My R34 Gt-T Street/track Build/diary

[blah_blah]

Tony those mods look great! I wouldn't mind upgrading my two-part front camber arms to single-part items at some stage. 
Yep I just saw the 80% rule too, sucks bad. Looks like there's a Maserati Club Come and Try on Dec 10, not a great date and not sure if you can run full pace there either: http://www.maserati.org.au/event-2372776

Wait that event says its free?

Like literally free lol? hows that even possible

[admS15]

How'd you go, is the car ready to rock n roll? I just signed up for the tampered day on the 11th.  Hope to see you there. 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

What happened? i saw that your turbo blew. Is it a hypergear turbo fault or?

Do the pads fit a r34 GTT? Got a link and price?

I think more so over spun the turbo and too many track days, kept running it at 1.7bar

I told Tao how much boost it was running and he's still pretty happy to fix it on warranty - now that's service!

Sure do, they're advertised much higher on trak-life.com/shop but during December we're offering free delivery for front and rear set of SR Pads for $199 or Type-D Pads for $269

Jsut PM me or e-mail me at johnny (AT) trak-life.com with your name, delivery address, phone number and I'll shot you back an invoice if you're interested

Thanks mate!

 

Yes and no with your turbo. Good service in fixing it but should it have done it in the first place? Oh well shit happens

Updates with the car.

 

Wheel alignement done

 

 

Stock lsd taken out:

 

 

 

 

New Nismo going in: 

 

 

 

 

all done will pick up the car this weekend and see how she feels with the new LSD in

 

 

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

wow your car looks great!

better use that clear film shit on your front end so you dont' get rock chips on the track

LSD will be day and night difference, you'll actually have traction!

[blah_blah]

Ok so picked up the car. Car feels like normal cept a bit of chirping going around tight corners.

Did a few test runs, full noise 1st and 2nd, All traction and no sideways action, just chirps and goes straight. Oh yeah! 

 

And this is with rock hard suspension and -2.7 camber on the rears. 265 ad08 tyres a few years old.

Can't imagine what id be like with less camber and some new 295 tyres on

[Leroy Peterson]

Good to hear! Its amazing what a difference a good setup makes

[blah_blah]

First shakedown at Sandown on the weekend.

 

First session had issues with misfiring. Changed some spark plugs seems to help. Also only did 2 laps. Thought i got black flagged but it was the car passing me

2nd session - Cooler pipe blew off.

3rd session - Cooler pipe blew off

4th and 5th trouble free and just learning the car again. Did the same time as when my car was stock on shitty tyres LOL

 

Surprising at Sandown i have issues putting down power in 2nd. But is fine on the street. I also seem to have tune stuttering issues which goes away eventually when the car is warm

 

So have ordered same Hardrace rear camber arms to dial out the -2.7 camber to something like say -1.0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will also look into fixing my cooler piping issues. Possibly have a visit to Havoc fabrication

Nice to meet you Tony and see your car in person on the weekend. Your car is damn fine. Reducing the camber will def help with traction, so would setting the pressures correctly. I think the surface was a bit slick on the weekend as I also had more trouble trying to put the power down with semis than what I did last time on street rubber.

Great to meet you as well!

 

thanks for letting me use the corner of your garage lol!

 

As you don't have facebook heres a pic of your car:

 

Must be fast to be infront of a Ferrari 458 GT3 car LOL

Do you have a theory why cooler piping keeps coming off? Wiping grease remover over silicone joins and piping usually sorts my issues popping off because of super fine oil coverage.

[admS15]

No probs, anytime. Yeah man that Ferrari was slowing me down big time, I had to pass him on the dirty line[emoji43] lol.

Na, that thing was insanity.

They are just crap intercooler pipes with a millions pieces + it runs back as a return flow style. Came with the car when i bought it 10 years ago.

I just but an extra 2 hose clamps on it and it didnt come off. We did put beads at the end a while back.

Didnt come off on the street in 2 years at this power level.

 

But on the track, came off at the exact same place, boosting in 4th and 5th which i spose you dont do on the street lol

 

[Leroy Peterson]

Damn. I thought scotty fixed all that up? (Or am i thinking of someone else?)

Scotty just made a intercooler U bend on the intercooler exit.

My piping is still a shambles though.

 

Considering this:

But unsure if it will fit given i have a bigger radiator and oil cooler on drivers side.

 

Or can just go full custom for $700

give Abe from Havoc Fabrications a visit, he has made plenty of "no hole" FMIC kits for S14/15 with a Proflow cooler for under $1k

Yup that is the plan, getting a mate to have a look over it, if he can't do the fab work ill be going to Havoc 

[blah_blah]

Small update

So a few things. Need to fix the rear camber so ordered hard race rear camber arms.

Also rear end bearings were gone so apparently it is easier to order a full HICAS delete kit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over the next month will also do a custom cooler piping job and custom airpod box.

 

May also do Sandown this month but not sure yet
