  1. A lot has happened over the past 12mths... STILL the same stock NEO from factory, STILL the factory headgasket...

    The engine is getting a bit tired but it is not stopping us from setting PB's and having fun!

    Here is our last track day at Wakefield Park, we are finally in the 63's and heading in the right direction for a 62 hopefully later in the year.

  2. Ummm... Wow!

    I was initially one of the guys complaining about these fans until i found that JEM had fit the damn thing backwards! So that made me look like a goose!

    I have been spinning mine to over 8000rpm for long periods at the track and have had no issues at all and the cooling system has been spot on ever since.

    You sure you didn't break an engine mount or something else as that sure looks like contact of some form? Ouch!

    Circuit Name: Wakefield Park
    Lap time: 1.035 (Natsoft and Race Chrono with GPS Reciever)
    Modifications: Stock... Officer! Basic bolt on gear as per build thread.
    Engine: RB25 NEO
    Power: Low Boostish - At a guess maybe 325kw @ 21PSI
    Suspension: MCA Red - 14kg front 6kg rear combo - Whiteline Swaybars F + R - Understeery but massive imrovement to before!
    Tyres: Hankook Z221 in 295/30/18 - Time set on same medium tyres from last year, have done around 6 track days now.
    Brakes: Alcon 365mm front, Alpha Omega 350mm rear setup
    Body weight: Heavy nugget still!

    So in summary, rear brake upgrade, 4PSI boost and swaybars made up a full second gain with plenty of room to improve!

  6. howd you go with your first crack at decent aero ??

    which bit you changing front or rear ?

    ive opted for cheaper version first as I know i'll prob smash it lol

    Aero was all set to neutral and power set to low while we get the suspension sorted :) In terms of spring rates i am waiting to hear back, will likely be the front and rear by a touch!

    I have already hit the ground with the carbon splitter as my old BC's were useless haha

  7. Finished installing all new stuff last night ... bar the new rims that are not here yet and front splitter in progress

    i'll go get a wheel alignment and have a few tuning sessions to see how it goes

    MCA recommended 11kg front and 5kg rear springs based on details I gave them about the car and tracks I run. We have more point and shoot tracks not a lot of high speed cornering unfortunately :angry: so he suggested a softer spring rate than usually apparently ... i'll go with what they say for obvious reasons and only $50 / per spring to change if necessary

    from jumping up and down n the front and back of the car which I know is a highly sophisticated testing mechanism ...lol.. they are far stiffer and progressive than what was in there previously

    MCA do a top job and you will be happy with the Reds... I just drove mine for the first time on the weekend with them and they were great!

    We are altering the spring rates on mine but not by much :)

  8. PM replied...

    The additional items are slowly becoming available -

    BC front coilovers with custom spring rates - Approx 11.5kg

    BC rear coilovers with standard spring rates - 6kg

    Selby front adjustable swaybar with end links - 27mm adjustable with 4 settings. Come with D rubbers too.

    Selby rear adjustable swaybar with end links - 24mm adjustable with 3 settings. Come with D rubbers too.

    Front left and right control arms with new Hardrace bushes and balljoints.

    GKTech front V2 aircraft grade castor rods with offset ends - very light but strong.

    GKTech front steering rack spacers for extra lock

    If sold as a package deal i will do the lot above for $1350 firm. No offers and not splitting them up just yet as i do not have the time.

  9. I am so glad I bit the bullet and bought these without any review from others using them on R33 boats... day and night difference over BC BR coilovers with softer springs.

    I could have gotten BC BR coilcovers for nearly half the price but I am so glad I didn't!

    Next track outing should be fun, BREMBO brakes going on and hopefully the weather is cooler!

    I ran the BC BR for a few track days and found they were too soft in the front, Road2Race then changed to a 11.5kg front spring which helped a bit... However since i went nutz with the modifications on my car and introduced aero i found they were wayyyy too soft and boaty now, poor splitter copped some damage at the test day...

    I had quite a few messages go back and forth with Josh at MCA in regards to the setup and we have ended up with a set of reds with 13kg front and 5kg rear, i have no idea what it is like yet but have also been told to revert back to standard swaybars and suspension etc (As mentioned by Duncan earlier there are 2 different ways with the suspension setup and i am going from the SK trend to the MCA i guess)...

    Unfortunately i wont be able to test until March, but it will be at Wakefield so i will know how they feel in comparison to the BC BR... Times wont be relevant as i have got rid of weight, added bigger brakes, bigger tyres etc...

    EDIT - And massive thanks to Dale for all the help with his wealth of suspension knowledge too!!! :action-smiley-069:

  10. Hi Guys,

    I will have a set of BC BR Coilovers for sale over the next few days, these are currently fitted to my R34GTT. This is the standard BC BR coilover setup, however the spring rates have been altered/improved by Road2Race Chassis Tuning. At the time of the upgrade we also put the coilovers on the shock dyno and the results were impressive given the price of them.

    The spring rates are currently 11.5kg approx in front and the standard 6kg rear, this was working well in my GTT and was very easy to drive.

    These have done very little work, the car has seen a number of track days and a couple of street drives since fitted so in terms of milage they have done bugger all, they were working surprisingly well for a cheaper coilover package however due to the new aero upgrade i have recently added this suspension no longer suits my application. I have upgraded to a set of MCA coilovers and will be selling these in the boxes they came in for easy transportation.

    These are perfect for an entry level track car or just a quick grocery getter.

    A link with info -

    http://www.bc-racing.com.au/bc-racing-coilover-suspension-kit-nissan-skyline-er34-gt-2ws-rear-eyelet-type.html

    These are currently $1399 new, asking price for this set is $950ono as they have been used.

    They are currently in the car, however will be removed in the next week or so. Currently located Newcastle area.

    If you are interested PM me and ill get back to you.

    I will also have other items such as Works XT7 rims, adjustable suspension arms and custom adjustable swaybars being listed shortly.

    Pics can be taken but they look like the images in the link above, the front springs are purple though due to the change.

    Cheers

    Mat

  11. Hey Mat I just saw a photo of your re-incarnated 34 in the R34s...please thread, looks awesome!

    Sorry to jump in but a quick question about the undertray, have you got a photo from underneath with the full front end in place?

    Are you running an undertray/diffuser out the back at all?

    I'm keen to DIY a flatter undertray for my GTT at some stage and looking for some pointers :)

    Hi Mate,

    No not at this stage, will develop it as time goes on but at this stage its just what you see in the image above.
