New DBA 4000 slotted discs arrived today. Good service from RB Motorsport, next dat delivery. They look less gay than the mangled MU's, and have funky temp indicators on them. 3 different strips that changed colour at certain temps.

trying to work out what happened to the old ones as they are showing very little wear, and lasted about 4 trackdays :lol: There is only 1 spot which looks like the result of a hot pad being stuck on. Maybe i just didnt bed them in enough/get them through enough high enough heat cycles.

new ones on

gave the oil cooler a long test today in quite warm weather....

the plate seems to open around 65-70 which is lower than i though it would be (any ideas what is supposed to be set at?)

Overall oil temps whilst driving round town etc (reading diff's off std gauge before and after) are down by about 10deg. From just under 90, to just under 80, maybe more liek just over 70.

Out on the road with some spirited driving - from around 100-110 down to about 88-90.

Seems to be working well then. Will test it on track tomorrow night. Could only get about 4-5 laps in before the gauges was starting to go north of 110 on Monday eve

catch tank turned up From RIPS in NZ

Adam Kindness · 17th August 2007, 10:25 AM

as you can see not the best conditions for cut slicks :P

hey guys, nice to see a GTR being used properly!

I noticed you using thread tape on your oil cooler fittings - which is a no-no imo. Earls type AN fittings use the internal taper to seal - not the thread. besides, most thread tape is not impervious to solvents and oil.

otherwise, go hard!

Adam Kindness · 26th August 2007, 12:55 PM

cheers....

Tomei twin entry fuel rail is on the way.... finally! Not very impressed with Nengun on that order! 3 months it took!
