Recommended Posts

nice lap Richo, that tyre howling was a bit off putting wasnt it. you could hear it from the pits. only slicks didnt howl obviously.

well i reakon new tyres + new surface means some further supension tuning for me :wacko: appreciate any feedback I suspect front springs rate need to go up as I already have whiteline roll bars front and rear, neg 2.5 Fr and neg 1.5 R ??

I'd be increasing the camber on the front to -3. I know it's driven on the road though, so there is a compromise I suppose.

What rates do you have at the moment? My opinion is that 10/8 is what you want for a GTR, mines use ohlins 12/12 (basically).

Racepace like more squat in their cars and it's generally softer in the rear.

You can also play with the rake, this does wonders and I've change the height front and rear a few times now. 2-3mm makes a massive difference.

ta Richo, can run a bit more camber I think.

not sure about the rates. they are Ohlins and the springs have these numbers:

Front: 63400J1 38,04

Rear: 63400J2 38,04

I am guessing they are 4kg/mm could this be right? got no google joy on these.

also what do you mean by rake? is this castor? how much do you run?

Ohlins says 6/5.

Rake is the height difference between the front and rear axel while static. Ie 5mm nose down.

This has a large impact on the dynamics and how the car handles under braking, power and cornering.

Footage from my car over the weekend, only got two laps in due to falling foul of the noise limits by a long way, and the front splitter pulling out it's mounts.

First time at PI in the R35... Agree with everyone about the epic tyre squeal. Need a lot more camber next time and can't wait for next one i can make...

Got to pull my finger out, if I'm going to get down to those times and join the fun.

BTW what is the background to when you played follow my leader and came off at 4 too early?

I needed to push harder to go past the tyre squeel!! Extremely frustrating ignoring that usual feedback of the tyres saying: "the car is at it's limit, don't go any faster!"

Dave in the other silver R33 had trouble stopping the car in the last 50m at turn 4 all day. When I was behind him I'd have to brake much earlier than I normally would and dive off to the right just in-case he went straight on, or brake much harder that I would have thus me ending into the back of him.

Basically I was giving him shit all day about being slow there.

He said he would eventually go straight on...and he did, ha.

I didn't realise he wasn't going to make it. I was easily going to make the turn in.

Haha.....i struggled into that turn all day.

Having not driven the car for a few months and not having ABS means im a bit easy on the brakes when i first stand on them......this costs me a lot when it comes to the last 10-15m on the anchors.

I got a little better in the later sessions but still struggled.

Getting my car to turn in there was an issue also.....the understeer on the new surface was EPIC!! But the rear grip available was EPIC in the other direction. I proded it in 2nd a few times at Honda to try and get it sliding......and it did but still took a lot of effort!!

Anyway good times!! Car will be on its way to QLD soon :-)

Cheers,

David Maden

Hey guys,

It's Paul's carbon fiber R32 animal. Big Red has a 39 at the Island as well.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
