Next SAU track day is kind of blended into one of the super sprints on 30th Oct, but I think a small mini tiny sneaky track day may be the go in September? At least I hope so 'cause I can't make the 30th :P

Interested to hear, what aftermarket brakes do you have on there?

Oh, and welcome!

pretty sure they're some sort of DBA slotted and drilled with sports pads, i wanna get an intercooler and oil cooler, and a replacement passanger rear strut (currently a little bent :() before i head out... or would it be fine with the stock cooler? and fixed strut obviously :P

I have an r33 with the stock intercooler and oil cooler (and pretty much everything else stock as well..). She's been running well with no issues for ~4 track days now, I'm just trying to take it easy and get the lines right though. My brakes and tyres overheat before anything else though, so It may be different with your set up :)

Agh yeah, the pads a really squeaky but are ment to be new, so I'm thinking they might be half decent ones?

Anyone have a stock series 1 coilpack they would like to donate to a fellow boat owner?? Hobart area :)

I've got a whole heap of rb coilpacks for sale off 2 motors i'm parting if you want a cheap one?

Early October sounds like a winner to me, I need to order in some new brake pads and get the rotors machined before I do any other kind of track work, as soon as they start to heat up and I brake heavily it feels like I'm driving over a never ending cattle grate :P

Will have to look into some specific dates for a sneaky practice

Yeah tweetywoof thats me, you say its a series one RB25 then yes they're exactly the same, RB25 series 2 don't use an igniter module on top of the motor and the series 2 coils have little modules on the top of each one that the normal ones dont..

Oh and just after $25 each

If my car isn't ready I'm deff keen to ride shotgun so I can see the lines and braking time! Bit worries about the blind left at the top of the hill though

i find taking it easy in and waiting for full visibility to exit helps :D

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
