Fatz Gtr Reliability Testing


Recommended Posts

Clear up your headlight lenses sheesh :P.

Also, RPF1 are cast but they did hold up well considering the amount of thrashing it copped. Get some forgies brah.

That radio has to come out soon mate, weight reduction and all because race car :P.

Certainly gets the heart racing so close to those walls

Yeah I loved that, reminded me of the milk sign at Oran Park....I was sure I had scraped the paint on 3 occasions (twice at forrest elbow and once at Reid Park) during the race but no evidence when I got back to the pits so it never happened. I enjoy the blind apexes etc where you just have to turn in at the right place and trust physics.....

saw this today regarding Enkei's...

wheels made contact with another car's wheels. Buckled front wheel and ripped part of the lip off the rear. Other cars 3-piece wheels came away pretty much unscathed. apparently has a lot of destroyed enkei's lying around from using them for a few years...

Did you make it to gtr fest fatz?

I witnessed a white 33 gtr using boatloads of handbrake in a few runs on the motorkhana course and wondered if it was you!!

If it had black graphics and holes all over the bonnet that was me. And no handbrake at all on the motorkhana course there, just lots of oversteer.

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
