its a custom built RB32 from signature performance in Ipswich, Mick built it and drives it and has had it for the 3 or 4 years i have known him. Noel knows more about power figues and the like but it is very impressive. He had a lot of trouble getting the power down

that we did for sure,

as Fine line said, we made allot of changes in the lead up to super lap but really ran out of time, even down to changing brake rotors at midnight, the night before we left.

thursday practise saw a few more dramas with us blowing a diff up (just got too hot and the lsd gave way) a phone call to Nismo saw the QLD rep ringing around for us thursday night/friday morning and by 10AM friday we had a brand new Nismo 2 way lsd sitting on the pit bay floor. My mechanic and i then frantically re-built the diff, missing the first session of the weekend.

the diff helped but turned out that wasn't our only issue, with the car unstable through corners we pulled the boost back and made it easier to drive- the car got better lap times with less power-

on the positive note though, eastern creek was a great track to drive and the event was awesome, lots of fun had by all,

we will be going back next year for sure.

our data logger was showing a gps speed of 258 kph down the straight, the fastest ive been in that car, with turn one approaching at those speeds it gave me a great deal of respect for the pro guys who hardly brake for that corner,

thanks mate,

yeah we'll be going strong next year, develop the car further, we have a drive train thats bullet proof now, so we just need to get it to turn corners,

Agreed!

It was awesome to see you down there Mick! With a full year to develop what is already a strong base you should have a really good event next year.

Personally I loved the thing, was one of the quickest looking cars out there each session. Looks like a heap of fun to drive too, like a big go kart!

Did you wear ear plugs when driving it?

same here... it was the most memorable car of the event... and it sure wasnt slow..

If i was driving something that loud it would want to be a lot damn quicker than that.

Had a bunch of honda fanboiz in front of us in the stands and even they cringed when it went past,

The silver s2000 was another story though, That thing was porn.

i really enjoyed the experience being at eastern creek for the first time and was unofficially the Fastest 4cyl NA RWD @ Superlap 2010 with the 1:46.239 so i was pretty happy

i just hope next year it can be somewhere else eg Phillip Island so that i can goto another track that i've never driven on

Ah mate I didn't realise you were a fellow QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!! (Suck shit Blues! :blink:)

I watched you going around all weekend thinking "thats a very well driven S2k". Good work mate :)

You dont happen to have another front bar/splitter lying about for sale do you?

I like that red S2000, sounded very nice at full noise

:blink:

maybe,

the front bar/splitter (along with the other aftermarket panels) is one that we made here in the shop, its a carbon fibre composote and worked really really well,

we made it as we couldn't find anything that would do the job we wanted in the way we wanted, since making it we have had allot of interest in them.

we will soon be producing them and offering them up for sale, stay tuned

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
