you just gotta look out for the drifting geminis that will be going faster than you... :P

but seriously, there arent geminis on the track at the same time luckily.

If that were the case you would be my no.1 perfect customer!

If you choose a holden, try and get 'bluey' as its the newest and fastest or supercheap. If you go ford they are all pretty similar. i usually have 'ice freddy' dont ask where they get some of their names...

Hey Ryan do you have any say in the parts they fit in the cars? I hope you didn't recommend they fit those auto adjusting tie rods?

:laughing-smiley-014:

I did this about a year ago. Great fun but 5 laps isn't enough. And yeah listen to the instructors to get the most out of it. Unless if you get Ryan...

The day I went 2 cars had a sheared input shaft from people grabbing reverse instead of 4th. Does that still happen? Practice your shifting from 3rd to 4th coz that's all you use in these cars at Calder.

people think they can make up a ton of time by shifting as fast as they can. they are usually the people who know very little about going fast but try to. The fords have got a hardened input shaft now, which makes them last longer, but they still break eventually. same with the whole driveline, eventually they break, but its usually someone who flat shifts or tries hard to get it into the wrong gear that seals its fate.

None the less, its impressive how much these cars hold up to. in summer on high 30deg days they go all day (8hours) and rarely miss a beat. You could drive them on the limit all day if you look after it.

make sure u get the new 6L VZ they have, i think they call it nemo (it was a water damaged car) then put on the track, when they got it it had head and cam package pulled like 280kw@rears but the dogs pulled the cam out n put a stocker in so as u guys wouldnt kill urselves lol, but it still has a ported head and higher compression then the rest as well as some neat extractors, deff the 1 to go for!

not any more, nemo is now the slowest one out there... there are lots of new ones now that are a lot fresher... strangly nemo is the one that got caught in floods in perth i think.. The one you are talking about would be bluey or fuso. they were clubsports therfore they were quicker so they had to slow them a bit.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Sheraaz's R34GTT Build

      By Shizu · Posted

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
