Why did I have to open this thread?

man....I think I might turn my 33 into a full tracky!

Currently she goes well in motokhana's like DECA and some supersprints, just thinking now, tidy a few things up, get some more $$$ and enter some more events, would love to do Dutton but I think my cash flow isnt there :P

speaking of Dutton....

How do you guys go about it with sponsers???

Where are you getting the lexan windows from and approx how much each?

i am getting them made through hi octane, if i havent recieved them yet so i dont have a price.

if you ring hi octane racing in sydney they may line a set up for you, i think they only have a pattern for the door windows so far.

i do know you can buy a gtr lexan kit from ikeya formula.

cheers russ

hi mate

if you have done a few events , you will love having a full track car, just try to make sure you know what you want.!

our car started off as a road car with a bit of weekend fun. now it is basically a registered track car rally car!

cant use it on the roads anymore.

also as others have said if you can do without it during the week it's a lot less stress when something breaks or you have an incident at the track! rather tracking you everday road car.

as far as duttons go, they are great but can get expensive trying to do more than one( but great fun:) )

sprints . hillclimbs, circuit club meets all a blast and fairly cheap.

with sponsors it is hard but some mileage can be had from events like the dutton because of the good media coverage.

results always help too and a good approach toward what you can achieve for the sponsor.

some of the most fun i have had , have also been the cheapest events i have entered.

and met some really good people along the way.

cheers russ

giant,

Thanks for the reply mate - much appreciated :laugh:

Ive got an R31 gxe as my daily so no problem with not driving the R33 all the time and if anything wrong, Ive still got transport!

I guess Im stuck at what to do now?

well....I know the car is going in for a Z32 AFM and injectors and powerFC retune

I then need a better diff...

other than that?

I guess strip the inside?

Would I benefit with a half rear cage in the car for my level?

plenty of locals can make lexen windows, pretty much any plastic/perspex place can cut them. Ours are getting done at a place in Castle Hill (don't have details atm) but will be under $500 front, rear and sides.

good luck getting it together Russ, there's nothing like a deadline to motivate

Good luck with the project giant, it will be nice to see you guys and the beast again at QR.

I think QR next print day is on Sat the 15th of Sep

Duncan, how much weight did you shave off with the lexen? I don't see why it should be illegal....if anything it will help to cushion the pedestrian head during an accident :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
