haha yeah I will, I did find, i think it was on perfectrun the cusco arms for 480ish..but only had a quick look at the details.

Do you think its worth getting lower arms aswell, I know justjap sell them too :P was thinking I could maybe push the track out a bit more on the front?

If I ever get paid for the last job I did ill take a trip out to kirrawee, and get some new shiny suspesion stuff

Edit: Just looked at justjaps upper arms, I thought they were more expensive than that.

Okay with suspension arms DONT go to overboard

Again stick with the most simple suspension you can get away with.

Untill your driving is above average your not going to notice any small changes and lower arms etc are not going to make you any faster

Get the ussual arm package and nothing more. Save your cash for entry fees and tires.

The more you change from the factory geometry the more chance you have of going backwards real fast.

Its taken ages to get my current GTR quick again after we stuffed around with the geometry a ridiculous ammount.

Have you sourced a cage etc yet??

as far as tracking an r33 gtst goes...

Take everything out of the car. strip it all and dont look back. Cage it, find a spare rubbish dash and cut it up to suit, either keep or sell your good one

suspension wise, sit the thing 80-100mm off the ground and fix the camber at the rear. i wouldn't really bother with any other "adjustable" bits for a while. Just get it aligned properly and practise driving

brakes brakes brakes!! I only ever had standard calipers with dot6 fluid, slotted rotors and braided lines and QFM race pads. I would suggest moving straight to something more serious as there is a lot around these days. This was fine for my sissy driving however, and i was able to outbreak the tyres easily

a good seat and helmet and you will have a fun car. you dont need much power to go very fast

Cheers for the help guys,

Brad, Ive sorted out the cage now just waiting for funds, going to buy my ecu today, then after that will be a seat, then try and hit the track on few club days at wakie after its tuned.

Going to try and do a couple of advanced driver training courses before to long aswell

Oh yeah, forgot to add. I tore the front bar off the car outside hills motorsports yesterday lol.

No major damage doen, just gotta rewire the indicators, the bar is now held on by good old race tape for that true race car look and feel :)

good to see a 33GTSt build, they are so underrated as a track car

cage not so important for now, I would get a seat and harness before a cage... get a good mechanical diff in it, a good brake setup (stock is fine as long as you have decent pads, rotors and fluid)... a reliable oil pressure and oil temp guage will help you save the motor, as will a good, safe tune... an oil cooler is always nice to have too

to be quick you need to be comfortable, have traction, suspension balance and plenty of midrange punch and brakes that you can be confident in... the rest is making it reliable enough to last plenty of laps... I've never been good at the latter

Cheers nick, already got most of the stuff you mentioned apart from the diff, I dont have the budget to allow for fancy stuff like mech diffs yet lol.

a cage is a requirement for MRA so it has to be done.

So far im very happy with my turbo choice, even with a standard ecu it feels very strong through the mid range, Havnt taken it over about 4500rpm and 2-3 psi yet though.

ah okay didn't know the cage was required... it seems I can't read properly;)

yeah took me a long time of single spinning out of slow corners before I had the budget available to do the diff... but once I did it I wished I had done it earlier... it was even a problem when I only had 185rwkw

are the KKK turbos ball bearing? supposed to be good gear but you would be the only person I know of running one on an RB25... interested to see the results... the intake plenum your running has shorter runners than the standard 25 plenum so will move torque up the rev range a bit but should be good for circuit stuff... should be pretty quick when its up and running

car looks good, I like the colour:)

hey,

The turbo is Journal bearing and only oil cooled.

Yeah its the 1st ive heard of one on a 25 aswell, so im also keen to see how it goes, so far it feels better than the old hiflow, but this motor has 9:1 comp comapard to the old one which had 8.5:1, I quite like short runners on any engine, makes them feel snappy and responsive, even if the torque curve doesnt show it. Just personal prefence I guess

The good this with these turbos is that Brand new exhaust housings are less than 400 bucks, so I'll get myself a .9ar housing one day to comapare back to back.

Not sure exactly what the colour is off, its either a 350z or a VZ commodore

what did you decide to do with the cage??

Bonds kit and modify it to suit your requirements??

Im doing heaps of them atm to get guys going.

Yeah Bond half cage with harness bar, then do the front legs to MRA spec closer to next season.

you got it.

he's more trance than hardstyle but you get the idea.

Yeah Ive seen him play a couple of times now :)

I ordered my Emanage Ultimate Yesterday, but unfortunatly couldnt get a plug in harness aswell, so im on the look out for a N-4 Plug in harness for it.

If anyone knows of one in Aus thats a semi reasonable price please let me know.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
