yeah that was me.

You guys were holding me up

hahaha

I was always on my brakes.

That gravel was a bit of a worry though.

ah well i got out of it unscathed and so did everyone else. Just cost me a set of new undies.

Back to drivers ed for me

hahahahahahaha

good run though

what happened to you guys??

i had to go home earlie :D

i dont feel confident with the stock suspension and speacially being up front and not knowing the roads having shit non-turbo brakes on a turbo car isnt nice either

i had non stop body roll weaving left and right.

mad34 - did your rims came with the spokes black already? very nice as im thinking of doing it to mine

hmmm.. non turbo brakes on a turbo. eewww

still though try not to use brakes too much, or you lock them up LOL ;P

madaz Sittin behind you i noticed you were slowing down at the wrong times it was hard to follow you.

no wonder you werent pushing it too hard though i dont blame you with non turbo brakes

nozilla -Yeah i had my rims painted same colour as car GV1.

we should do it again. Hills runs are heaps of fun. We had no trouble from the cops either

Very caldestine organisation worked a treat

still though try not to use brakes too much, or you lock them up LOL ;P

generally not since there ABS but i do get brake fade, ive been looking into a upgrade kit but i want to keep my rims which are 4 stud

no wonder you werent pushing it too hard though i dont blame you with non turbo brakes

ye ive had a few incidents where ive been going to fast into corners and the suspension wasnt liking it

and i had to brake right @ the last min to stay on the road thats about as much fun as hitting gravel and spinning out

ye me and my mate are out every friday night but i dont like leaving it so late to go on cruizes

its my opinion the from 10pm to 12pm there really isnt that much a trafic differance through the hills and i generally keep to my lane

Edited by Madaz

ye agreed i might of thought there was another cornr comming up really cant remeber

i do know i was h8ing being up front

yes well organise sumthing for most friday nights ...

although next fri is out for me

Edited by Madaz

dont stress about holding us up drive to your ability just remember you when you have ppl behind you dont brake out of the corner just dont go fast into it.

as for that 4 door 34 (r34) it looks pretty nice man also went pretty well too.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
