I would go for a digital dash like a Race Technology one and run it off the ECU sensors

Is this the dash you are talking about? I'm using a Vipec, can it plug in directly to that?

Std GTR lip

Blitz EBC SBC-3

The factory tank does a very good job, is mounted well for weight distribution, and has enough capacity for quite a few laps, even on E85....... Hi Octane 32 GTR still runs the factory tank.

Hi Ben,

Do you know what spring rates the R32 runs ?? There's been some discussion on here re spring rates, I'm pretty sure Mark used to run fairly stiff rear springs to stop the front wheels from lifting ?? Probably diff. setup now with Russ driving though.... :-)

cheers,

JB

Well, it had 450/350 (Yes, softer than I run in my Targa 32 GTS!) in it until last weekend when we doubled the rates and had Murray stiffen the shocks to match...... it was terrible around Lakeside, but it also lacked any form of undertray and was porpoising in the front. First time the car's ever understeered. (Same Whiteline bars on soft set, messed about during the day but made no real advances)

With the old springs in it, as you may know it would actually lift the inside front exiting corners, but was a dream handler..... very forgiving and lots of traction. Still seems to be the preffered setup, but time and some sorting may change that.

Would just like to confirm some details regarding tyres and rims.

The best size for track rims would be 17x9.5 +15 ish? correct

and for semi-slick best size selection im like 255/40/17? (do i have to run same size front and back?)

A 255/40/17 will foul the rear guards in an RE55 tyre on a +22 offset. Mine did anyway. So it will get ugly in a +15.

The front is a bit different. With the amount of neg camber you need to run you will probably get away with a wider offset than a +22.

Bridgestone recommend a 9" rim for a 255 bag tyre - you don't have to use drift tyre/rim sizing combinations....

Check also that a 17" rim will clear your brake rotor/calliper. 17" usually means 3345 rotor at maximum unless you are carefull with calliper & rim selection.

Wow, doubling is a big call! it also blows out the difference in front/rear by another 100lbs hence the understeer I'd reckon..

450/350 is softer than I recalled - thanks Benny.

Slightly off topic, but, Marlin... do you know if either of the HiOctaneRacing GTR's use Tomei intake and exhaust valves (+1.0mm) as well as most of Tomei catalogue?

Thanks

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
