I have a very bad habit of warping or hotspotting discs in all my previous cars, and want to nip this in the budd before I start doing any damage.

change to better than factory pads and brake fluid for your driving application, replace factory discs with better ones also help.

What was so funny? My saying the Evo had fulleh hektic stretch?

There was quite a few gold quotes in there really. I've forgotten them all now though :P. But yeah mainly this:

I thought the general "I turn happy laps into angry laps" vibe was the funny bit... :D

Buy me an external mic then.

No.

Speaking of brakes - I know this is probably the wrong place to ask, but the right place for the people I'd respect the answer from most - what should I put on a V36 350GT? I have a very bad habit of warping or hotspotting discs in all my previous cars, and want to nip this in the budd before I start doing any damage.

Depends on which calipers you're running. If it's the basic ones, scrap them and replace with either Akebono or R34 bits. Akebonos are about $2k though.

Also take a look at what rotors and pads you're running. The right mix will help but if the size isn't right, you'll still get heaps of brake fade. I am the master of brake fade! :P

RDA slotted and dimpled combined with QFM or EBC pads should give you a good go.

I am planning on RDA slotted and dimpled with EBC Red Stuffs in mine...

I gotta admit... jibberish... all jibberish! :P

I have much to learn. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford to have a dedicated track day car to put my money into - and maybe then I'll understand what "RDA slotted and dimpled" means without automatically picturing some exotic condom style.

lol, thanks mate. Never heard of RDA. V35 suit V36? I can only find up to V35 discs.

Try this

my mate took the photos and gave me links to them, so I just posted them up as is... I don't know much about photos/compression but it sounds like you need faster internet? :P

should you post more dirty Evos in the future just save them on your desktop resize the pix like 1/3 and then post them up (I use photobucket or my mobile to post all my sexy photos)

Flickr should offer compression by changing the "_o.jpg" to "_z.jpg", or other letters. None of them work.

I blame your friend for not allowing Flickr to auto-compress linked photos.

Either that or he's shared his view address, not the public address.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
