awesome, get those parts on

silvia love · « **Reply #366 on:** 10:25:01 PM / 05-Apr-12 »

parts are on dude, took the s12 to the track and drifted it yesterday. i got vids but they take forever to upload. i did get in a few good drifts but did spin out every run. i need more steering angle. i need to setup my coils properly. i need my ebrake to fucking work. i need an alignment. i need more seat time. all in all i learned a few things and pre-regged for event in two weeks. surpised my car is handling the beatings. i drive the car 120 miles roundtrip to the track, beat it and its still hangin in. pics and vids soon if they ever load

kae is actually pretty fun to slide i need moar power now tho haha

silvia love · « **Reply #369 on:** 08:13:48 PM / 08-Apr-12 »

yeah it definately has enough power to slide

my ebrake wasnt working at all.
im trying to figure out what rear pads would grab better. anyone running ebc red or green stuff pads? i have new parking cables and new rotors, just tring to decide on a good pad setup.
we can use s13 rear pads, right?

silvia love · « **Reply #370 on:** 10:22:38 PM / 09-Apr-12 »

pre-regged for april 18th sonoma drift! more seat time!

EightySix200SX · « **Reply #371 on:** 02:53:41 AM / 10-Apr-12 »

S13/14/Z31 ETC... pads will work all the same... locking the ebrake is pretty meh... Well our semi trailing arm kinda limits us there... We get more squat than lock back there damn IRS cars

Ju_S12_Turbo · « **Reply #372 on:** 05:10:21 PM / 10-Apr-12 »

lol well idk whats up with my car, it locks the e-brake no problems. I just have cheap ceramic pads. I know if you want lock city (bitch) you get project mu, My friend who just got his won pro-am swears by them, says they lock as good as a hydro with out the draw back. but they are like 120$ or something. Also heavy wheels will make it hard to e-brake.

silvia love · « **Reply #373 on:** 07:45:20 PM / 10-Apr-12 »

I was running stock steelies on the track and it wouldn't lock. I have some new rotors and gonna sand down my glazed Pads to see if that helps. I'm pretty sure my rear brakes are soo glazed there is no bite. I'll re-bleed my brakes again too incase there's any trapped air in the system.

silvia love · « **Reply #374 on:** 03:41:08 PM / 22-Apr-12 »

ordered the godspeed angle adapter, just got it in yesterday. suppose to give more angle than the tie rod spacers. gonna install it at work tomorrow then send the car out for alignment.

loving the new suspension! car drives 1000x better with the s13 adj. tension rods. one of these days i have to adjust the preload on the coils properly.

fixed my ebrake. my sliders for the rear caliper were seized up on one side. fixed that, installed new rotors and cleaned my pads up. ebrake locks like it never has. also bleed my brakes again got a little air out of the caliper that was seized up. once i get some more money or sell some parts im gonna order some q45 rotors and install my q45 calipers.

altima rotors are the same size and come in four lug so you dont have to redrill $22 a rotor on summitracing, but make sure its the 11in rotor not the 9in rotor they came in both

do you ever go to thunder drift?

Ju_S12_Turbo · « **Reply #378 on:** 05:04:15 PM / 27-Apr-12 »

Thats a lot of steering rack spacers lol. You should just run the sliver one, cause look how much I go over center just with the pmb 7mm spacers http://vimeo.com/40952451 like at the 1 min mark

Edit: Also rip those bump stops off for all of the angle lol

silvia love · « **Reply #379 on:** 11:40:32 PM / 10-May-12 »

yeah its a lot of spacer! but i love it. works well for me.

got a hydro handbrake for my bday from my gf. its a godspeed vers.2. good quality. used it yesterday, works great. bought a wilwood master cyl for it, which goes for $40. my stock ebrake pooped out on me again...its been nothing but problems.

drifted at sonoma yesterday, went well.

here some eye candy
my car as it sits now with the s13 stuffs ...i finally straightend the lip out!
