Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I'm a fan of do it right do it once... But what is right for me o do not know.

Braided lines, new rotors and good pads would likely be up to weekend drives and occasional track work. You need to decide your budget then go from there. If you are happy to spend 4k you can't go wrong with the high end stuff. But much lower spending will also get you results.

I have never met one more angst filled about mods! Lol

Work had for my money, don't want to waste it.

Haven't had a good run of luck with stuff for the car so far either, hence making double sure before I buy anything else.

Pads and braided lines won't make up for the 32 Sumitomos though i don't think, so i'd say i'd need to get something bigger for sure.

So, for research's sake, which companies make good quality brake kits, and which should one stay away from?

Right

So all those people who have D2/G4/K Sport brakes on their cars and say they are good are talking out their ass then?

In a word... yes.

Placebo is a wonderful thing. It makes justifying paying 2k for china crap easy ;)

Are they an upgrade over stock? Sure. Most kits are.

I would go brembo, ap racing, stoptech or something else that comes oem on something that's bigger.

Go with something made by a company that actually makes brakes and have put in the r n d. You get more for your money imo.

Pro tip. A GTR is wasting money at its best!

Splimer ran refreshed stock brakes with no trouble at 296 awkw for years.

AP and Alcon seem to be the top teir. Then probably Brembo and the like. Project Mu is well regarded.

If it was my money I would be checking out those Akebonos that Mike posted 355 is a nice size without going overboard.

This is great value imo. Sure it isnt big name brand, but oem gear quality and big.

And inconspicuous.

Would buy this over d2 etc every time

then don't go for cheap shit Pete.

Get a big brake kit like Brembo F50 with 380mm rotors or Alcon or Endless or Project Mu

Oh I also forgot AP and Willwood

and make it worth it

Have you moved completely to xero in house?

nah mate. Setting up a client on cloud with MYOB accoutright live and also fix up their data which back in the stone ages (few entities involved)

Will get the app for them too

And all bank feeds now ready

34 turbo acquired for my highflow, does this look like it's been modified to anyone? I was under the impression the compression wheel on 34's was nylon not steel.

The fins on the turbine look like the stock design and the rear certainly doesn't look milled out. I would say it is as it left the factory.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
