hey mate

i watched the celia today... what understeer? looks like a whole lot of oversteer :P haha nah looks like it does really well around the track!

Yeh yeh i know what you mean, yeh turn one as you know can be a bit sideways, but we have just gone from 60 profile on a 14inch to a 50 profile on a 15 with a 4.3 Kaaz 2 way and our gear ratios were not quite right before on the 60 profile, so today we had to learn new gear change points!! Trusty 3sgte doesnt go too bad in a whale of a RA40, mind you it weight 1060ish with driver!!

I think half the problem today was people didn't really know who to look for?

Would it make things easier if next time I PM'd my number to everyone that was coming so everyone could know where we were?

Or maybe list distinguishing features of cars? or?

BOOSTD: Yeah, you really need to bring a jerry can or two full of fuel out with you. I'll be bringing two full ones with me from now on :) Probably a spare set of pads too :P

Oh and BIG thanks to Steve for organising all food and drink today, pity it didn't work out well...

yeah shame about that vac leak... I bet your knock sensors were working over time :P

watched you do a lot of laps... car doesnt look like its suffering from lack of spring rate or under dampering issues... it does look more to be a wheel alignment/tyre pressure issue, and maybe push the car a little harder into turn 1 :) FWIW theres minimal body roll on the car considering you were running semi's

lol yeh cheers for pointing that issue out, i didnt really look for any other issues as i noticed the vacuum line to the boost gauge gone straight away, and as much as i cable tied the bitch back together it kept blowing apart, hence in the end i just cable tied the end of the vacuum line to stop it from leaking. when it started choking again i just assumed it had failed like all my other attempts.

yeh wheel alignment is definately an issue, as much as i love the GB, the bushes with it just do not give you enough adjustment, after adjusting the castor rods to max, all i could get was like 6. the camber is another massive issue, will be going some proper arms, the bushes once again do not give enough adjustment and are frankly too friggin hard to play around with.

pressure was 30psi cold, wasnt sure what to run as they were technically a road tire. for the spring rates there is f**k all roll, but i wouldnt mind stepping up the spring rates and shock valving up just a tad, but for now its just not worth the $$ for me as im quite happy with it at the moment. for drift there is a bit too much kick back than id like, but once again for the spring rates its bloody impressive how little roll and kick back there is.

nah bs, and u know it. how much caster did david get again with his? :P

coincidence that both me and him got around 6 on both sides, on both of our cars?

not keen on rose joint rods, im gonna try and find an adjustable rod with a urethane bush.

oh and i was going as hard into turn one as possible, most times i ended near the outer apex with basically no grip left, that was all she had in her. line on the other hand i could probs work on.

not keen on rose joints?!

lol

my castor rods are tein items which are legal by regancy standards, and ive had them in my cefiro and my 32.. going 2 years strong, lots of thrashing, took them out the other day when i out the 33 arms in and they still felt brand new!!!

cant ask for much more then that.,...

yeh i dunno, reading some of gary's notes about them makes me less keen on them, and it all makes sense too. i mean if it comes down to it ill grab some but woudnt mind looking into the ones with bushes still.

I appologise to the guy with the BBQ. My tail lights failed on the track so I left before the bbq to beat traffic home. And i apologise to anyone driving behind me. :P

Was an absolute blast even thou i only got 10 laps in.

Anyone grad any pictures of my s13

well i did kinda spot the skylines all together in the sheds, but that wasn't where the map said everyone would be and didn't seem to be much people and no BBQ from what i could see plus seeing all the skylines showing up then leaving didn't help either oh well im sure people are keen about this club to start up maybe better luck next time aye

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
