Youve got a GTS-4, pm [ABU53] and ask him how he launches. His car launches hard.

Huh?

A Cefiro.

We have set a goal and are having a meeting on Monday to address how we are going to acheive it, and also to finalise things. The weekly meeting was more of a meet up/cruise, not a club meeting.

Wayne, I would get a 2nd opinion about your rear wheels. Call steve on 32661500 (bob jane bloke)

R32 hubs wont fit. Ive just done a complete custom brake upgrade to my 31. PM me for info.

You have it in your hot little hands or what? You must post up a "road test" asap.

Stock S13 wheels sit in too far on my car and scrub 215 tyres. Get some wheels at LEAST 16" in diameter. R33 GTS Non turbo wheels bolt on, these would be a good option. Cheap and probably effective.

Fenn has been building his RB25DET R31 GT Passage for......well....years, and its finally drivable! He has just had it tuned, and once its engineered this loose unit will be out having fun with us. Its been a long time coming.

Regarding Tze/rb26dett's HKS twin plate clutch - I love it. It does take some finesse to get moving, but feels totally bulletproof and very precise, and the rattle sounds cool.

382 - heard good things about CNJ. Just watch Fulcrum on their pricing, do as much research as you can. They arent the only people out there that can do the job.

No you cant book now, but you should be able to get a spot if you are on the ball.

Ok guys, here's something different. This thread is here so that when you upgrade your car, you can keep everyone updated with each others progress. Heres mine.... Well after a few years, I am finally becoming happy with my car. What we started with was a basically standard R31 with an exhaust. Money has been the limiting factor in the evolution of this car. It has probably looked like ive been talking shit in the past, as the car hardly changed for a long time, but now its all happening. My custom brake upgrade has just been completed, and is a massive improvement and total success. We have gone from standard single sliding piston brakes front and rear, with small solid rotors on the back, to.... R32 GTS-t Master cylinder, booster, front 4 piston callipers, slotted front DBA rotors, rear 2 piston callipers. Import R31 Turbo front hubs. New rear handbrake design. HSV slotted vented rear rotors. Billet alloy spacers. All custom mounted to existing original struts and diff. No one we know of has ever done the rears before, so I was a bit of a guinea pig there, these ended up being easier than the fronts due to some misleading information supplied to me before and throughout the upgrade regarding the fronts. To do the brakes this way, with brand new rotors and all custom fabrication is not cheap, but it IS track ready and will be fully engineered. Cost : Lots Time taken : Over 1 month, longer than it should have due to parts hold ups and problems with information..... Stress level : off the scale. Other changes to the car are in the suspension department, with the car now sporting... Koni Reds Kmac adjustable strut tops Whiteline front strut brace Whiteline swaybars King springs 16x7 and 16x8 wheels. Cost : $1500. Springs/strut brace were free. Time taken : Too long, had the rears out about 6 times to adjust and sort them out due to being assembled incorrectly on the car i got them off. Stress level : 6.5 The car is a totally different piece of machinery now. No longer does it handle dangerously and repeatedly run out of brakes on mountain runs. It can be slid in a corner safely, does not understeer like a pig, has heaps more mid corner grip, and pulls up very hard, with heaps of control, repeatedly. Very happy. Moral of the story - if youve got some performance mod's you want to do, and you have the financial backing to do so, go for it. You will enjoy you car so much more, have so much fun, and unless it involves more hp, have a safer vehicle, more able vehicle as well. What have you done recently, and how did it go?

Hey 382, if you want some action to tide you over till the next one, come out on the mountain run I will be organising in a week or two. I just have to get my car finished off and then its on for young and old

Yeah i agree james, next one we will do probably a 12 person half day skidpan with more motorkhana runs.

time trials... Here are the results for the Skidpan Time Trials. 1. Q - WRX - 54.34 2. Marc - R33 - 56.83 3. slip - R31 - 58.80 4. Gary - 320i - 58.90 5. Mia - WRX - 60.68 6. MRE - R33 - 60.70 7. Bernard - WRX - 61.53 8. Raymond - S13 - 61.79 9. Belgarion - R33 - 61.92 10. Hilly - VL - 62.60 11. John - R32 - 63.45 12. Wayne - R33 - 64.99 13. George - Liberty - 66.38 14. Linda - WRX - 74.75 Luke/Mick - No Time - Wrong Direction On the LVMA it was 1.Steve - BMW 330 ci 2. Q - WRX then me and someone else equal third (1:03) i think, the results will be posted in a seperate thread later on.

R34 GTR M Spec comes in gold.

we only finished at 4:45pm yesterday jason! I think everyone was a bit pooped. Great day though, thanks a lot to everyone who came and participated, I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and learnt more about your car and going nuts in it. And also just how insanse some subie drivers are.....

Yeah I noticed that a long time ago in your sig MotoX, but I enjoy seeing it too much to say anything. My paint is so bad that you can sort of see the metal on part of the roof, am I eligible for membership to the Metal Sky?

The skidpan day is full

GTS-X's arent rare are they? Fair bit of money, but cheaper than doing it all to a std car.

How the eff you see kay did you get the loan then?

So why did you get it in the first place?

Sandwiches fruit cheese etc is provided to participants.

It should be remembered that spectators need to bring their own food. Gates will close when all competitors are in, and will open for 10mins at lunch time, and that is all.
