The first session i just wanted to see where the tyres would go pressure wise... I went out with them high knowing there was no compressor nearby at the track itself (although i saw a few around the pits during the day), after a couple of laps i had to come in as i felt they were way too high, i was right...

Pressure climbed to over 40psi so i dropped them to 32psi and waited for the next session.

Session 2 was heaps better but hot pressures were still on the high side when i came in, you can see by the time sheet that the car was getting quicker and quicker but then i was held up by a spun car after the 1.032 and when i tried to do another lap after the tyres had gone off so it was end of session.

I just realised on this... You can see the car that spun, it was David Muscat with the 1.20 lap on the same lap he slowed me down :P

Was still pretty funny though :yes:

So things have been a bit quiet with the GTT as its been locked up safe at work since the SMSP track day and was still sitting up on the trailer...

Reason for this is due to our new property having drainage issues (just like the old fkn place), so we have been working hard to get it all sorted for the past 2 months... Along with the drainage lines, pit and pipes running to the stormwater we have also done a concrete large driveway connecting the front driveway to the back shed, we have also allowed for another 2 bays in the future if we ever need it...

First time on the driveway -

That would have cost a pretty penny lol. Is that Leonard's 180 in the shed?

Lol i see a FYP!!! Nice :P But it will get me a divorce pretty quick so i better behave haha

Yep Lennys Nug80!

Posting for Driveway Skids. :woot:

Awesome setup Mat. Do Want. :yes:

Lol Shhh you :P

Hopefully we will catch up with you next time we are at Wakie?

Every day of the week if i had my choice lol... No plan yet, but it will be on the cards again this year before i start making changes :ph34r:

How about ER34s at Bathurst for speed weekend at the end of November?

Thinking Wakie Nov 1 maybe... Depends if i can get the front tyres sorted before then and i also have to measure my brakes...

Going to Trackschool on the 28th. Just saying.. :)

can't afford, just saying LOL

but I'm going to the JDMYard track day next Tuesday... probably be one of the fastest car on the straight and the slowest car around the corners LOL...

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
