Yeh, worth the wait. I knew after speaking with David that he would be great for one of our meetings. Even if you werent into cages he was great to listen to , and has so many years experience in motorsport any car lover could listen to him all day.

Tonight just re-affirmed my intention to go for a 4 point cage with diagonal bar, harness bar and bolt in side instrusion for the track (lol + a CAMS compliant camera mount to catch my next crash). If people are serious about going ahead with this, he is happy to do a good job for us. Im not overly fussed about knuckling down a 'Group Buy" price as such. In my eyes, happy to pay money for a good product, as in my eyes its already great value. But that said, there is effeciencies in cutting 3-5 lengths of everyhting while all the jigs etc are all set up and it seems we could pocket a $50-100 saving just by being a little more organised.

So if you are interested, pm me your email address and we will get something sorted via an email mailing list.

On a side note, its my hope to get a similar motorsport orientated speaker every 3-4th meeting. The guy im trying to line up now will be very cool if it pans out. :dry:

He actually was classified 1st in handicap points. Fair effort that.

Anyways - I'm super keen on the half cage with removable diagonal / harness and side intrusion bars. Not sure if one size will fit all but for under $1K it sure is piece of mind and I get to keep the back seats.

Thanks Guys for your kind comments. The lil GTR ran well and we even took a stage win off Jim Richards in Stage 2 which is one to go to the 'pool room'. If anyone wants to know about our Tarmac experiences I am happy to help where I can as the learning curve has been pretty steep.

Cheers,

Drew

I have updated our Youtube page with a stage run from last weekend. Apologies for the quality, it looks much better on the plasma at home I can assure you.

I thought the meeting was next week. Sad I missed it. I've been seriously tossing up a cage for a while. I really want to run on slicks and stiffen up the car plus minimise the crash factor.

Could I please have a point brief on the half cage keeping the rear seats in? Also did he give an indication on prices?

Drew could you pm me with what you have done to stop the car being taily. Your car seems to handle really well with little under or oversteer.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
