you changing the rotors too.?

Nah, apparently I don't need to. Unless you mean upgrading to cut ones, which I think I'll just use the stockies. Funds are on a budget whilst Rosie is getting paid off :P

Upgrade rotors to DBA slotted items when your stockies are dead. Only real advantage will be heat dissipation with the slotted rotors, so unless you're driving like a fkn lunatic on the streets or tracking the car you won't really get anything out of them other than them looking cool :P

Rosie is going to the track in September so slotted might be nice :3 if it's like $100 extra or whatnot I don't see an issue D: However, budget is a keyword for me :( So stockies it seems haha

As Anthony said, you'll barely notice a difference until you've got a few track days under your belt and you're pushing limits :P

^^ This. Driver skill will make the biggest increase to start with. N/A cars can still get decent times with the right driver behind them. When you go out the first time worry about getting line and length right, and then slowly decrease your brake distance into each corner keeping line and Length right. you will see your times massively improve. Don't worry about speed, timing is where it's at and speed will follow suit.

I'm sure I will get the nickname Putty on the day as I'll probably be putting around the track learning this and that. I've done some V8 track days (go in the V8 "supercar" around the track). So I know a tiny bit about track. Still a novice though :P I'll smack out some Forza 4 the night before and get tuned in :P

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
