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.

should you have the ducting facing towards the front?

im gonna do some cooling ducts 4 sure i need all the help i can get haha

list left to do is

fit tyres

fit wheels

wheel alingment

bleed brakes

fit pads

wire in gauges

fit oil cooler

get tune

all fluid changes

couple more smaller bit

list is getting much smaller now

slowest process will be rolling the guards

i actually have offset haha

17x9 +18 on stock metal s13 guards, they sat pretty good on the GTR i bought them off haha :)

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.

new pirelli's - bought.

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

cool, i wonna leave it out for easy access to my rear coilovers for adjustment. yes i will have one.

how is everyone else's preps going?

the fit my pads when they come and do some brake ducting like chad!

then fit oil cooler when it arrives..

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
