Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

[MBS206]

Hey Mark,,,how they hangin mate?.

I will find out tomorrow what Cheryl weighs. I've just finished filling her up with 40 litres of fuel for tomorrow so I'll get a wet reading.

Depower the steering,,, While that would save way more than 10 kilo's on a gtst,,,I'd have to go to the gym to steer the bloody thing. I did ages ago try steering her without the belt on and man it was hard going. I seem to remember Duncan struggled with steering his r32 without a belt on the track!!!.

Guessing the weight,,,shit it better not be anywhere near your prediction,,,1375 is standard so anything under 1300 would put a smile on my face tiger.

Cheers

Neil.

1,294KG. That's my uneducated estimate.

So Cheryl got her corner weighting and a wheel alignment today and heres the results.

The alignment turned out bloody great,,,seems I haven't hit anything hard since the last alignment and the cars NOT bent. That tells me 2 things,,,smashing ripple strips does nothing and tieing the car down by the wheel spokes does nothing as well. Happy days.

Corner weighting though has pointed out that I still need to remove lots more weight. I'm starting to think I'm not going to go crazy,,, It's time to working on the Radical for next year.

Heres the corner readouts as the morning went on. 3 hours in total.

The 1st pic is straight out of the trailer and the 2nd is at the end with my weight in the drivers seat.

Cheers

So no hole sawing lots of internal panels out or cutting the ends off any bolts deemed too long? You know you could always drill in the insides of any big bolt out too to save a touch of weight...

[Duncan]

yep Neil's a lightweight.....easily replaced by a battery and a spanner or 2

[Neil]

and so much better looking than me.

[Duncan]

I enjoy irony.....this is his expensive new cheater tyre on the way down to the dummy grid yesterday....

How cool would it have been if it had a carlton draught emblem on it,,,still very amusing.

No you boxhead,,,I race a GTS-T not a breakable GTR.

Lots of things came out of this weekend for me and all of them were positives.

Handles is the best pit bitch I've ever had,,,life is so much easier when I don't have to tell someone what to do. It's fantastic to have someone that just does the shit jobs and enjoys it. We walked the track on Saturday morning and it was so refreshing to bounce ideas off him and get his feedback. Having someone that continually checks my tyre pressures and makes the right decisions is a godsend. A MASSIVE thanks Tiger.

The slick are absolutely fantastic and I'm never ever going back to semi's. They are so bloody predictable even in the cold and slightly damp early morning conditions. I was very worried about them wearing out quickly but they look to have little wear on them.

Cheryl ran prefectly all day,,,I thrashed the living shit out of her as usual and she loved every moment of it.,,,she is such a great girl.

Cheers

Neil.

Matty,,,having a fellow race car driver thats knows his shit is so helpful. Having someone that can tell me what he would do as opposed to what I think is priceless.
