Spend more time practicing your heel toe downshift technique instead :P

Lol.

It actually got to the point where my heel and toe downshift / braking technique has gotten to a level which I'd consider quite good (I've been practicing basically every day for months). Still needs a lot of fine-tuning to be perfected.

But my S15 is off the road atm so I've needed to modify my technique as I'm driving my mum's E90 Corolla and the pedal/driving position is different. Will take a while to readjust once I hop back in the S15.

Reason my car is off the road is because my Tomei N2 Oil Pan was defective (one of the welds was dodgy causing oil to leak), so recently sent it back to Tomei HQ in Japan for testing (and once they confirm the defect I get a replacement pan). Option could of been to get it welded here but I decided I'm going to make a farkin point about it.

what about the wheels it was running before roadworthy? cause you borrowed a set for roadie, was on TE's before that?

Still got my Te37's

Just trying a more aggressive rim size & offset atm

Tony, you bought 18" yeah? Tried to look at what size you bought as you only mentioned 9.5" width.

9.5inch + 22 Drift tek.

inb4fakes and it kills babies

Toby, Excel spreadsheet is done, what email should I send it to?

Email it to my work address brah

Forgies cost similar to new genuine pistons & rods.

yeah pistons and rods maybe, but not crank (which I thought he was also referring to)

GTiR crank: ~$600 used

Forged: $1900+

fark dat shit.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
