Here enjoy some poetry

"So sit down my children

I've a story you see

Of good money squandered

On my r33

'Twas a warm summer evening

I laid eyes on her

It wasn't to angry

The sound of her purr

A sad '25

Lay under it's bonnet

No turbo in sight

I should not of bought it

But big plans lay in store

For the R33

To make it a monster

Powered by LS, not RB

I cut and I hacked

And I swore black and blue

And turned this poor car

Into a thing owned by few

It lives! I cried

As the LS erupted

This car has a soul

A soul I've corrupted

I fear no RB

As I roll down the highway

Stuff the conformists

I did it my way"

To much time on your hands..

Btw I like brakes

brembos from other cars ie R34 GTR are a poor upgrade...........save and get a big brake kit........I'm not a fan of Chinese brakes hence why I have AP Racing 6 pot brake kit

Brembo F50 / GT kit, Endless, Trust / Alcon all quality brakes but expensive

Mmm, much monies....

Shall have to get saving!

Yeah, money isn't really an issue at the moment, it's just a matter of time saving it. Car isn't going to be tracked seriously though, so I doubt that i'd get value out of a big brake kit. Get the impression that the R34ones are a little overpriced (cause R34, cause brembo), the 33 ones look like the ticket.

Edit: they're the same size anyway, didn't realise that.

edit edit: reading over old threads. 355mm rotor and caliper kit, 2006, $10000 bucks. :O

R33 brembos are not the same size as r32 gtr brakes. 325mm vs 296 R33 ones work easier than r34 ones because the bolts are the correct size.

yeah, I meant 33 vs 34, same rotor size, different caliper mounts, same pads.

for fr and rear yes. just upgrade the fronts to start of with then do the rear IF you need to.

After having a big front brake the rear brakes do not need to work as hard anyways so for occasional track days (even than occasional) rear stock calipers will suffice.

My Front APs cost less than 4,5k IIRC

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
