ive herd there a good street tyre wet and dry. i dont kno what to get just cos im on a tight budget, im after 235 45 r17's

they have 265 semi slicks on them atm, but i dont kno if they will fit under the guards, im not sure if i should get 2 more semi's and re use the 2 better semis

theres about 5mm tread left, and there a harder compound, do u think they will last?

there dunlop formula R's

personally i would rather a semi slick with less tread then a cheaper asian tyre. but thats me. how they would last depends on your driving but on that note like drift days they have dudes swapping tyres is anyone one coming out bringing that sort of set up?

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 ;)

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 :P

Thanks for the offer for your advice Martin. I'm certain anyone who's serious about their braking performance will be in contact with you. Appreciated. ;)

I've withdrawn from this track day, but I will get the Stagea out to the track this year. My thoughts were to retain the current calipers, but throw in a set of slotted rotors and a set of QFM pads for the front, leave the rears alone, and bleed thru fresh brake fluid. I'm more interested in improving the braking for day-to-day street use rather than fast lap times ... but will use a track day to measure how effective my brakes are. Whats your advice on what I've said above. PM me if you prefer.

;)

how is everyone else's preps going?

brake lines, oil change, alignment, and modding the fuel pickup* is all i have left to do. the rest is aesthetics. ha.

*tempted to just go surge tank and 044 to solve the issue permanently though.

Hey no problems

What we need to remember is that Mallala is one of the hardest tracks on brakes in Australia, so not only do you need decent quality hardware in the brake department, you also need to manage them very carefully while at the track to stop the going into destructive wear mode. It doesnt matter how 'overspec' your brakes are either, with AP Racing 380mm rotors, Endless W003 endurance pads, and SRF through the system we still need to water inject the brakes and give them several cool down laps to keep performance optimum. My advice then is one warm up, two flying laps, and two cool down laps to manage your road brakes on the day :)

yeah good call.....probably explains why Aris drives a GT3 around Mallala and not a Skyline ;)

He mentioned that he could've gone for the ceramic brake package update when he bought it..........but would've had to sell another child for the extra cost unfortunately

Our braking problem is specific, and focused, stopping a 1:12 second car that weighs 1700kg on 380mm rotors that have their airflow shrouded by 18 inch rims. It doesnt get much more challenging than that from a brake engineers viewpoint ;)

The faster you go the harder (almost exponentially) it becomes on brakes :)

Hey Martin did u get my Pm about ecu choice?

I'll bring some tools to help out those ppl that need it ;)

Yes I did Luke....thought I responded though!

The choice is all yours. I dont like toom any aftermarket ECUs compared to factory, so Im not the right person to ask :)

Timing Gear

Ok this is where i get the count for the timing gear;

Aberax

BIT SUS

Krishy

So we need 5 more for it to be viable.

If you want to hire the timing gear for $42 let me know.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
