$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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
