Yep, amongst other things. hehe

Well, thats one way to do a membership drive. I am sure it would be a winner.

Strippers! Where! Hi Warwick, James

mmmmmmm

Can't do any surveying in the rain. I might get wet I suppoes I could catch up on some computer work.

Morning guys. Mmmmm rain, means no work for me! Sweet.

Well all my stuff is now fitted to the GTR, consists of:- Reconditioned APEXi T-max coilovers with king springs (F - 300lbs, R - 225lbs) Cusco adj caster rod Whiteline front camber adjustment bush Cusco Rear adj camber arm Height set at 355m from centre of wheel to guard front and rear. Initial feeling is pretty good. Have only done 200km in the car since I got it back but it seems good. The overall ride on full soft is only marginly stiffer than stock if at all, but the car feels a little unbalanced at this setting. Either the front springs need to be stiffer, or the rear a little softer. There isn't much in it, but it doesn't feel right. If the front shocks are wound up to about half way (between full soft and full hard), and the rears left at full soft the car feels very good. It absorbs mid corner bumps well, but feels much more stable than the stock spring/shock setup. The current alignment settings are as follows:- Front Camber = -1.5 deg Caster = 4.0/4.5 deg Rear Camber = -1.0 deg Can't recall the toe settings off the top of my head at the moment. Next will be a set of whiteline adj sway bars. Depending how the first track day goes I may try some 350lbs springs at the front?? We shall see. The car is still nice to drive, not too hard by any means. I think its pretty close to what I am looking for, a nice street package that I can do the odd track day with. Any suggestions with the spring rates. I think I remember reading somewhere SK, that your wet weather spring rates were 350lbs front and 200lbs rear, and you thought this would be a good street package. I am pretty much heading for that at the moment, although the current setup feels ok I think the front could do with a little more stiffness, or maybe make the rear a little softer?? Any adjustment for the camber/caster?? I am thinking of winding another degree of caster in (to 5.0/5.5). Any thoughts?

With those mods I would be expecting a little more. Just got my 33 GTR from compliance about 4 weeks ago, took it to Willowbank completely stock (except for BBS rims and Yoko 265 tyres and APEXi BOVs) and ran a 13.467, although the clutch was fairly average by the 8th run. I have a friend with a 33 GTR also, with similar mods to you, and although he hasn't taken it down the quater he is definately quicker than me, by a fair margin.

I will be back later, NBA is back on.

mmmmmm, and is good. Bring on the mountains!

Good Evening Lads. Today is a good day.

Added some more goodies to the GTR: DBA 4000 series rotors slotted front and rear Reconditioned APEXi T-Max coilovers with King springs (300lbs front and 225lbs rear) Cusco rear adj camber upper arm (running -1 deg) Cusco adj caster arm (running 5.0/5.5 deg) Whiteline front camber bush (running -1.5 deg) Currently sitting at a height 355mm from centre of wheel to guard. Suspension is done, just need the sway bars. Just in time for the skidpan day!!!

Gotta pick my car up from the suspension place this arvo. Was supposed to be ready yesterday, and now its all wet so I can't test out the virtue of the new suspension. Also placed a bid on a 4dr today, won't know till later if we got it or not.

Now that was funny

I am bored, I hate sitting around waiting.

There is plenty of interesting solutions to that problem :sly:

My word is Bastard, Bastard. I want to be different.

Ppppffffttttt!

Afternoon Bastards.

I'm already bored, its not even 8 o'clock yet!

Good Morning.

I gotta go, might be bacj later, see yas.

Ahhh John, there is always next Wednesday.

I am a little slow, can someone fill me in on the new "points" thingy. Whats that all about?

Good evening people
