    The calipers just look really small compared to the rotor :confused: Maybe it's just the angle of the piccy.

    Aaah yeah I see what you mean. If yuo're looking at the photo of just the rotor and caliper (no wheel) it's because the caliper isn't bolted in - just hanging there/posing for the photo ;)

    Oh yeah I broke 2 ratchets undoing the caliper bolts on the left side!!! :mad: The 3/8" drive section sheared/twisted off from the ratchet head... oops!

    1/2" FTW! Get a socket set and breaker bar. Needed for any suspension work!

    I normally use my 1/2" impact wrench, but since the caliper bolts face inwards I can't get it in there and I don't have any 1/2" unis to do it from another angle :( It was bad enough paying $55 for the ratchet! I'm only supposed to be buying a dead long motor this month... no budget for anything else :(

    I use the handle for my hydraulic jack and fit it over the end of the ratchet - cheater bar FTW! :)

    Safety boost? and maybe some vac leaks?

    Running @ 12psi.... boost leaks seem a likely cause at this stage.

    Mine got 262hp @ 12psi, but my turbos are blown :'( so you are missing a fair bit of power

    I wouldn't be too worried about the dyno results kiz, Drokks car lost over 70hp from yesterdays dyno run to todays run. Yesterdays run was done on a dyno that is known to read low. From what I hear, pretty much everyone was down on power today.

    Well yeah I suppose... it is disappointing I guess, but it can only improve. Hopefully... I've never done a compression test, maybe Eric did one when I got the car?

    I did a comp and leak down test when I did the plenum pull and 100k, from memory they were all around 150ish with minimal leakdown.

    24mm spacers according to the tape measure, maybe they're supposed to be 25mm? I'm thinking they're el cheapo spacers, not billet aluminium or anything decent, one has a big ding like where someones missed their target with a hammer. They come with red wheel nuts to suit though! :)

    Nah I won't be coming... 202hp just doesnt qualify me for a mountain run... I can drop em off to ya if you want them though.

    you noob, someone's already said they're nissan calipers with brembo stickers. ;)

    He was referring to the immense size of my rotor, and it was ME who said they were Nissan calipers with brembo stickers.
