I must admit I am very impressed on the general attitude on this board, and even though there has been some whoring, I am very pleased with club240.com, i use to post on civicland.com and when the site first opened up it was very nice and then it went downhill and was overrunned by superdicks and a$$holes. club240.com on the other hand has been very pleasing with my dumb questions and my quest for knowledge about the 240sx and the almighty sr20det silvia motor. you guys are the best

Bigunitsnake2

yea some people are dicks . what do you have planned for your 240

SilvaPwr

well right now this (all in chronological order):

sr20det swap
300zx brake upgrade (with 5 lug conversion)
18x9 Volk Racing GTN Racing Wheels
Yokohama Rubber
Zeal or JIC Full Coilovers
GP Sports 180SX/(R)PS13 G Sonic Type R Aerokit

then stupid crap from there

Bigunitsnake2

dude just get some crossed drilled rotors why waste the money on a 5 lug conversion and 300zx brake upgrade

SilvaPwr

Volk Racing doesnt make wheels in the 4x113.4 lug pattern, so i need 5 lug, so while im at it, ill upgrade the brakes

I'm with Stupid

Rays/Volk makes 4 x 114.3 pattern wheels. BTW don't listen to bigunitsnake z32 brakes are better than stock crossdrilled rotors.

Bigunitsnake2

yea of couse bigger breaks are going to help but criss drilled will work fine

I'm with Stupid

No cross drilling is a BAD idea. It weakens the rotor and give less surface area for the pads.

Bigunitsnake2

no they keep the rotors cooler makeing the pads more effective

I'm with Stupid

So why aren't race car brakes cross drilled? It's not good idea, slotted rotors are much more efective.

Bigunitsnake2

crossed drilled slotted still serve the same perpose to keep the rotors cooler

SilvaPwr

I was about to say, slotted is WAY better...
well volk doesnt make the wheels I want in 4x113.4, the GTNZ or something like that, if you find em in that lug pattern, let me know

Import Fanatix

Volks only make up to 17 in some rims 4x114.3. its very hard to get rims for our 4 lugs. so that's the same reason i'm swapping my self.

cross drilled are good...ever seen Brembo brakes? MercedesBenz front rotors on all their new cars...once the one thing they have in common....hmmmm they all have cross drilled rotors. They help cool the brakes and also increase wet braking by up to 25%.

BTW to stay on topic, lets say that this is the only board I check. people have good opinions and have knowledge. Let's keep it rollin.

I am a member to many honda forums. The only one I stuck it out with was honda-tech. There are local guys on there and most of them know what they are doing.

use slotted brakes
