For sure!

Brakes bleed up today, transmission will be built tomorrow. So its all looking like it will be ready to go.

There is a few regulars going out so its shaping up to be a really good day out.

Yeah Im looking forward to it.

Haven't done a 'khana for a while (DECA/Texi) and Im back on my street tyres so I'll be out having fun - even if I have no chance and will be drifting a bit!! :whistling:

same its been ages since I was out on a decent skid pan.

Im going to use the old street tires as well and RWD to go with it. 400Kw all to the rears should be interesting to say the least.

Just need to find some rims to clear the new brakes

mine also makes over 400kw at all four wheels and on 4 year old street tyres that are hard as rocks was still blowing away he rotors i love smoking past them

I've heard quite a bit about your car, seems to be one of or maybe the only one that's very quick in NSW.. :)

So what times were you doing at OPGP?? That way all the guys doing the superbattle can have an idea of what they should be chasing (besides giant)... :rofl:

my work shop is next door to oran park so the car has been there lots of times it can do 1.12 around full track and 47 short track on the old track at wake field on street tyres and no sway bars 105 flat the times are on nat soft we are pulling the engine out this week to do some more work gaints car looks like an animal going around the track

Fark me!!! 1:05 at Wakie on street tyres!!!! Looks like there's going to be some stiff competition at superbattle... :)

Tell me your going to go new semis for this event??!?!

Jason Bobby was chatting to you this afternoon. Ive got to arrange to drop past and pick up some sway bars this week.

After tunning my car that night at Adam's I got bored and went back for more a week or so latter.

You may remember you walked in at the end of the tune, Grey GTR fully caged with massive cams and external gates.

hi buddy how did the car go in the end i got myself an r34 gtr v spec now as well

Nice, ill drop past and have a look possibly today.

I was doing a few things to Bobby's R34 Nur yesterday when the bars came up in conversation again.

Mine has now made 440, its enough to get into trouble with, Had it at wakefield a few weeks back but broke a box and the brakes failed so was happy with 9's.

Ive since fitted F50 brembos and repairing the box today.

With my extra 100Kw and all new suspension set-up (ohlins, swaybars etc etc) I was actually slower at wakefield. Once I get the suspension working properly again it should be much faster than before. Not to mention it should stop now too.

Are you happy with the suspension Chris or is there more to be had??

Ive been using a pyrometer lattely and was seriously unaware of how uneven my tire temps actually were, for test and tune days like the L2s ones they are an excellent tool to have.

Hey Brad,

Yeah I actually use low boost which is 9 - 10psi (round 200rwkw) at the track just to keep things a bit, well, looked after as my car and motor are basically stock!

Suspension is ok I guess? I did a day at OP North on sat, only understeered in the wet/damp parts, but sat pretty well when dried out. Didnt open wheel this time either but I just feel I need a bit more front camber. Duncan told me about that temp guage thingy for tyres! Yeah would be good to use one!

    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
