Where did you get the brake adapters made?

Also on your splitter, do you have any pics please showing how you attached the ply to the garden edging? I'm guessing 90 degree alloy edging cut into small pieces

Pauly D is making them for me, can't wait to see the difference in braking!

They're little right angle brackets with a hole on each side. i got them from bunnings

and that bonnet and catches, so HAWWWWT

Thanks man. :thumbsup:

never really cared how it looked (in fact always prefered go>show) but now i want carbon all over it ! sooo light and good looking :)

car looking good mate, any more details on the brake dog bones?

is he able to make any for R33 GTST > 330mm rotors?

I'll have to ask, he was doing them as a favour for me. but im going a bit of a different way now - see below

this things a rig!!! love it!!

thanks man, means a lot coming from someone with a car like yours :)

i have just ordered a new Sparco Pro 2000 as i need to log book my car. i want to enter the CAMS NSW supersprints and apparently i fall into 4D category. i need add a couple of extra roll bars in too.

I also just ordered some new front brakes. Wilwood 4 pot superlites? they are a 330mm 2 piece rotor so should stop alright now. budget end of braking i know but should work really well i think.

  • 3 weeks later...

Brakes came last week. Got them trial fitted while waiting for some safty wire to show up.

Thanks mang :)

Finally bit the bullet and bought an R33 gearbox, was $800 and local so couldn't say no.

I have two events this month, 1st is the SAU texi at Sutton and the 2nd is a TCC Interclub SS at wakie on the 27th. It will be the last drive until Nationals as my first born is due June 1st, im guessing I’ll be too tired for anything else :)

Got a bit to do over the next week so stay tuned for updates.

New seat will be put in this weekend and im going to make up some boot/wing supports to stop it flexing as well.

Saftywire finally came, bolts got all wired up.

not too bad for my first go at it.

all fitted up, will be bled tomorrow and bedded in.

(bought a pair of S13 BC coilovers for the front to replace the S14 ones it had)

yep, im a lucky sob.

took the dip at the SAU Texi day too quick and this is the result

LH LCA, castor rod and camber tops all came loose and moved. the only damage to the suspension was two of the camber plate bolt on the rh got bent when it moved in.

very lucky with this, actually bent it back

Starting making another quick splitter as i need it for this weekend

this one is being mounted to the chassis this time, made out of bits i had lying around. unfortunately since the lip got destroyed the air dam will be massive haha. About 6in tall, will look pox

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
