Dale how are we going for those timing gear mate????

I'm not sure on the numbers, i think Luke has missed a few people on the list. I would say that we will get the numbers needed.

The GSR/EVO club are having a committee meeting tonight (I think) and once it has been past the committee then we will have a definite answer. They have hired them out in the past so Matt and Tristan doesn't see there being a problem.

well well,

my GTR is nearly ready to rumble:

fit Hawk pads

bleed brakes

new semi's need to be fitted

repair intercooler pipe

fit straight pipe

However the S13 still has a long way to go:

finish the rewire

5 stud conversion

33 brakes

wheels

oil cooler + gauges

tune

Anyone who has nothing to do this Saturday is more than welcome to come swing a few spanners/screwdrivers!

And anyone left over can help me install my automatic sliding gate to the front of my house :)

Thanks!

MY bendix ultimates lasted 20mins at mallala at the front of my stagea, with slotted rotors

the rears with bendix heavy duty are only worn now, 6months later after the track day

got more bendix heavy duty for the rears, and a set of gtr r32 front calipers and slotted rotors, need a set of qfms for them

the car Im taking out, r32 sedan, has qfm a1rm's front and rear. 750degrees should be ok. the bnendix are rated ~400deg

Done some searching seemed to be the way to go anyone in s.a sell them? And roughly know a price?

have a look here

Nice these should go good with the new slotted rotors just placed the order.

They are an awesome pad, make sure you bed them in properly and they will bite nice and hard.

prob last 1 lap :( . mallala is known to b 1 of the hardest tracks on brakes in australia.... listen to wat every1 else is saying bout the qfm's

I can vouch for that. Love the high speed turn 4, then hairpin turn 5. Best opportunity for passing anyone there ... if you've got balls big enough! :)

Unfortunately, the last time I took turn 5, I crashed into another racer who was going way too slow for that turn, and squared the turn off leaving me no where to go. I carried too much speed and committed to the undertake ... unsuccessfully! :D

Yeh I seen others talking of them, would they eat the sh*t out of my slotted rotors? Or will they be ok in them? How much $$ a pad am I looking at?

i am running the qfm a1rm's for this track day....never used them before but they seem to be pretty good value for price....good cold bite and well lets see how it goes on the track....i had mine fronts and rears delivered for $238....and i got them in only a few days after paying......very happy with them so far

im gonna end up runnin outta cash to rebuild my 32 brakes (need pistons and seal kits $400 alone on trade price let alone new lines, rotors and pads aswell) the car currently has ca brakes on it, i lost my licence 5months ago so im not missing this track day, i dont care if i gotta take it easy.

If i take 2 sets of new brake pads out there u think that will be enough? i kno the ca stoppers wont be the best but its better than not driving at all, like i said id rather take it easy than not drive haha.

well the sil is gutted now so its not pulling up a street trim car, and because i havnt driven in 5 months it can go 1 of 2 ways, either ill be slow, or im gonna go all out haha :P

the car will still have good rims and tyres on it, i reccon i can still drive fast and be easy on the brake pedals, its either that or someone sponsor me a grand to do the brakes haha :D

mite just get some bendix heavy dutys, like 1 set for rears and 2 sets for fronts

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
