SIT REP.

Well, like it or not we all know, and have to abide by the basic laws of physics. What goes up, must come down. Gravity is a constant. And every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Likewise we all have to abide by the basic rules of tuning when it comes to our cars. At the forefront of these is Newton's third law, 'red goes faster.'

So if we apply 'red goes faster' with 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction,' then we can hypothesis that 'red stops faster.' And thus we widen to reveal two R33 gts-t front callipers with all new seals and a fresh coat of stop fast red.

As far as other interesting things we've been working on, well there just isn't all that much that's actually interesting. We pulled the rear callipers off to re condition those as well, and thought whilst we were at it we'd get some braided rear line too. However in trying to undo the brake line all I managed to do was round the nut off. It was a proper round too, destroyed, and I was even using the correct sized flare nut spanner too. Oh well, win some lose some. So we took all the solid line off right back to tee piece and flexi line that goes from the diff to the floor pan, got some braided line being made up for that section too whilst we're at it.

So still waiting on a few more front end bits, mainly front rotors and front braided line and we'll have a moving vehicle again. Super keen to take it down to Winton with all the suspension and brakes done, but with the NA RB30 auto. I envisage giggles to be had by all.

G'Day lads and lassies,

Just a quick one today to announce that my time in the Capital has come to an end. I've finally manage to crawl out the shift work mine shaft and have landed a nice new day job back home in Albury.

I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me out over the years here in Canberra and it was a pleasure to meet all of you.

I'll still be trawling around the forums and I'm sure I'll be back for an event or two as well. I'll keep updating the progress on the 31 and hopefully now that I'll be living in the same state as the car some real work will start to get done.

Until next time,

I'm out,

RobMz

    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
    • Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.
