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

Did some tuning over the weekend. sorted a boost leak that made a bad noise at 17+ psi. After going over the logs from friday night, the car makes 16psi at 4000rpm. I've upped the boost to 19psi, but havn't done and tuning or logging on it yet.

Damo wasn't able to drive the car for more tuning today, so i knocked up a heatshield to keep the inlet cool

Should have the tuning finished this week, and then it's off to it's first supersprint on sunday

Well the car got it's first run on the track this weekend. I was pretty happy with how it went, only problem was a pertty bad shudder though the steering wheel after the brakes heated up, i'm hoping it's just the pads going through there first heat cycle. They are Endless ccx that came with the calipers, and from a quick glance at the net, other people have had the same problem with the stoptech/ccx combo. I recon I'll put some hawks into them.

The car is very easy to drive, and we only just touched the surface of the shock tuning, the rebound is still at full soft. The car was still getting .5 sec a lap faster with each change. Ended up the day with a 62.8. Always fun when people come and basicly call you a lier when you tell them it's a standard wrecker rb20, with a rb20 highflow.

I will put some video on the tubes tonight, and upload some of Damo's artsy pics

Don't you just love it. Its a good feeling when you exceed peoples expectations with a humble, maligned RB20 :)

Re the brakes , CCX are good things but perhaps they are too hard on rotors. I have used only one set and loved them but they did seem to have an appetite for rotors with regards to shudder and cracking. I will be trialling the PFC 06 pads with the Stoptechs and 343mm rotors. I am really happy with how they have all come up. I will try and get a set of DS3000s to trial back to back with the PFC06 before they get too worn

Nice vid. How fast was your GTR around SP?

Best I got was a 60.9. But as you can see it's all about HP, and the GT-R was up 10-15km/h at the end of the straights, and cause of the brake problem was a braking 35-50m earlier than a was in the GT-R.

In the Targa N1 the last time I drive it, it was in 2009 trim, and I got a 60.3. But 2010 trim was about 50rwkw more.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
