not sure on PI in november but I'll be doing something somewhere with it! probably will do as many days at oran park and mainly just looking forward to it being a bit more of a friendly street car. at the moment is super low, has race bucket, is loud, has 2way that chirps everywhere, clutch rattles like fark and is either on or off so take offs often involve a 'little' wheel spin. no AC etc. once those things are fixed it will me more enjoyable to drive for sure. ;)

I'll be headed down to brisbane from townsville at the end of the year.

Morgan Park, QR, lakeside.... I can't wait

Forgot to add: my 180

RB25DET neo

324mm gtr discs with R33 gtst calipers, slotted rears with Hawke HT-10s in the mail

GT3076 split rear housing as a paper weight waiting on my exhaust manifold

Hopefully a greddy intake and 800cc injectors and some new shocks by the time I'm in brisbane.

Nice mate. Who is making the manifold for you twin scroll 76?

makes me miss my car... :blush:

Is that similar to the ride height you were running with the DMS? You are a good 15-20mm lower then me

I'm running F 345 R 335 on the street(soon to be track hopefully!) and it feels a lot better than it did with the front at 320, rear at 280... I have been recommended to go another 5mm higher still! (and then another 5mm at the rear when needed)

What is the opinion on jap bolt in cages for a weekend car that should start seeing a few track days a year?

Better than nothing in my opinion, and you should be able to find a free one so the value is second to none :banana:

car came with a cusco safety21 7point+harness bar. seems to make the car less flexy, so in the respect it feels great, was just wondering if anyone had any experience of how they held up

some are better than others but the cusco/safety 21 made ones are not too bad. the only bad bit is the ones they make that curve around the dash. ideally you want to get one of the ones that goes straight through the dash. 2 good reasons. 1 it's safer. and 2 it makes the cage less 'intrusive' especially around your right foot area and getting in and out etc.

Why dont you race at the Bitumen Sprints and Hill Climb here in Townsville?

sadly, mine goes around the dash... was considering taking it out, selling it, then getting a CAMS and ADR approved 5point from Brown Davis, as i dont want to go through the dash on what is a street car at the moment.

I had a chat with Kyle about doing a twin scroll manifold for me a few weeks back. Is it a single wastegate design?

Yeah single wastegate

I've had stuff all time, need to get the car in one piece to brisbane

Get a popper welded in roll cage.

Safer, better ridgidity and increase the value of you car

Ash

How can you say a weld in cage increased the value of the car? My experience has been that weld in cages mean that the car is effectively a full time race car, which limits the buying public interested in the car to effectively race only.

Secondly, i have found those wanting a dedicated track car with a full weld in cage typically like what they like and when they see a car with a certain cage, they often dont like the cage and would like the cage design to be different. Again, limiting the range of appeal the car has.

So, not saying you are wrong, just shringmy experiences

Can't say i've seen 3k worth of cage increase the value of the car by 3k either. The increase would be marginal.

Not saying weld in's don't have their place as there are category's where i wouldn't drive without a comprehensive cage, but for the 90 odd percent of people here who track their daily it's a big commitment, and one that can make their car unregisterable at that.

Big little engine project is very close to completion now. Had a high-octane sump extension welded onto a factory sump last week so ive installed that today and finished cleaning up and installing a little more plumbing. The timing belt issue has been a bit more of a challange that I had thought it would be. The first belt ive sourced is 1 tooth too long, so im having to order a belt from the UK that normally goes on a vahuxall astra to get the right tooth count.

GTRS's should arrive next week so when the belt arrives it will be ready to install. Cant wait!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
