disc skimming on car
had my supra discs skimmed today, had enough of pedal jumping and wheel wobble under braking.
started like this
marcus at disc skimmers came out with his pro cut lathe and finished up with this
havnt tried it yet but looking good, the main issue he said was the fronts, cheap spacers had been used and they wernt square so the wheel and disc bell wernt faced together square, so ive ordered some h and r cnc machined spacers for a dead true fit.
seemed very professional and discs look like brand new now, i will report how much better they are as soon as ive driven it.

he came to me and done it on my ramp.
i dont know how much my discs are new but i have the receipt for the brakes brand new 2009 £4960 ! so very worthwhile for me to try it.

Had discs skimmed on my mondingo a few years back as a wheel bearing replacement left the hub not quite square and the disc kept warping
Was a cheap effective solution the on car skim.

well the h and r spacers finally arrived so i got the car off the ramp last night and took it for a blast. all ive done is had disks skimmed, cleaned and greased all pads so the move freely and fitted new clutch hub carrier ring and had flywheel skimmed and my wot fueling has gone from 11.4 to 10.6 afr !
i could feel it aswell, hits 10.3 as i come on boost now which is so rich i could feel it starting to misfire ! so the engine must be under less load now so needing less fuel, so ive droped the fuel pressure off slightly so im back at 11.4 again.
the brakes fel 100% perfect now, 100 mph hard on the brakes no judder or squirming just pulls up in a dead straight line.
my base fuel pressure is running nearly 4 bar, god knows why it was mapped like that its ridiculous im hitting 6 bar rail pressure at 2 bar boost !
so i think i may get mgt to map it soon at 3 bar base pressure at least it will give the pumps an easier time.
