If your car is not making huge power and your have pads that have over 50% pad left you should be ok for your first time. Just make sure you keep an eye on your pads as they can wear down very quickly at Mallala. QFM A1RM's were good for 1.20's in my car, they work great.

As everyone says, keep an eye on your pads, if they're low then source something spares locally. Running old stock stuff ya probably won't put that much load on the car anyway, which OS good, just don't be suprised if your pedal goes to the floor

In the medium term I wouldn't get too precious about your rotors, you'll soon be throwing them in the bin. I still run sporty street crap and they crack after a few good session. Works out economical for me to replace every 4 track days when the pads are low, they're cheaper than pads! As for pads, I've been using pmu club racers and love them. (if ya run out of pads I've usually carry old spares anyway)

Motul fluid seems to be a popular choice, been using the 660, but running 600 now as it's easier to source when ya need it.

Ps: garages used to be $30 payable to the dude on the pushbike.

I expect I will learn about alot of shortcomings in my brakes, suspension, tyres ..... well the whole car really !

Being my first time out I wont be laying down very good times, therefore not really fussed about what I am using this saturday in the way of pads, fluids etc.

Pretty keen to just get out there and have some fun, I will worry about improvements for the 23rd of March.

Well I was about to put the car on the trailer late last night and discovered I got a bad fuel leak . Upon investigation it seems a fuel line split which would have meant hours lost getting and fitting another. At $100 + $35 for garage for maybe only half a days track work I decided to sit this one out.

23rd of march is the next goal , gives me time to get brakes machined , new a1rm pads and fluid.

Maybe even treat myself to some coil overs .

Hope you lads have fun .... Sad panda

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
