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.

FYP

Lol

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.

Like, 'is that an old evo or just a dirty f**king lancer'?

Then you have to put up with my engine noise.

I like the one where you say 'I was going to....but then I realised it's Mr Ants and he might get butthurt' farkin lol

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.

Thanks mate :cheers:

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.

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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
