IJ, it would be interesting to hear what DBA have to say about the temp differences. Have u thought of giving there tech dept a call for a chat. As for the alloy hats, I doubt u'd really see much temp decrease due to the hats, but could be wrong... Someone should really break this thread...

Do the 5000's have the 'kangaroo paw' vanes? Did u're 4000's?

Flush. I agree ducting direct to the center of the rotor would be better, but u try getting decent ducting there on a MkIII! Good luck lol! And for the degree of effort, is it worth it? IMO & experience not, but it depends on your rotor/caliper/pad/wheel setup. Whereas the splitter is pretty...

Do ureself a favor, by some thermal paint (Brembo for example), around $AU200 and will last you forever. Paint u're rotors, then match u're pads to your rotor temps. A quick and easy way to drop front rotor temps is to make up a makeshift splitter under the front bumper. A piece of 3-5mm...

That's around 240kph+, at Pukekohe!, that's a very fast car u got there! What top speeds were the V8's getting when they raced there?

Easter 2010. Put it in your calendar :)

The dipper at speed is like a good rollercoaster. U drop the car in and it just rolls on out! Magic :) Only got it close to right on my last lap of Race 1. I'm so looking forward to going back next year :D

haha, were they Japanese tourists lol! Coming down Forest Elbow onto Conrod is very, very steep, u wouldn't have to try hard :)

Yep, unsighted corners, concrete walls right next to the track, very steep rise and falls, and a very fast straight (Conrod) with the fastest corner in Australian motorpsort (Chase entry). Yep she's a fun track to drive ;) Thing is too at 60kph (this is a public road) it is a lot more...

haha, yeah I get around ;) She's a JZA Turbo R I believe...

Engine's a stock 1JZ with a single Garret turbo, not a big one as my category requires I run a 36mm restrictor on the turbo intake, so no point going big with the turbo. Currently 290rwhp. Car's still on the trailer in the garage, but we've stripped off most of the front and it looks like...

Great vids mate. Love the commentary lol!

Video's from Race 2 on Saturday. Unfortunately they don't show the accident, batteries went flat, I was doubly pissed about that :icon_evil I was running late to dummy grid so started the in car camera in the garage thinking I probably wouldn't even make the 1min board, but then we sat in...

Unfortunately Race 2 didn't go to plan... Our second race after lunch was raining and very wet, so I was basically just circulating, staying off boost and just waving everyone by who came up behind me. I was only revving it to around 3000 before changing gears, cause as soon as boost kicked...

Onto Race 1, the highlight of my weekend We were first out on a completely dry track after a lot of rain overnight. I wasn't sure who was fast behind me so I decided to stick to the right hand side off the start so as to have the outside run up the mountain, and the inside line into...

Hi Guys, meant to post a thread up for this before the event but was just too busy prepping the car. I got to realise a dream at Easter, to race my Supra on the hallowed bitumen of Mt Panorama! Following are some pics and links to videos of Qualifying & Race 1. Full commentary at the...

How hard is it to fit a cooler to a stock diff housing?

haha, never mate ;) I think I should be OK. I'm only ever gonna be over 200k's for a few seconds every couple of minutes, except at Bathurst next year :)

Was this on an oval?

Still, if I'm looking to build a diff with a new Kaaz center for example, it'd be a good idea to include the aftermarket crush collar eliminator mentioned in this post? http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430339
