatch 5th before turning in and am flat to the floor the whole was through. I have tried 4th a couple of times, but I need more revs as the thing is on the limiter in the braking zone in 4th. 5th is fine, as the car is very stable through that section of the track.

Turbo will small rear housing = no pull up top.

speedo said +230km/h but I was braking pretty early for turn 1. previous owner claims he saw 240~ on the hand controller once, but he also did a 1:54 lap so im not going to doubt it

Damn! That's fast! What power was that done with?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
