Lololol nope i just read it incorrectly man! Ignore my last comment haha

If you work on the suspension and tyres etc you should get some power to the ground, mine is gripping up hard in 3rd now which is good :yes:

Yep they sound real good! Love the whistle!

Awesome choice in ECU :D

That will suck if you have to get rid of it mate! Mine will stay in my possession forever if i get the choice... Too much money invested too let her go!

Yeah, suspension wise I've just got the pineapples and adjustable control arms (with the camber almost at zero), and with 275 Adrenalin's (at $700 each!!!) the grip isn't great... Shitloads of fun though. :P

Did your diff make a noticeable difference to traction?

I have always said that there's no point in selling it, and that I would like to track it one day, but if I move I'll be renting out my house here and renting an inner city apartment interstate, and they generally only come with one carpark - the fiance flatly refuses to drive my car since the mods (she drives a mirage :yucky: ) so unfortunately she has to come first. However, as I'm certainly not going to be driving a mirage around I think I've just about convinced her to let us get a 2005(ish) WRX as a compromise we can both live with... lol.

Pfft, what rubbish, I can drive a car slower than a mirage if I wanted too... I just don't want to :laugh:

Mat/Lithium, someone please explain the picture on the previous page? What is this? What does this do? Do I want this? Cos I'm about ready to whip out the soldering iron and put some bubbles on my turbine if it's gonna make me go faster.

Joking... But seriously. I wouldn't even know what to google with that :glare:

Mat didn't know anything about it, I was just being a twat looking for dodgy mods. It was from a thread I happened across a few years ago where someone announced that they had done some neat tricks to improve the performance of their turbo and posted the pic of "bits" soldered/welded to the compressor wheels. It's up there with some of the interesting implementations of Somender Singh's combustion chamber grooves I've seen out there, angle grinder + head = win? :D

Did your diff make a noticeable difference to traction?

I have the same diff, and I would say it definitely does... depending on how you drive :P

I never understood how a proper LSD worked until I got one. But I would definitely say, when driven with grip in mind, it pushes you through corners so nicely. If you turn the car quickly with a heavy foot, you will most definitely lose that traction though :P

Yeah i agree, the Diff makes a big difference and is SO nice to drive on daily!

I am sure I can think of ways to improve on that ;)

Ok OK! Ill weld those extra blades on :ph34r:

Lol that's a go kart track. You need the track to be 2nd and 3rd to really let those ponies gallop.

Yep, was too tight for my setup! BUT the biggest thing was running plumb back gate and low boost, it made it quite doughey!

It was all the "drifting" slowing you down :)

Lol, no drifting! Just HOONING! :woot:

Edit - And Tracey Grimshaw, that is a farking track so STFU!!

Reckon you'd be faster with a stock turbo in there. :P

Go and set a time at Wakefield already farkin!

Hey! The time was quicker than every other RWD on the day ya mongrel haha, even the 35GTR!

And yes if i can complete a lap without rolling it i will set a time in May/June!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
