I can assure you, from experience (at QR yesterday), plummetting down the straight and feeling your brakes not gripping the rotors is not a fun feeling.

Nah the brakes worked but the pedal was sinking to the floor when hot. couple of cool down laps & they were sweet again.

Exactly the same problem I had... Looked it up and it's caused by the fluid boiling. 3 remedies are: Titanium shims behind the pads, Better brake fluid, braided lines.

Oh and to make matters worse, once it's boiled once, it's more likely to boil again :(

Motul RBF 600...get it. I have never had brake fade on QR and I go HARD on all the straights every lap, no cooldowns for my baby :P

I also have braided lines, but they don't help with cooling just give a better pedal feel as they don't expand under pressure.

Apparently braided makes a bigger difference when the fluid is hot :) Have you tried the motul rbf660? Any idea if it's compatible with my car?

Well heat makes rubber more pliable so it would expand more when the fluid is hot. The 600 and 660 are about the same, except the 660 boils about 20 deg. higher and costs about twice as much. Just use 600, more than enough as your pads will give out before you boil fluid (assuming they are just street pads).

Hmmmm I can get 660 at a *reasonable* price... I don't wanna change it twice if I upgrade other components later... Argh... I dunno, I might be over-thinking this...

I can't make this and I needed to cause of work, so can you guys do me a favour please. Can you ask what settings to run for 50% street 50% track.

Castor

Front camber

Rear camber

Rear toe

What ever else that can be adjusted please on an alignment place. Thanks.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
