could find that he is running agressive grind on cam which sacrafice mid-range. Just speculating though.

You probably need the more aggressive ramp rates of the solid lifter cams to get the mid range and response that goes with the multi setup on the RB26s

cams..... :P

they are

Inlet 255deg 8.21 mm peak lift. Installed with 0.48" lift @ TDC (no variable timimg)

exahust 258 deg 8.22 mm peak lift. Installed with 0.18" lift @ TDC.

That should make the lobe seperation 112deg....I think.

The tourque line on the dyno is much flatter, doesn't have the boot response out of a corner I was looking for. I was only able to put in a short test this week and didn't get a chance to try much. just felt slow and sluggish down low and needed to be up in the revs. felt very forign. Gatton is this weekend so I have put it back to the old setup.

On that note, is anyone else going to Gatton?

interested mine is complete different. I'm still running stock cams and cam gears with the VCT.

What turbo are you running? I have responds everywhere compare to my oldsetup.

okay posting for phunky_monkey... please note I did not build it and haven't gotten it to the track yet but hey, what else am I going to do on a Friday

Previously owned by Nathan from the SAU Vic club

'96 R33 GTR, built by Ben @ Racepace many moons ago so is a bit old school

Built motor with Tomei gear, pistons, big cams, springs, lifters etc etc... with Benno custom sump and catch can etc

Trust T517Z 8cm turbos

Trust FMIC, Radiator and Oil Cooler etc

Tein Type-RE Coilovers etc

Harrop 4-pot Calipers, 355mm 2-piece Rotors

BBS LM Forged Alloy 18x10.0 +20

and a bunch of other supporting parts... makes 360rwkw @ 20psi

Is pretty loud and lumpy and generally not as refined as recent Racepace GTRs but I love it... it has personality :)

I got the shits with it and sold it to the first guy who sounded serious and came and looked at it... he got a bargain but I'm happy as I didn't have to put it on carsales and deal with all the dreamers and test pilots

its mostly r32 drivers who say that, but onlt a Zed driver would consider it to be light lol.

Holy crap !! That looks really tough !!

Lot of people think R33's are a bit heavy. But I just love the look of a R33 GTR. If ya love it who cares !!

JP laughs when I tell him mine will be lighter than the slot car. Short wheel base, hard top FTW :)

finished stripping the R33 yesterday (need to nick a cam from work). When i pulled the carpet up, I found a HKS F-Con S. The rear wheel bearings we got were the wrong size so we can't move it to get the cage in yet. Nissan said there was a set in Melb, so we should be able to get it to the cage builder by the end of the week.

Well the Z32 came in 2 versions 2 seater and 2+2 which was 120mm longer wheel base. AFAIK there where no hard top 2+2. All where targas.

The weight distribution on the 2 seater is slightly worse than the 2+2 BUT it also weighs over 60KG less. And being a hard top it even lighter losing another 30 KG.

So basically as much weight as possible out of the front and between the axels. Then leave the back alone shoving as much as possible rearward.

4WD is cool when its a GTR. I just like Z32's and love RWD. Most of the useless weight in a Z32 is creature comfort stuff.

I dont have any of that. :banana:

I am hoping it will be ready to go by the time we get Superlap down here and will enter Marque sport in the meantime. :down:

I have a huge pile of nice bits to bolt on when the workshop is cleared out.

      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

      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

      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.
