What an event - I had an awesome time - Should be on Speedweek soon and now I understand what Michele means when she says that somehow IQ drops to -10 once a camera and microphone is stuck in your face.

The picture in picture is incar footage from the EVO car number 455 which you catch a glimpse of at around turn three (orange wheels)

Words cannot describe the fun I had :P:wave::D

My best time on the day was 1.44, so starting to sort the car out.

The problem was with the 4wd, there wasn't any... fixed now, but still needs a lot of tweaking as to how/when the 4wd comes in. A company I wont mention on here, who NO LONGER has stickers on my car because they REFUSED to tell us how THEY had 'changed' the way 4wd was working on this car, unless I took it to their friend in Sydney and got their friend to phone them when it was on the dyno. Fortunately, his friend in Sydney is better than that and it didn't need to get on the dyno to fix the problem. I eventually found the main problem after wasting a lot of unnessessary time... it needed a fuse in the bastardised system they had put into it to run 4wd. So I intend to upgrade the system that is running the 4wd so its 1) not constant 2) varies to degree of cornering and pressures. At the moment, its like having a switch on your dash, either ON or OFF, not the best setup at all, but fixable.

You think you messed yourself now? Wait until you do it... and this is one event you could do, come around and see me for more details on how you enter and see the footage of when I pulled into the garage, then you will know how much fun it was lmao

Looks like great fun. 1st in class?? who didn't you overtake.

I didn't overtake the Mosler MT900RGT3... but then... he didn't overtake me either in the handicap, he was right behind me for over a lap, I thought for sure he would take me LOL I was pretty chuffed when he didn't get me.

That's not a car behind you, it a space fighter :P

I don't want to do the bonnet pins look for my car, but I'd love to get into a race like this. Upgrades are approved, so in a few months I'll be getting some track based suspension. Still will need the real engine upgrades to keep it 100% safe for the motor.

Guess I could already buy a car with suspension and engine work.

They didn't set it up for rwd, the fuse went in the system they put in to manage 4wd, just took me a while to find it.

Give Michele a call, I know she was trying to get you to let you know it was open. We are camping at Mcphilamy Park again.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
