    -16 is weak. -45 is where it's at.

    Yes, avoid cometic hg on SR's. Mine lasted a few years and then started to leak from combustion chamber into water jackets in a few spots and that was with arp 2000 head studs doing the clamping. I replaced it with a Nitto. Was pricey but meant to be the goods. I also hear good things about cosworth hg's and are a bit cheaper i believe.

    Yeah out of those options 9.0 would be the go.

    If the plan is to run constantly on e85 9.5 or even 10:1. Will help off boost and lower rpm dramatically considering no vct and on e85 knock wont be an issue at all. Will need conservative timing and boost on 98 though.

    Looking back at the results, everyone in my group struggled. Ferarri 488 GTB (500k supercar) 1.41 Porsche 911TT Carrera S 1.39 VF HSV R8 1.40 Considering the above cars all have electronic trickery to help them out, the skyline still did ok with nothing, not even abs but yeah wasn't fun. Quickest cars on the day Porsche cup car on proper wets (driver has balls made of steel) 1.29 Ex HSV V8 Supercar on wets 1.33.4 A couple of Renault Clio 172's ran 1.42 and 1.43 but that was on a 95% dry track. In summary, got beaten by a bloody Clio 172 at Sandown. Demoralising.

    Definitely needed luck, unfortunately didn't get any. There was parts of the day where it was 90% dry but whenever my group was up it seemed to start raining again, no dry sessions at all. Was a struggle to get under 1:50, was like driving a rudderless ship. Managed a 1:44.5, easily the worst track day I've ever done weather wise. Rwd skylines with a bit of power and standing water at Sandown is not a good mix or fun. Other than non existent traction,car ran good and made it home in 1 piece. Overall feels like it was a big waste of time and money, now i need to book another Sandown day soon. Such is track life.

    Next track day is coming up this Sunday. Its round 2 of the vic supersprint championship at Sandown. The weather at this stage isn't looking great but I'll keep my fingers crossed. Everyone's in the same boat anyway, especially if they're driving an R33. Hopefully we get a dry run, im keen to see how the new diff and 4.3 ratio goes. Hoping to not have to use 2nd gear anywhere.

    Also took out 9.5kg of dead weight with this. Full river hc18 7.1kg The one it replaced was 16.6kg. When i bought the other battery, thats all i could get quickly, our stagea needs a new battery so i took the opportunity to get rid of the heavy bastard. Win win. The hc18 packs a bit of punch for the little thing it is and can be mounted laying on its side if you wanted too.

    Not much has been happening, just been daily driving and enjoying this. For my records, i did a minor service a couple of weeks back, replaced engine oil, filter and coolant at what the odometer was showing as 85 000 km. Sorted a couple of minor issues. One being a rear end knock which after months of chasing ended up being a subframe locking collar not seating well and slightly loose bracket bolt. Also figured out why the diff was overflowing from the breather, too much oil. Wasn't a good idea pre filling it before installing the diff. Also installed a see through inline filter on the breather tube, so i can monitor if the overflow stops or catch anything that does. Other than that i've decided its time to get some half decent safety gear. I got myself an omp FIA approved nomex race suit. Replaced my expired sabelt harness with a monza by autotechnica harness. I compared the 2 side by side and am pretty happy with it. Quality wise its almost as good, the buckle on the sabelt is built a bit better though. The monza is FIA approved and was half the price of the big brands. Im just running it with a series 3 R33 GTR seat that i picked up a while back, eventually I'll upgrade to a proper fixed back seat with a slot to run the harness as a 6 point. Will also eventually get a Hans device and new helmet to suit as funds become available.

    So when it cuts out, does it fire up again straight away?
  12. admS15
    Mine was due to axle tramp.
  13. admS15
    I can confirm s chassis subframes are known to crack. Mine had a hairline crack where the rear diff bolt holes are. Where the diff cover mounts into the subframe.

    Good luck with the Tapatalk guys. They've made a real mess of tapatalk recently with the constant vip subscription spamming making the app constantly crash and be useless. I smell photobucket v2 happening.

    You could try getting said idiot to pull the boot release lever while you try push/pull the valet switch with the coat hanger. Pulling the boot release may make it easier to move the switch. If you stick your finger in the empty lock hole, can you feel a little rod sticking out? If that rod is there, pushing that to the side should release the boot too. Thats what the key lock basically does.

    No pics of catch can atm. Its just a home made job using steel wool and some wire mesh plate as baffles. Ill try to get a pic for you tomorrow. The pcv does help when used in a factory or plumbed back system. I believe you are meant to remove the pcv when venting to atmosphere. Have you done some basic checks on your engine, like a compression test just to get some idea of condition. That should show if there is something drastically wrong.
  17. admS15
    That is the right spot, yes. Going to need something more solid than a coat hanger to move it though.
  18. admS15
    I had this same problem and ended up just removing the 3 10mm bolts from the boot latch locking mechanism with a shit load of extensions on a ratchet and then lifting boot open. The valet switch is behind the plastic trim at the bottom, you have to flick up a little plastic panel to access it. Mine was jammed, so i did the above.
  19. admS15
    Unopened motor, no breather. Catch can is baffled and attached from passenger side rocker cover and then plumbed back in to intake. Car makes over 300rwkw on e85 and high flow turbo and has done over 20 track days like this without issue. Edit, factory pcv setup is also still present and functional.
  20. admS15
    Agree, not normal. I hardly get any after a whole day of thrashing (40+ laps) The only time ive had a fair bit was when i had overfilled the sump too much, i now only run 300 ml extra oil above the h mark and only get a few drops worth by the end of a track day. No oil mods at all.
  21. admS15
    Yep sounds like thermostat issue.
  22. admS15
    Congrats man, wow. Nice upgrade[emoji106]
  23. admS15
    The br also has a slightly larger diameter piston and shock body. For $100 extra its a no brainer really, unless your strapped for cash. @Bullus kudos motorsports stock tie rod ends for M35, you can get the part numbers off their web site.
  24. admS15
    Fixed. M35's run around 14psi stock.
  25. admS15
    I dont think there is anything different about the axis shocks compared to a normal stag, Arx versions sit higher. BC BR will be fine.
