I couldn't agree more that the stock brakes are already very good. Before bedding the brakes, there was a great improvement on the pedal feel. However, afterwards they felt mushy - it got better the past few days, though. Haven't had time to bring it back to the shop to try and bleed it again, and check on the pads.. Will keep you posted.

They are quite big, didn't look that much bigger compared to stock (as you can see on the comparison pic), but when we got them on they were much thicker.

Just got back from a drive to NJ, NY and back.. The car now has about 7000 miles with the kit and there hasn't been any major issues.

Been thinking lately about seats.. especially the Recaro Sportster CS

Thoughts? Wondering if it'll affect the comfort aspect since it's a DD for me...




also been trying to find more info on the cf back.. would love to get my hands on these!

Nice seats !!

[R Durty 2]

I have also considered these seats but I was not able to get any information concerning the airbags

[carchrism5]

do the seats, they look really good
and I was behind you when you were leaving the R32 event at NJ Motorsports Park on Friday and hot damn that car sounds good

VWoA had their 2/5000 turbo MKV r32 at the event this weekend and they had the Recaro seats, and they had the fold forward feature so that you could get in the back too, but i doubt they would give you any information on how they got it done in regards to airbags

[telaio]

In Europe one loses some of the side-airbags with the Recaros...that's why I didn't even consider them..

Mm just spoke to a distributor, and apparently the side airbag option is not available in the US..

Hi Sekel:

So how is the C2 Stage 3 tune these days? Are you now on 15psi? How is the DSG holding up? Still cannot believe with this much power increase that there has been no mechanical modifications to the DSG except for DSG prof software changes.

What is your 0-62mph sprint figure for this kit? How about 1/2 mile sprint figures?

Thanks.
Jig.

Hi Jig.
Im sure zevion will answer you soon but i can put my 2 cents about C2 stage3 as im running it right now.
The tune is awesome on 15psi, i logged my AFR and every other important values the first days i started driving with so much boost and everything looks rock solid.

The dsg is also rock solid and holds the power just fine, im very impressed and there is no "slipping" under full throttle on any gear. I cant talk for future but as it is right now it feels very safe. I run daily on 13psi without any problems so far.

0-62mph sprint is very fast, looks like im below 4,5 seconds on 15psi :)

[Jaffy]

with the Speedster Seats, does recaro have color matching leather to our interiors?

[sekel87]

Bringing this thread back to life! Hey guys, just got back from summer vacation. Got to mod and drive the GT-R back home and I'm dying to put more power in the .:R :D

Over the summer I finally got the fuel pump in, and now it's running a good 15psi. The car pulls well, but there are still more to come! Currently ordering HPA's intake manifold, and in the process of working out clutch packs with them as well. I am determined to have this car running as fast as the R35

^ What itouch said. The DSG is holding up great with the amount of power it's putting out now. 15psi with the fuel pump in is just awesome to drive. No slipping, and like he said, rock solid C2 has made an awesome kit!

Will be going back to the strip and doing some dynos soon so I can compare to the modifications ahead! Good to be back.

And a little extra, my friend with the orange RS4 wanted to have a run and so here is the result. His mods are the Milltek non-res catback and a shortshifter. Sorry for the bad video, didn't have a camera with me.

RS4 is a bit heavier maybe?

[itouch]

a bit heavier but have 420hp and much torque oem, and with milltek non-res and shortshift even faster. Very nice result for the R, nice run sekel :)

[zevion]

Nic vid. I'm loving mine as well. Hey, I should have read your old posts close. I purchase S6 lights and then discovered the intercooler is in the way. I don't like them up top like the S6, they only look good on the bottom IMO. So I guess I'll ditch them. Oh well.

Hey Zevion, don't ditch them yet! They do fit.. What my guy did was he put them upside down rather than the conventional way of doing it and they will fit. He worked some magic on the bumper and now they're back on and the fitment is even better than before.

Aaah. Sweet, that sounds like a plan. You didn't take any pics of the install by any chance?
