thread about shimming the stock viscous unit here> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=160540

I might put the hard word on SK to do a more track orientated setup for the GTSt

Coool - thanks Nick. Does anyone know if there's a shim on both sides of the L.S.D. centre, or just one side? I'd rather shim both sides equally, rather than just one.. . . .

You're still street-driving your R33, yeah? Maybe You should come for a ride in My beeaaatch before You go looking to go too hard in the suspension. . . . .

yeah would like to come for a ride (I see you have a background in karting too, might need some driving tips as well hehe)... still drive it everyday but I live so close to work its not a big deal to leave it in the garage... I have being toying with the idea of buying a pushy for a while now... would keep my fat arse in shape!

yeah might just get some thicker swaybars, dial some more negative camber into the front end and then drop it another 10mm... it is still a little high as I get some tire scrub in the back (have been meaning to get the guards rolled...but you know... I'm lazy)

yep looks like that LSD mod is pretty temporary

Hey Bris, I'll buy you a slab for your achievement, your choice...

OK here's some incar footage, big files but good quality..

Will have to get some incar footage of yourself aswell next time, I reckon your taking hayshed and turn 1 quicker than me....

Nick, SK already has a set of coil-overs more orientated to track days, yet still pretty streetable. But if you are patient; once my car is back on the road, i'll take you for a spin, as i am about to fit the Tein-Super Streets. These have 32 damper/rebound (simutaniously) adjustments per shock, and should be great with the in-cabin controller (EDFC).

Car wont be ready till late July (i hope), as i am building a new engine, after cyl 3 dropped compression :happy: .

*Note to self* Next time, try not to end up at the front of a supersprint at PI with a Commo and 3 GT-Rs behind. ;)

Tried to stay out of everyones way...I need MORE POWAH!!!!

I'll look forward to that ride Al, should be a pretty complete package when all done :sorcerer:

hahhaah yeah that was pretty funny....

I have some SK shocks in my car and they seem to work really well and I'm only on street tyres. They were off one of the track GTR's he works on and they are meant to be used with semi's . The car seems really balanced even though it needs a front alignment after my DIY one to remove some front toe in went wrong one night before DECA and I still haven't got it right yet. Didn't want to wear out new tyres.

There is a lot of talk about abjustable dampening and rebound in shocks and if you don't know what your doing you will never get it right. I'm not a SK fan boy but from my car now and a mates 32gtst with SK street shocks only in the adelaide hills compared to his previous Tien's and my old Kyb's in my old gtst I was amazed how well it handled with a nice smooth ride and heaps of corner speed - didn't skid over bumps in corners. Would recommend them to you.

Also if PIARC isn't boked out on the sat I'm in. With some more front end grip with an alignment, the TSC and some new brake pads I really want to push the limit and get a low 1.50. I've never backed up a day at the same track so soon so there should be some more improvements to be made.

More videos from Brisby's car. The second one includes the lap that i put on youtube, as well as the previous lap.

EVIL i sez, EVIL ! ! Looks like some raw grip is missing from the rear too.. . .

hahaha, Funny. Im 14 beers into watching Casino Royale with Cheese. Sexy Beat and now Fastes Indian....and watching that lap....perfect! With the exception of the 14 or so mistakes :wave:

..oh , and Fastest Indian makes me want to spend lots of money to go and be fast :(

And thanks Tom/Ferni ;)

Great driving !! Car sounds cool too.

I'd say you have some serious setup issues. The rear looks unstable and squirmy. If you could improve the rear grip that thing would fly.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
