Looking forward to your results bro, also looking forward to hearing how you go with the new pads...Really looking forward to seeing that 1:06!!!

Remember to not to go hard for a whole session. Do 2-3 quick laps at most and then cool it down. Your braking might last a bit longer! I think some more braking thermal capacity is needed!!!

No Need, the pads were simply brilliant! They are the best pad i have ever used by far :yes:

BEAUTIFUL

Inspiringly gorgeous, the engine bay, the fuel system, everything! love it!!!!!!!!

You've go me wanting to go down the black everything path when i dive into the wonderful world of turbochargers

Keep up the great work, what a read!

Thanks mate! It has been years of hard work that's for sure! Some interesting updates coming too ;)

Not yet mate, only drove it from my work to the next street this morning to use a workshops hoist for an hour... It was pretty damn dirty though, will have to put a light in the old one and see how much is shining through!

Why did you need the car on a hoist to change the air filter? I think you're doing it wrong :P

Oh i think i was doing it right :whistling: haha

New updates coming soon :yes:

Hahaha nice find Kurtis!

Are there any videos of what happened? I've been kept in the dark

Luckily nobody was watching as it was during the passenger runs lol

Just too much speed, too much weight and not enough skill :P

The new setup will mask my bad driving :whistling:

So with the Nulon Nationals we head off early morning from home via Yagoona to grab a helmet... Unfortunately the one i wanted was not in stock so i got a cheapie which worked fine :)

From the helmet place we head straight to Wakefield Park to bed the brakes in.

When we arrived at the track we met up with Brian, he was dialing in the new suspension setup in the R35...

I went out and did a quick 2 lap run to get the brakes hot and then came in to let them cool, i was shocked at how well they worked!

I noticed i still had an oil pressure issue under brakes but decided to run it the following day at the Nationals anyway as i wanted to make sure SAU got all the points possible :D

We unloaded the car and set up in the SAU pits that Neil had sorted for us... We had our drivers brief and got our groups and were good to go...

I was placed in Orange group as the last outing was a 1.074 and i said it was likely to go quicker at this event as i actually had brakes for this round!

Pic stolen from Timmy :P

I set off on the first session and the car felt like shit! It was smoking the tyres and just wanted to spin around on every corner... I tried to get some heat in the tyres but they were still far too low on pressure... The track was like ice so that did not help! We put some more air in the tyres which actually worked against us as in session 2 the tyres went up to 37psi which is way too high! Even with the pressure high i checked the times and it had still ran a 1.07 which was a good start!

On the 3rd session i decided to push the car a little harder but was still trying not to hurt it as i wanted to make the passenger sessions at lunch, Carmens parents travelled all the way up from VIC to watch so my main goal was to take them for a few laps!

When coming back into the pits i checked the lap timer and i could see it had registered a 1.068 lap followed by a 1.069 and the car was feeling pretty good...

These shots were by Flat Shifting, they take some great shots and will likely be at our events in the future...

As some of you know i did have a decent "off" during the passenger laps... It is the first time i have ever been off a racetrack properly so i made sure i did a good job of it... It did rash the rims, belt the guard and also cut up my tyre... Pretty sure my alignment is out too as the car did not feel the same for the rest of the day... BUT in true SAU style i managed to take a trophy for the stuff up lol

I ran 3 lots of passenger laps in 20 mins... I just overcooked the last one :laugh:

One of my favourite things about the day was being in the same group as James, chasing the Grumblebee around Wakefield was a hell of a lot of fun!

Whats next for the 34........?

Quite a lot actually... The minute i left the track i started planning ways to go faster... I will update the thread later with the new updates... This change will be a big one :ph34r:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
