STI113,

ok I had a look at their site, but it is looking like I will need to order them locally....I dont think I can wait for them from the US...

also what else have you done to your 32 GTR brake wise to improove it?

currently this is my setup:-

AP 6 pot 355mm rotor unknown, but hat is AP so maybe AP

unknown pad

fluid is motul 5.1 RBF600

cusco brake stopper

braided lines all round

rears are just stock GTR with DBA rotors

what pads are you running front and rear?

have you done anything above and beyond this?

cheers....

I haven't done anything yet. I'm trying to find out what the biggest rotor is I can use with the rims that I have. It looks like 365mm with be the biggest without going for a TE37 style of rim (can't get the right offset in these rims).

Basically I'm probably going to end up with 365 * 34 mm rotors and 6 pot calipers, AP600 Fluid, Comp 9 pads at the rear. Braided lines as well. My Nismo strut brace alrady has a master cylinder stopper.

I couldn't imagine needing to do anything else unless I was pulling 300+kmh on the main stragith at Philip Island????? :D

Regards

Andrew

I find with the R34 rims the RE55's 265's are probably slightly too big. 255's would be perfect but they don't exisit. Still the 265's are better than the 245's.

But as mentioned the 265's fit perfect on my 18x9.5 LMGT4's.

Andrew - not sure what you are doing for braided lines but the club get a discount through Maltech and several of us use them and they are great.

Hi Andrew,

The brake package I'm looking at has braided lines included with them.

Ben,

I can't remember exactly but I think for the AP's the Ferrodo's were around $500 for the front set (I use Galfer pads on the rears).

And yes they are a high friction pad. And they are a bugger to bed in propperly! LOL But once bedded in they are fantastic - very good initial bite and a very consistant pedal feel.

However - extended street use leads to them becoming DAMN noisy. They need to be worked hard reguarly.

Nice!

Well I will look at those also....

currently 3 that stand out and have been recommended are the :-

Hawk blue

DS 3000

Pagid

was it ok to use the DS3000 on a worn rotor i.e. not a new one?

and I am guessing it will be a few highway runs for me to bed them in!!

There are a few variations of the AP 6 pot caliper. Generally people use he CP555 as it has a wide range of pads available, is basically a high performance street caliper with internal dust seals, is reasonably weighted and caters large diameter rotors.

To the best of my knowledge, they will only accept a 32mm thk rotor. So just check the part number of the caliper and be sure that it will accept a 34mm thk rotor.

You are correct, this one will be spaced.

Ferodo DS2500- high performance road/Track pad,works from cold to 600-650 degrees, kind on rotors, friction curve quite stable but will rise slightly with temp.

Ferodo DS3000- track pad, Works from cold, high inital bite, about 20% more friction than a DS2500. can be hard on discs when cold (street use), can be noisy as it is a race pad.

Pagid RS4-2(blues)- very similar to DS2500 (temp and friction specs), very popular tarmac rally pad, bit noiser than DS2500.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
