My speed cut is still in as well - sucks eh?

yeah?

so how come I hit XXX+5 and had long-forward-neck and then you belted past about 20 kms faster?

I might have taken my foot off at that stage, but not by much!

there was one point when we got stuck behind that 4wd and the car with the canoe on top.... I was fuming! but then we went past that multi and Im sure had I not beendoing 55, I would have been doing something horrifically not-55!!

Ken, Not a problem for me, I'll sleep with you:p

On the way home after dropping Aidwin home I was driving enthusiastically at the double ton, hard to swerve left and right to avoid traffic, then the car died, I will still doing a ton and a half! Luckily it was in a straight line. Was it just fuel starvation from the sideways action?

See'ya:burnout:

Died ?

As in rolled to a halt , sputtered once , dash lights came on ?

Be more specific.

Cheers

GTR's seem to get 200kmh before the limiter comes in.

neo

car has tein coilovers with dodgy-install usingone spacer instead of 2 to try and make it lower!

when it came in it wsa on 35s and was the lowest skyine Ive ever seen. pimpin only - cause you couldnt turn the wheel past 5.

have jacked it up about 5-6 inches to put it through the pits.

now seek to arrange a "compromise height".

Died, as in battery and oil light came on, had to re-start the car while rolling at 150:D

See'ya:burnout:

why didn't you just bump start it ?

Sounds weird, sure you havn't got a loose terminal or something ?

How much fuel was in the tank ?

Cheers

Aidwin,

I think I still need to sort out my brakes, even once hot there not that great:p

See'ya:burnout:

Brakes , biggest killer of speed.

Trouble with good brakes is they cost.

Go DBA slotted , Castrol srf or AP660 brake fluid with a good bleed and Pagid blue pads in the front with Bendix ultimates in the rear.

Adjust the brake pedal height to take out 90% of the freeplay and viola"

A good brake you can trust.

Cheers

Ken

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
