This is a long shot....

But a couple our clients asked us to ask on their behalf for reserve entries.

1 x R34 GTR

1 x R35 GTR

All I can do is but ask :down:

To the rest of you guys, spend all your effort and monies working on the very best braking package you can for the day. Brakes are 100% critical at Mallala and need serious application to get 'in the zone'. Having 'lots' of experience at Mallala with Nissan brakes we are more than happy to lend some advice to anyone with questions :huh:

Krishy, how long did it take to recieve these lines from uk? And are they defently stainless stell or tin wrapped?
UK!? The Braided Lines Krishy linked, come from Queensland, i ordered a Set on 17-03-2010...sent payment, haven't been posted yet :huh: . My guess is they are making them up, so should be posted sometime next week.

I got mine within 5 days or so from QLD........to me it looks and feels likie stainless steel....and it is most certainly ADR approved as well as it has a lifetime warranty as well....you get a warranty card that you can sell with the car to the new owner as well :down:

is there a gasket? mine doesnt have one, granted its a different engine.

there is a little metal gasket that foes between the IC pipe and the stock bov.......its meant to stop any leaks

D stirls

are u sure 300zx is the same as r32?

the pistons themselves are 50buks each on trade price.

and full seal kit front and back is just under 200.

all the other pistons are fine, just 4 have rust on the hard chrome.

im getting QFM A1RM's all round for the ca brakes, they will be fine with that, ill just have to take it easy for a bit then do a hot lap and then a couple laps at a slower pace etc etc. u reccon 1 set of those will last the day???

and any1 kno anywhere cheap to get wheel studs? cheapest i could get em on trade price was 10buks each :s

adrian the qfm a1rm's from what i have heard will last you a whole track day.....get some decent brake fluid in and do a full flush etc and should be pretty sweet......another thing you might wanna have a look at is getting some braided brake lines mate......

i am for this track day running qfm a1rm's with penrite sin 600 brake fluid and HEL braided brake lines.....lets see how they go on the track....

I'd run some ducting to the front brakes if i was you, heat is your enemy on small brakes. The quicker you can cool them before the next corner the better they will be. If you overheat them to much those pads wont last long at all.

this is my ducting.

I'm 110% sure.

The Pistons and Seals are the same for R32, Z32 and R33 (just the diameter of the rotor and the caliper offset is different with the R33), as well as others.

A1rm's and fluid - bought.

HEL lines - bought.

slotted rotors - bought.

plazmaman pro series IC and plenum kit - bought.

You can pretty much run your car however you like. No scrutinering at practice/private days. I'd recomend a fire extingusher though.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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.
