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 :)

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
