Eastern Creek circuit setup for R34 street car
ChrisW434 replied to ChrisW434's topic in New South Wales
Yeah thanks for that. Sounds good, i'm keen to do it right and try to avoid those little mistakes so i can concentrate on the driving, and not have little things get in the way of a good time 👍🏻 -
Eastern Creek circuit setup for R34 street car
ChrisW434 replied to ChrisW434's topic in New South Wales
Thanks heaps for all that info, exactly what i was after. Great explanations as well. one question : your ride heights of 340/350; what point are they measured from? cheers! 🙌🏻 -

Hi all, i'm chasing some assistance on chassis setup for track days. Attacking my first track day later in the year and would like the car to have a decent setup with alignment, coilover settings etc. so i have a solid base to start with. Its a GT-T (will be 5spd), entry level BC Racing (BR) coilovers, adjustable GK Tech bits, the usual stuff. It should be making good hp, so i'm expecting that will overpower the chassis and my driving ability fairly easily at first haha. Goin to get some sticky tyres of some description too... suggestions? What ride height, spring preload, comp/rebound, tyre pressures are guys running? Any help/info is appreciated 👍🏻 Thanks in advance!

Just to add, the Ryco Z145A is not as gigantic at the Z115, but much bigger than standard. This on my R34 RB25DET Neo (same 3/4" filter thread) -

I boight a black HKS one (purely coz i like the way it looked haha), but i'm not happy with the way it only screws on about 1 1/2turns. Feel like it should screw on more than that. It's my first RB, can anyone comment on whether the OEM or similar screws on more than that? 🤔 -
RB25DET Crank Balancing
ChrisW434 replied to CLEM0's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Inline 6s balance out primary and secondary rotation forces so are inherantly well-balanced anyway. Weight matching pistons and rods is a must do i think (many builders go to the extent of weight matching either end of the rod apparantly as well) but for the most part, the crank should be sweet i reckon, i asked all these same questions awhile back. Verifiy bearing clearances as well. Also, ask the machine shop to remove oil gallery plugs and flush the gallerys as well, replacing the oem plugs with screw-in plugs. Just some food for thought... -
600RWHP RB25 Series 2 "Reliable"?
ChrisW434 replied to Blakeo's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Building it right, and treating it right are the main two things i reckon. Yeah it'll be reliable if its got good parts, but also assembling correctly in regards to measurement, prep, and clearances etc -
Stock Crank RB25 max HP
ChrisW434 replied to Victorgarage's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Hypergear turbos built a yellow GTT (that im basing my build on) that made 570kw at the wheels from memory at 40psi with a stock cranked Neo. Look on YouTube for it. Plenty of power for a rear drive street car in most cases... -
ER34 owner, Mechanical noob but into the cars. Looking to learn.
ChrisW434 replied to Jip's topic in Newbie Introductions
Modifying them is the best 👌🏻 obviously that can be very wallet dependant haha -
R34 GT-T coupe carpet??
ChrisW434 replied to ChrisW434's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Hmmm, thanks mate, good info. Carpet is cheap enough, it may be worth getting some, hacking it up somewhat, and posting the results to show others. I might have a crack haha -

ChrisW434 replied to ChrisW434's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Thats what i'm thinking as well. Theres a good chance it would be fine i reckon. I'm yet to try it, but plan to asap. -
RB25 Neo Block Compatibility
ChrisW434 replied to throckmorton's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
I'm building a forged Neo myself right now, and the different pistons allow for the different cylinder heads, and the relevant compression ratios. Got to run the correct piston to suit the head, if you want the package and known compression ratio to be simple, and easy to tune etc. Blocks should be same. Do some research on oil gallery restrictors (in the deck of the block) as well, as their configuration depends on the head you're running as well (VCT or non-VCT). Platinum Racing Products has a good diagram on their Insta page explaining this... I'm not a guru yet, so confirm what i've suggested elsewhere as well. But as far as i can tell, get those couple things right, and you should be sweet.
