$10k worth of discs?  Where's the value?  I'm assuming that they will be going back onto the Audi and not actually being used on the track, right?  You do realise that all the Audi/Merc/Porsche owners with ceramic brakes take them off for track work, or even for street work, then put them back on to sell the car with?

thumbs up to GToFuS-T. being first worth every cents.

besides we work with AutoRacing Technik. we get our pads custom made, not going to get ripped from euro car makers.

A gentleman with an incredible NISMO spec build fitted some to his car approx March 2016, I don't want to steal his thunder but it is here (along with the rest of the build - definitely not works safe, incredible car!).

Interested to know your thoughts regarding performance, etc. I don't believe ALL cars that have them stock take them off!

Thanks for the info. Being first in Aus isnt too bad either..i guess:D

Nice nismo built for sure. With performance, it certainly alot lighter than steel discs. yet to find out what is is like and temp range with the custom pads. Not sure if ALLLL cars take them off buddy, certainly the people i know have them on all the time.

Just went through the previous photos. i believe the discs they used are too big, the 35gtr caliper are too small for the disc. the pistons arent really pushing to the center of the pad/disc. Unless i am looking it wrongly?? here with pics of the two setup vs stock. can see there is a big gap between the edge of the caliper and the center hub. As well as the excess material of the pad. guess the pads will be pushed in in an angle causing uneven wear and poor braking performance. Everyone's thought?

Fitment of caliper and pads on the rotors doesn't look right.

That's what happens when they're not really fitted - just sat for e-fame photo op.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
