Mine did it since new! With the spare wheel in or not over vertical imperfections it sounds as if something is bouncing up and down...and if anything its getting worse with time!!!
-
Some lovely driving roads round ur village m8!!!!
-
Now then guys...it cant be heel-toe...as ekona says thats the whole point of it....not to unsettle the car....plus mine is manual which means that there is no point in left braking...cant do it anyway! the point of late braking is more weight on the front wheels and as a result sharper turn in!!! My Zed understeers which means that i need as much weight as i can on turn in...then its neutral...then i get very good traction on the exit.... long corners are a bit trickier cos by the middle of them i v got to go hard on the throttle to keep the front stable... There is a chance that my braking wasnt balanced as it felt a bit uneven after i had the DBA disks fitted. It was the nissan guys that did it but they may not have bled the system properly??? Zmanalex....pm me your phone m8 and i ll ring you tom first for some rear calipers as i will need them for friday avo....
-
Or shall i order 2 new rear calipers???
-
In Germany they have got Shell racing as well which 100oct or smth....but its over 1.50 euros.... Thats all i use there but never do more than 19mpg on the autobahn.... While here with tescos 99ron i average 22-23....why???
-
pics as promised. LHS much worse than RHS. front ones seem ok although the front right could have a brighter golden color....
-
Already ordered them....and motul 660...
-
Cheeky bas....ds all of you.... Another grand flew out of my pocket today.....got to crack on on bl..dy fillings now!!!
-
Cant see the point on going on a track and be responsible..... I brake as late as possible...and then a tad later as well!!!!
-
Does this mean i have to change calipers as well??? will post pics this avo. LHS is bad. RHS looks a bit golder but then again it could be due to shade on LHS....
-
Exactly like the top ones... if not worse!!!
-
oooops.....what happened??? mine are so red i can hardly see the brembo logo!!!! i ll upload a pic this avo....
-
What about the 07 onwards with the HR engine??? I recently changed the standard box with the nismo kit with heat shields....
-
One last thing... i noticed today that my rear calipers have a dark red color instead of gold like the front ones. Is that normal or i am being paranoid???
-

And btw....had 2 parties in the last 3 weekends at my house....i have got so much alcohol of all kinds left over that the Zed's boot isnt big enough to fit in......and thats without the spare wheel in!!!! Come on guys lets get organized!!!
-
Changed the air intakes to nismo ones as well....
-
What's the code? I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess you're running either decat pipes or you're got an exhaust leak prior to the cats themselves. And they're titanium shims, not seals: I assume that was a typo though. And you might want to try Dixon at DMS for the Dixcel stuff, like people have already mentioned in this thread. No m8. Changed the OEM cat back with a nismo one and this is when the light started coming on....will be posting the code soon but it shouldnt have to do with exhaust leak...
-
Now then, i defo need pads, disks and those titanium seals..... Quite interested in Andiank's carbon ones and DBA 5000 series or better....prices to be considered as well....who to contact??? And btw....i defo need those adapters or something for the nismo exhaust.... that CEL light keeps coming on....
-
It was a ferrari experience at silverstone. nothing in depth....but the guy was great and as i was advanced comparing to the others he did tell me lots of things....i wouldnt say i am a race driver now tho....
-
its on both front disks....and slightly on the rear...i may get in touch with them tho...
-
Motul brake fluid (that rf one) was used when i had them changed at 17500mls ish....the whole system was flushed. cool down lap is a lap with almost no braking. if you go too slow they wont cool down as there is not enough air. and i know better than use the handbrake on hot disks me thinks.... mallory park guys is really hard on tyres...which means that after 7-8 laps of drifting round the hairpin and the parabolica the tyres turn into mash.... and then you have to stop!! I was thinking that the ESP could mess the brakes up as it constantly applies the brakes and it doesnt let them cool down when driving daft on a track....but the ESP was off!!!!! in fact its always off!!!!! I dont remember what series the disks are....got them from envy...and the EBC previously from Phil... i did tell them tho that i wanted brakes for track days....and i never asked how much.... 22500mls ish...brembo gone, ebc turbo groove gone, DBA gone...plus pads and fluid each time...and on top of that clutch and flywheel as the clutch was about to die...oh and 4 full sets of tyres....
-
After destroying the brembos in a single track day at oulton park i did my homework... Both DBA and EBC were new. i even followed the guide here to bed the pads in! And on the track 1st lap is heating up breaks and tyres, second lap build some speed up, then lap till the brake pedal starts feeling soft, then 1 or 2 laps cooling down. Oh, and i always give the car more than 20mins to cool down.... I suppose my driving style is aggressive...but i think Steve can confirm that i love following the racing line...even if that means hit the kerb!!! Oh well....i d better look around for bbk then.....how much did you say????
