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.

and can i also be added to the list, along with Josh and heslo's + 1 (he's gay), and heslo also said he may put in the money if need be to make up the last person and he will use it in conjunction with his own timing gear

cheers Bengi

sure it cant be that hard to get 5 more people out of the ones coming out on the day lol

yeah should be pretty easy, to get a few more.

Its just amazing how quickly this track day is adding up again, especially since my car is nowhere near ready, and still got more parts to aquire

i still have to

-fit coilovers

-fit front brake upgrade

-flush & bleed brakes

-get new tyres

-get exhaust made

-raise boost

-change oil, filter

-make new seat mounts

and there is probably more as well, problem is hoists have been full for the past three weeks, and everytime i made room, another job got booked in :)

lol. benji, need a working bee or something before the track day.

yeah, word on the street is that your coming down here to do it all for me...or else we aint coming to pick you up on track day morning lol

lol. drop it round my place next monday. got most of the week off, get the coils*, brakes, and oil/filter change tackled.

*just dont expect to adjust heights. im way too f**kin lazy.

stupid r31's. ill have a look. what have you got for the front end exactly? s13 lcas? standard knuckles? a31 rotors im guessing?

Edited by scandyflick
rear coils, just use the top hats from the rear struts in there at the moment :)

yeah thats prob what i was gonna end up doing. seemed like an easier option, and its not like it matters what top is on there as they aren't adjustable up top anyway.

Cheers Bengi

with the rest of the money for this track day that i owe can i pay that on the day? or pay beforehand?

cars slowly coming along

gauges to be paid for and sent

wiring to be finished hopefully this weekend

tyres to be fitted to rims

fit oil cooler

fit new brake pads and bleed system

fit 5 stud conversion

pump the shit outta the guards

get it tuned and wheel alinged

list is getting much easier as time goes by

still gonna be tight gettn it all ready in time but we will manage :cool:

writeoff and myself could run seperate timing gear units if the numbers are needed for the package deal.

there is no issue/worries in that.

with me, Im not sure what car to bring. Im real sore due to no-kneeness; cant do much. just a brake pad change ruins me.

the stagea is all good and can drive there and back & have a great day out. have spare pads for the day; easy no-nonsense dayout.

however Id like to run the r32 rb26 sedan that I bought specifically for track days. in lieu of riding motorbikes.

the sedan has new highflowed turbos, champion gold plugs, Penrite 5-50 synthetic oil, greddy oil filter, yellowjacket coilpacks, siemens denso 550cc injectors,

power-fc, 5zigen 3" catback exhaust, new radiator silicon hoses with 52mm dual-core race radiator, turbotech boost controller

ku36 235/17 tyres with qfm a1rm brake pads & slotted rotors/braided lines up front, good 5spd rb40 box & singlepuck clutch,

tein coilover suspension with full greddy strutbars front and rear, race wheel & seat, wideband meter, boost meter, stripped interior

a fuel surge tank and 305lph walbro external pump is being setup early april at boostwerx along with full pfc tune.

roll cage wont be finished/installed. permit needed to get to/from tuners & trackday.

not much more I need to do. rebleed the brakelines so that rules out 3 upcoming days, cleanup the interior a little,

get bits finished here and there. trying to get it ready minus the roll cage setup plus a few other goodies coming from japan, but too sore to go full-bore at the project.

...... we'll see.

cage I won for $155 plus container setrate of $400.

aaacage.jpg

wheels for $45, free shipping due to container space

anew2.jpg

free shipping so why not some $250 cams

acam1.jpg

hmm, bride drivers seat and passengers bride seat rail, $200

that'll go well with my bride drivers seat rail, the shit chair there atm can be for passengers

plus a few oddsnends for cheap, little bits here and there, . . . . :)

:cool:

eventually I want to get an rb26 powerglide auto adapter, power glide Auto-Transmission kit, custom fitting to the Stagea, 3k.

Im going to rebuild the rb26, drop it into the stagea with a 3spd auto trans full manual valvebody . . . and sell the sedan and the current stag engine package

12k in costs all up for complete rb26 rebuild, installed & custom stag auto transmission, but should be able to net back 8k from sales =)

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
