My old car had high rollcentres which is actually quite dangerous, I reckon if the roll centre is under the ground then the car can't roll above the ground! :)

As you found out, that isn't true. High CoG and low CoR = fall over (technically called excessive roll couple).

Way to ruin my stupid joke with facts and reason and logic!!! :wub:

To be honest I think the main problem was too much Peugeot.

pauls twoogle , is one beautiful looking r32 too ! it's a credit to him.

ross, yeah, the oil to water oil coolers are great, we are seeing much lower engine oil temps now! before we were seeing up to 130 degree's!

cheers russ

+1 for twoogle. Looking good on the DVD too Russ again well done.

Also thanks for the info i think ill get one as it can get hot here in wa.

lol. you crazy kid.

laurence.... world famous gaijin drifter and amatuer stunt driver extrordinaire

+1 again. :D Laurence hope your trip home was good.

i have ordered one of these Maple A-1 Gages, should arrive in a few weeks. will keep everyone updated once i get some camber & castor bushes in.

anyone know the equations required to calculate castor?

Hey mate, how did you go with this kit if you don't mind me asking?

I finally went past a newsagency and got my hands on a copy of HPI with the ignition DVD...

Hioctane GTR OMG!

the incar footage of that thing is something else!

The full lap of incar is incredible.

great work guys, it will be damn interesting to see how things will pan out with a few hundred less kilo's in the car.... or another car for that matter.

and perhaps some super sticky rubber, similar terminal speed to the Msports GTR says it all.

i can't get over that.... :blink:

in my final year of uni so i've only had fiddle with it - but not on track just yet.

i've spoken to sydneykid and managed to work out a few formulas to calculate the necessary alignments. the thing is there's nothing to compare it to - cant even go in to get a laser alignment to confirm the settings.

so far so good, from the minimal amount of play i've had i have no doubts that i've got the exact settings it tells me i have.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
