Good suspension, baffled oil sump, oil catch can and pump or the chassisbraces, weight reduction(improves handling and performance if you wanna acheive good results) rim, tyres, good oil,good clutch, there a shitload you need to do. But it all takes time.

Im a bit hesitant to introduce my k24 to the track but i have faith in after driving it....but the main issue for me is whether i can make this engine last. Im even considering a k20. But lets see.

but just bear all that in mind....best way to attain knowledge is to pop down to the track and talk to the right people and they will steer you in the right direction.

K24 engines are fine for track. My stock K24 EK was tracked in 40 deg weather down at Wakefield and hammered down Eastern Creek and 50 or so passes. They are built to rev and be driven hard from stock.

Really??? No B/Sump? nothing? Im pretty sure Hard constant driving like that without all those necessary items your engine wouldnt be to happy after 10 or so laps at eastern creek.

Your tyres will go off after 4-5laps at Eastern Creek so no point going hard for 10laps

And yes, no Baffle sump, its was a dead stock internally K24 engine Rev limit @ 7400rpm (it hit the limiter a couple of times)

You will need to shave the caliper bracket by 3mm. So the disc will sit perfect

Fastbrakes sell a conversion kit which might be of interest to you.

Lets you use your existing caliper with bigger rotors.

www.fastbrakes.com

They sell the caliper adapter bracket separately, soo hit them up.

Nick.

yeah just doing research, im keen on the bracket only now!

shift sells it for 550 whole kit, but you pay like 200 - 250 for the bracket

282mm disc are only like 200bucks

This I don't understand. You need to grind 2mm off, but why?

Is it to accommodate normal offset 15" wheels?
Is it illegal to grind 2mm off (illegal, in regards to how spacers are illegal)?

Agreed. I'm just finding blank DBA200, drilled to 4x100. Then try to find the knuckles and pick up a pair of DC2R Calipers which are relatively easy to find.

bigger brake setups have a different knuckle/hub/rotor offset
you need to grind down the bracket to center the rotor in the bracket, otherwise the bracket will just scrape against the rotor

^^^ What Vinny said. Correct!
