Probably has the best suspension to cope with the bumps as well.

SAU certainly does well at the top of the timesheets but not everyone can lap in the teens, this is my best effort from the day

Enjoyable day, if a bit rushed between sessions due to only 4 groups. Unfortunately the only breaks to proceedings were due to some offs.

There are plenty of us that won't ever be at the top of the time sheet, but we sure as hell have fun trying :)

Love the new camera angles JP.

The diff comes out tonight, I'm interested to see wtf is going on in there.

I would love to know aswell. Does it only happen when the diff got warm, or only on particular corners?

All corners, all laps.

A better way to explain it is...like a crazy monkey operting the handbrake as you apply power.

Sounds scary... at least you have some talent to fall back on. If they guy under my bonnet starts doing crazy things, I can't see it ending well

I've seen that occur before, Rich, the issue ended up being caused by the bearings on the spider gears in the diff seizing due to a lack of oil and the oil in the diff failing from overheating, so that when the diff was under load in a corner, the spiders moved out of alignment and wedged in the case, causing inconsistent load to go through the wheels.

Here is a few of my laps, first time @ Sandown can't wait to go back with some more grip and bigger balls!

And a harness! That's got some decent power.

Is it normal to use second gear that often or is that an sr20 thing...doesn't even get 5th down the straight.but still cracks 210.... :blink:

That would be the shit aussie diff ratio.

Drop a 4.11 in there and it will be magic.

Yes its ADM SR20 so final drive ratio is 3.692, 4th is maxing out @ 210-220kph. Due to brake issue I was also trying to be smoother from a bit earlier so might as well hold on to 4th along both straights.

Also boost/torque curve is not really ramping up till 3.5kr so don't like dropping below 4k unless you had a long corner exit where you have the choice for higher gear spooling up.

Looking at an LSD so just need to recheck speed/5th gear rpm at PI before determining if I go to hassle of changing a final drive, speedo reset, higher rpm cruise to non melbourne events etc, sits on just over 3000r @ 110kph

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
