i'm running out of things to remove, i'll have to spend some money on a cage soon.

i've been thinking about the brakes lately, and was wondering if it's worth ditching the booster for a consistand pedal? To see if I can get used to the feel of it, can i just disconect the vacume line from the booster? or dosn't that give a true feel. and are aux vacume tanks, worth it if i want to keep the booster?

I thought we were a team Benster? Why wouldn't you call me about this stuff?

What are your thoughts on brakes? Mine had R33 Sumitomos front and rear with slotted rotors and with the light weight, I never once felt it needed more. In fact I still have that entire setup somewhere.....

I grabbed up a good deal and pull the whole GTR Brembo/2-piece rotors etc all round soon after I got it, but I'm dubious on it's worth at this power level? Sure it never runs out of brakes, but is it needed? I'm not sure.....

Now, I will say that with the Brembos installed, matching master cylinder and with the additional GTR resevoir, I could not modulate the pedal to a satisfactory level. The feel was just too masked and lockups were common.

So I ditched the booster, made a billet block to move the master up, modified the pedal, added a brace, and now I like it. It's heavy sure, but at least it has feel. After a full day of Tugga though the lower back ache was creeping in, but you soon forget about that on the next stage :iluvff:

I can confirm just blocking the master cylinder won't give you an accurate vision of what it's like with the booster properly moved and the pedal ratio altered.

NOTE:

You may have noticed this thread has been moved.

SAU Admin have decided to run a new section for "Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups"

As such your thread is a prime example of what we wanted to house in this section.

We have left links in the sections you originally posted also to allow easy access to the threads new home.

Any issues, please feel free to pm myself or N1GTR.

Cheers Col

I thought we were a team Benster? Why wouldn't you call me about this stuff?

oh we are, just thought i'd put it here so other people can get some insite. Don't worry, you be getting calls soon enough once it starts going back together

is that legal as per the CAMS tarmac rally reg's? I thought it was 1mm overbore only (and even then, that might be for NA only)

the car falls under M3 regs (section 11 of CAMS manual)

Tell the evo boys that though, a few 2.4 strokers kicking about, shame none of them did much good... really just kidding themselves

ah no, rb24 isn't legal. the car is being built to aasa regs...which is pretty much the same as cams, but the car can be lighter, and have a big intercooler.

I'm planning mine to be CAMS for classic adelaide. can't even change the intercooler. or run a GTR body kit!

trying to work out what the deal is Targa, in modern they let them run coolers and GTR kits, and then some ran in classic last year with RB30 base engines!

you might need to read the rules closer :P and there wasn't any rb30's

Aerodynamic aids must be as originally fitted to the automobile series in production. Front and rear spoilers

may be made from alternative materials but must retain the original shape and dimensions

The series is R32, so you can run the GT-R kit.

Not going to get any work done to it this weekend, helped damo get his car ready today for a track day tomorrow. but i've decided i'm now going to get jason white to make my cage, instead to getting a bond kit. Just got dad's r33 back from him, and he makes a nice cage

your first sentence has your answer to all that

its classic Adelaide. full of cheater spec cars from every report i have ever heard. and most of them are over the top obvious.

i believe from my interpretation of the rules that GTR front bar and wing are allowed to be run even under CAMS as you are allowed to put the top level areo kit from that model of car on it.

so GTR wing N1 rear lip. GTR bonnet and N1 bonnet lip and GTR grill and GTR front Bar as its all "Areo" no body kit.

you might need to read the rules closer :) and there wasn't any rb30's

The series is R32, so you can run the GT-R kit.

aha - good point. I was taking the rules too literally when I was reading them I guess!

with regards to the Rb30 bit - typos for both of these entrants (here and here) or am I missing something?

also, can someone explain how it can be eligible for both classic and modern at the same time?

its classic Adelaide. full of cheater spec cars from every report i have ever heard. and most of them are over the top obvious.

with Tim Possingham doing so well the past few years, seems they are coming down a bit harder on turbo imports. doubt they would notice something like a R34 cooler in place of the R32 one though....

besides, it's only cheating when you get caught breaking the rules :)

that is corrected capasity. turbo = 1.4x capasity.

as the r32 went from 1989 to 1993, you can nominate to run in eather classic or modern, as the cut off from classic 1990.

you only get cought if somone protests you...unforinatuy classic porsche drivers are the only ones that don't care if they make themselvs look like bastdards by protesting. there were plenty of illigal cars on the podium this year at targa.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
