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

jealous all your cars are working and ready to race..
I just blew my turbo LOL.
Mr Blah, you interested in Intima brake pads?


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

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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 :1312_thumbsup_tone3:

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:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15873030-1547821361898884-10733021024492

 

15941199-1547821385232215-89167324168121

 

 

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

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
