is it heavier in the back than the front? is that why you reversed it on the trailer?

It is actually the only way the car will fit!! It is too wide at the front to get onto the trailer. With all of the tools/gear loaded onto the trailer and with the rear mounted gearbox, the trailer is very well balanced in this configuration.

Its very hard to have expectations, but we would like to be sub 1:33's but we have zero experience at EC with this car. I guess that is half the fun! :)

1:33 is seriously quick & in fact quicker than aust superbike class :)

do u plan to take it to wakefield as well?

Being Brisbane based, it is hard to travel interstate to track days, especially as Mark (the owner of the car), is VERY busy professionally and has 3 kids to boot. I think we were lucky to get him out of Brisbane for WTAC!

yeah it's impossible to predict times for a first event of a car. I'm sure they'll just be happy if it runs cleanly and comes back with some good data on where to go from here. it could do a flat 30 or it could be a flat 40.... only one way to find that out. :)

I would pay good money for it to do a flat 30! Might be necking myself if it does a flat 40!!! :P

i have been told when loading a car onto a trailer not to put it backwards.

due to 80% of the weight being behind the axle.

other than that epic, and i cant wait to make the trip over there tomorrow!!

R35 is a bit different to most cars. particularly a track R35. don't forget they have a transaxle so lots of weight in the rear and consequently less weight up front. and don't forget they balanced it further with tools etc. but the point is if the car only fits backwards, you put it on backwards.. I don't think driving it to sydney was an option...

agreed. I reckon if they break a 35 for their first big event that will be a massive achievement. anything past that is gravy. hell under a 40 is a big effort.

Given both cars (R35's) are basically just built and untested if they can beat the High Octane R32 they will be doing very very well IMO.

Both these cars are amazing bits of gear - but I think they will still need a few more miles under their belts - and a bit more tweaking - before their true potential can be realized. I don't think bolting them together and just doing 1-2 days testing will quite get them there yet.

But anything under a 1.40 will be a really great effort.

No doubt this year will be a massive learning year for them both - and look out seriously for them in 2012.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
