Who makes custom handbrake cables ?? As you would have got one made originally right ?

Thanks.


I used a VN Commodore cable...perfect fit as I was using Commodore brakes on the rear

The high tech autronic sounds like a hardcore bit of gear.. do you just have a laptop plugged in when you are playing with the settings ?

It will be a few years until i will be looking into fitting an aftermarket ecu.. but my time will come [:x)]

In the meantime i will sit here and continue to be jealous [:u][^]


Yeah,just plug the laptop in

Hmm, I've got an R31 skyline rear end in mine.. i wonder if the brakes are the same..

Did you have to weld brackets to the floor to hold the cable just before it connects to the calipers ?? (if you know what i mean)

Cheers.

Yeah i guess so.. I'm taking a break from further mods for a long while once ive finally got the car sorted and relable(ish) .. as I have not had a cent to do anything for the past year and a half since i decided to go the Cosworth route... Then when I dedcide to go at it again (when i have a decent paying job) i think it will be a full bare metal respray, steel cage, 6 link, turreted rear etc etc..


It's good to dream isn't it, haha

Damion,Skyline cables are just as easy.I have set them up in Marks RS.You need to bolt the cable brackets to the floor.No shortening necessary[%]

Well now that the handbrake lines are connected round the right way and bled again.. the handbrake feels sensational just need wheels to roll the car around on for a test, haha

Sweet, handbrake cable doesnt sound like a major issue then luckily.. ill just run it a bit slack so it doesnt interfere with the hydraulic's functioning.

So do you just cut the cable mounts off of the skylines floor ?

thanks.

Good to hear it works!

Im pretty sure one side mount on the skyline bolts up.You just use the bolt on one for both sides

Looking great Phil. Are you comming to SFS this year? I would love to see your car in the flesh.[:p]
With your new ECU set up, does it have the options of having an EGT or 0@ sensor in each primary exaust pipe. I have just been wondering, as i think this could lead to sleghtly better understanding of how the motor is working. But that is just a thought.[x2x][x2x]
It looks like that is the type of hard where i will need to add to my car a bit later down the track.[%]

I probably wont be at SFS,but will see what happens between now and then.The car isnt completely tuned yet and i dont realy know when that will be sorted at this stage.I may come down if it is all sorted in time and work permits.

The SM4 would read a pyro I would imagine,it can be set up to do heaps of different things.

Here we go again[:p][;^)]

The next round of mods,well this is more a refinement of existing gear

The front end geometry is not quite right,so after the Bathurst Cruise I will be pulling the front end out,moving the engine back about 15mm and the crossmember back about 35mm then remanufacturing the crossmember,engine mounts and gearbox mount.This will also entail a new exhaust and possibly a new turbo manifoldDepends on how inspired I am at the time[;^)]

This is the first stage under way



This is roughly what the engine mounts will end up like[:p]




And this is similar to the new gearbox mount
