Oh yes I do rate a bit of gutter talk.

He doesn't moan Damo, but he did say you do when he throws a digit in ya foofa valve.

i moan at less than that Benny.

anyway this has taken a backwards step. Bens away thats why he isnt in on the action in here.

NO rain free weekends in the near future forecast so the progress is gonna be slowed right down.

I ran last weekend at the Symmons Plains 60th annaverary meet. Unfortunately after a good run the engine decided to throw a rod.  I've got the engine out but havn't pulled the sump off yet, I suspect

So it’s been over a year since an update. The first event last year was the Poatina Mountain Race, it was pretty much a 7km hill climb with the option for a navigator. I put my girlfriend in the sil

damo's is more of an exited squeal, but a singe digit just dosn't cut it anymore.

I'll be back from Hoebart tonight, and i might move my car into the garrage, as dad's gtr needs to have painting and welding done, which is best outside.

plann will be to swap the diff out, and put the gearbox into mine next. And probably start on the wiring

Been following this very closely..

Im looking at doing something similar very soon too.

How did you electronically remove the HICAS system whithout making the steering go heavy at low speeds?

you will hardly notice the steering. but the idea is and its explained in the hicas removal page is that you remove the hicas lines ect then you will have the hicas warning light on on your dash. this is turned on by the hicas computer which is mounted upside down under the parcel shelf. most people disconnect the computer which interferes with the speed sensitive steering. to keep the speed sensitive steering there is one wire that turns the light on. you simply cut that wire and leave the rest plugged in and walla no light and the speed sensitive steering still works.

have a quick look through the tutorials as i think i put the wire colour to cut in the R32 hicas removal thread.

Ben will be running a R33 pump which if mated to the rb20 harmonic balancer will be heavy anyway.

Are R33 boxes allowed in Tugga Benny? i got ben a super cheap 20 box but id never run one if i had the chance after having a 25 box. i flat shift mine and all sorts, mainly because im unco and cant drive but its pretty cool when mid drift i can slam it from 4th to 3rd with no clutch.

the 25 box is also massively bigger in size and weight and im not sure a Rb2o would have enough torque to get going. LOL

Yeh im quite certain since the regs state the housing must be original, hence you can't use a 33 box.

yeah, right..

I already locked it out hydrolically, now its just time to remove the ECU and remove the harness from it.

There are two connector plugs n the back of the hicas ecu. I have already disconnected one from the ecu, the light is off and the speed seneitive steering is still working as the steering is still light at low speeds.

The F40's are bigger than i thought, notisbly bigger than std R33 fronts.

This is funny, you are running the same calipers as me, though i am runnng 343mm rotors rather then 324. I have a Trust Ti exhaust as well and the truly scry thing is i hve been looking for 17x9 QFs :)

there is a pair of 17x9 QF's on Yahoo now http://auctions.nengun.com/item/g79810064 , they look really good with the dish (that comes from the extra width), the qf's are pretty hard to find. I have to run 17x8 for Targa :down: I'm running 332mm rotors.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
