fingers crossed good ! yes its an issue haha didnt even know about insta sau must increase my non existent e - game !

diffuser is bigger than I thought but its the same as everyone else as universal so maybe the lack of bumper or camera angle... or its just big 100% can see the value a flat floor would bring though to join it all together Yes planning to be over east previous to WTAC and not just at SMSP - just need to organise storage of all my stuff + car etc as Im not going to drive over and back multiple times its not horrible but its really not the most fun and I just dont have the time either ABS - big $ yeah + install etc etc. the spend of cash still comes down to the individual ... I did fine without it but 100% I am braking better with it and have picked up time - that just comes from me as an amateur being able to push it harder without the threat of locking a tyre and 1) screwing a tyre and 2) going shooting off into the sand which adds confidence In essence you can use your brakes to their limit - pretty much every time In addition - I dont know your rules and regs but the wheel sensors im now using for traction control and the torque control mapping model for the Motec

Some know some dont but I'll try keep this updated as this is where it started Last bit of aero added rear diffuser and side duel element canards We added a header tank now just to run some water lines and give it a tickle. Hopefully by end of March im in the seat and we can start working and the organic spacer All fancy parts etc aside. I'll drive whatever ive got as hard as I can but I hope we just have a balanced car that only needs tweeks here and there... which never happens 😆 Side note: that poor gtr front bar has been chopped, added to, changed and riveted to an inch of its life lol and was considering putting a rear bar back on now I have a diffuser just for looks but thats not just a straight fit on which the extra wide body and the rear qtr being cut so high and also the amount of this I have to get to under the back now is redic so it all might just stay like this for ease 😕

depends how much you wind it up maybe 🤞 little bitta flavour for you... newly developed duel element front canards in coming

😆 soon, dyno about 2 or 3 weeks away plus new aero additions are on way over too then ill hit the track again me thinks

Pretty sure there are 2 sizes of bushings at the bottom mate. I remember having this issue at some stage along the way also

Because build thread... Pulled the fab apart, I got on the paint brush and tidied it all up. My bit is good from far but far from good but hey... racecar Now to run some new oil and ps lines bang some bigger injectors in and send it

solid effort mate did quite a bit a racing and not HUGE breakages for the year considering VET package looks good !

ive not had any cracking or anything of seam sealer/ welds or anything my cage goes right through to the front strut towers so maybe my car is rigid already so doesnt effect as much

100% fully weld im not feb guy / car builder etc but I dont see why you wouldnt want as much rigidity as possible + when are you ever going to remove or repair ?

😁 it does the job nicely! Theoretically you get higher top end We can swap !? Think we could manage the 300 rpm although dont think I need more top end 😅

left the tubs though... for now #notatubeframe

it better go good 😅🤞 The splitter is supported at the back on the front cross member and has a frame at the front that just slides into the slots in black either side of the intercooler - these are connected to the chassis rails There is an air dam built onto the splitter the bumper then just sits up against the air dam, seals against the intercooler and its pulled tight and dzus clipped on each side

Currently working on increasing the effectiveness of the cooling system while simultaneously improving aero. Previously with oem everything up the front it was hard to package everything and get it working efficiently but we did a pretty good job. Discussions where had and the move has been made to stack the intercooler/ oil cooler and rad together, completely seal it and vent it out the bonnet. We stopped short of a full tubeframe front .. well just because... but everything got moved forward and tilted forward The intercooler has been flipped back to traditional position, this has increased the cooler piping length but quite a bit but considering how this thing it tuned and manages boost, response will not be affected Previously had a 25 row oil cooler and carbon shroud with 4" ducting going from the front bumper directed into the wheel well. This actually cooled very well but considering I was doing all this, I want to to the wick up a bit more and aero wise it wasnt super effective having hot air going on the tyre, brakes and into a high pressure wheel well there is now a 50 row Setrab sitting sealed inbetween the intercooler and radiator. The venting will obviously go out the bonnet reducing under bonnet high pressure area and taking away unwanted air going under the car. The tyre warmer turbo/ front tub cutout has now been sealed off which we previous didnt get to Keep on ticking away this bit is nearly finished will now pull it apart and make it a little bit more pretty also though the raw chromoly and ally go ok i think too

Think that part of the discussion developed from my hub bearing issues not in relation to subframe situation Double A arm and associated upright wld solve alot of issues but... yeahhhhh

I just remembered ! https://kiwicnc.com/en-au/products/nissan-r32-33-34-gtr-motorsport-uprights little bit out on pricing though - rounding error I sound like a performance workshop now 😆🤐

WA Time attack was cancelled this year there was to other major motorsport events on the same day / weekend and I think they just called it early to not make a big loss if no one turned up even though I think they wouldve still had an 80% + field ... alas no chance at lowering my PB at Barbagallo again yet (im not saying carco.com.au Raceway.. im just not ready for that ) Our State sprint series had their final round down in collie a track circa 2 - 2.5 hrs down from Perth. Great track techical, curb hop friendly and a little bumpy - all things not suited to my car haha Ive barely been down there but this is where I blew my engine last year and not had good time on a few other occasions I took the time to go down a day early and got to do a few prac laps and find a groove ish - its was already hot 35 deg - not great First noted - car really only liked doing 1.5 laps - by then the tyres were gone and it was starting to be o the edge of being hot but OK Comp day - did 2 prac laps did a 71.X which is pretty solid using lowest power but driving pretty hard felt alright The temp on the day was already rising and was going to be a hot on ended up hitting 41 deg ! So first timed run out the gate , only morning run lower temps might go OK , put a little boost into it all was going good but came out of a 2nd gear chicane at end of a straight planted it thought traction control and I as the steerer had it but dropped a wheel in the dirt spun around sat in sand / gravel till go pulled out Didnt get another run till after lunch by that time its was 35 deg again - ran lowest power drove hard but nothing really worked how it should brakes, tyres etc but solid result with a 72. X From there just packed it up unfortunately, just too hot and running wouldnt go any faster and no reason Ultimately very tough day - really should get this thing down into the low 70's at least but I think be tough to get much more out of it on this type track for me Came way with 1st tin top and 2nd overall to a killer radical the changes with the suspension re: sways and from others tweeks worked well for what I could feel on a lower speed track so happy with the way that progressed thats me for a big year even though I didnt compete that much it was a very full year The next changes and updates start Friday Hopefully some more adventures, PB's and no doubt hair loss due to stress in FY '24

yeah thats getting fairly ridiculous for mine and most peoples budget also. 100% appreciate it might actually cost that much to make + + on top and all that but for the amount it 'cures' in terrms of some lighter, pad knock and some bearing issue it doesn't add up for me there is place in NZ doing billet knuckles the same that got mentioned a few weeks ago to me as being pretty decent had a look once was in the $4k's i think.. but now I cant think of them na I spoken to that guy i dont trust him at ALL 😅 jokes everyone its alright ... yes agree Ive got half his stuff etc in my car and goes alright He does have a solution but not currently in my budget

no photos of damage atm - - Ive jus bought a new subframe each time - one is sitting in back of my garage somewhere one is still in the car abut to get taken out had a look everywhere else - no mounting point issues Just from WTAC new ikea formula tie rod ends both side have massive play, the J arm coupling to hub is busted on the driver side and one rear lca rose joint has too much play in it combination or braking and aero I suspect glad Ive been talking about adding braking and we are adding more aero now too 🙄

Castor boxes are fine - they are well braced but yes prob need to relook and add agree on accessing the actual cause we are 90% its the horizontal load but good thgts on the twisitng initially much bracing will have to be added - have an event in 10 days odd so do that the GTR subframe is totally different and although Brads red rocket wasnt allowed to use ABS he is as hard as anyone on the brakes and still did bend a frame like this alas - there is no 'off the shelf' chromoly frame to purchase so may get to the point of custom - get a 3D scan and made I do not know why Nissan engineers did think of all this stuff over 30 years ago - its ridiculous really 😅 I used to wonder why you didnt see cars similar to this or more out at more events - Im getting to know why - its tough just keeping them together Ie: Even with chromoly front spindles in the hubs to reduce deflection under load wheel bears are are consumable ever 3 or 4 outings now

brake harder they said... get abs they said...itll be fun they said In the space of about 60 laps since putting the bosch abs in and getting proper use ive managed to bust 2 x front subframes They are bending backwards and cracked at the end where the lca mounts and also destroying the mounting holes This is obviously coming from the additional braking force and is a frustrating problem to have and a solution needs to be found asap

not at the price id be selling it haha - wouldnt be that much more that the a piece delivered to you from Freddy... topstage its great stuff ! 😃 and I have 90% of the wooden box my syd comp stuff came over in Id do an s13 or s15 - clean and good no aero, light, good suspension and brakes - for a 'do all events car' 500hp tops it would go well - front winglets need attention not hard. personally Id chop them down and bring in end plates to match the topstage rear wing + as above

very nice! reminds me of V1 of my car - clean slate - quality build with knowledge incoming sorta makes me want to build something again new and clean - but that thought also gives me shutters down my spine I still have my old aero - postage / transport might be the killer though

apparently fitment issues fixed in latest models am yet to see or hear though It'll work - especially coz you not running big power I assume given rally ? just keep an eye on EMAP - they are a nice bit of gear just for that $ you want things to be 100% and also better than the competition I got 'redirected' to tried and proven 6 boob but aiming for bigger power end

🙄 seems to be a thing Runners smaller that engine ports Eject..
