Angle grinder or tin snips.

Take as much/close as you can basically. I used an angle grinder, because power tools. :D

Oh awesome I have two, one for each hand! Ooo that'll be a fun project...

Yuh, I think it is something that falls into the category of "modifying a braking or steering system" (to paraphrase their various publications) on which the rules are pretty much "don't touch anything unless you get it engineered"....and they apply that rule in blanket fashion as it is easier than thinking. Rock shields might not do much......but they are there and they were put there by the factory, so there they must say unless someone smarter than all of us says they can come off.

I think thats probably the most logical answer.

Rules to cover arses......if unsure disallow it.....and call it a mod that needs engineering.

Edit, what colors are the 3 temperature markers going from left to right?

If they are White Yellow White, you cooked that baby good, well over 650 degrees, id say the inner part of the rotor went over 900 degrees and glowed a nice cherry red color, hence the burned off paint. :D

Here's what the front rotors look like after about 13,000 street kms and 3 track days - I reckon they've been pretty hot:

I'm yet to cut off the rear shields.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
