yeah, im like jack. run 31ish cold, but my crappy street tyres i ran one day i had to drop them to around 33 in front and 35 in back to help get round the track properly lol.

think mine atm are around 35 all corners so gonna play around with them sunday, might borrow my mates portable pump.

Ok, I've got my laptop all hooked up to the haltec so that'll tell me what my temps are while I'm in the car, just need to find a way to secure the laptop in the car so it doesn't fly around and KO me in the face.

6 Cell battery and Intel Atom should be good for 5 hours at least on battery :)

I've only got street tyres so they're only going to be good for two laps at a time anyway.

... oh harden up. Tassie so cold you won't need a oil cooler for 3-5 laps ha ha ha.

If your planning to data log with a laptop often, then look at getting a panasonic tough book.. can kill em!

i've never used r1r's but evo's like a good 35-40psi hot on my car if that helps :) . actually , does anyone wanna give me some advice on semi's tyre pressure, i've never used them before :S

Have you got a ir temp gun? If not I can bring mine if you need.. Just grab the optimum temp range v pressure chart for your tyres. I say run em hot and hard for a couple of laps, bring it in- drop the pressures hot and start from there. We can also measure the temps inner to outer to see if you have enough camber and even load accross the tyre.

Man I'm pissed my 32 needs a re-tune.. Maybe I'll get the stag out there! ha ha ha...

Forecast for Sunday :   

Cloudy with a morning shower or two. Light to moderate southwest winds.  

Hopefully it stays dry after the few showers, Max of 16 so may be a little dreary :P Called in to check on my front & rear adj sway bars today but still not in yet, I reckon they'll be in on wednesday after the long weekend. Just missed!

Just turn up , will cost you $120? or something if your not a hscc member (pricing is at the start of the thread somewhere) . Helmet, long sleeve shirt/jumper , sturdy trousers and shoes and a roadworthy car :) . I won't have the semi's thanks to me not having the chance to put them on rims , so i'll just be using evo's on the front and some dirtty 595ss on the rear :ph34r:

Your a bloody menace jack going out partying when your cars half finished I don't know. You should be sensible like the rest of us and have the night in ready for a big day of racing tomorrow! Having said that you better not bug me all night trying to get me to come out too or I'll turn my phone off!

I might pop down tomorro for a look. Won't be doing any laps as i'm broke. What time is every one getting there/hanging around to?

Oh and i assume its at baskerville?

Cloudy periods though fine. Light to moderate southwest winds.  

Precis: Fine.     Max: 16    

 

Looks like the gods of motoring may provide us with a dry track after all!

Hope you can make it toffy, I don't think I've seen you laurel before? If I can help at all (as unlikely as that is) let me know :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
