Yep, very noticeable difference. Even it it's pitch.

Tested here.

[ssxRicho]

So a clean up before WTAC.

bump now gone!

[ssxRicho]

on the road to wtac.

started the weekend looking like this.

[ssxRicho]

that changed on day too...the guys decided that tap was the answer.

[ssxRicho]

The car ended up looking like this.

Every crack taped up, even the doors...

[ssxRicho]

Ended up 10th in Club Sprint.

[ssxRicho]

SAU Nationals 2012 comes around, after WTAC a new seat is in order.

SPARCO Corsa

Apart from that the car didn't change, same set of tyres etc.

Haven't yet.

They are much heavier than 1200, thats for sure. Nissan says 1370ish from the factory.

I'd say it's 1300'ish at the moment. You can take a heap off metal and gear off it, but there has been so much added.

[ssxRicho]

So the focus is firmly on World Time Attack in October. Then Winton/Wakefield come up with feeder state rounds. So it's on to improve the car in readiness for the Vic round.

Weight, removing the AC

And ducting between the intercooler and radiator

Adding a power steering cooler at the same time.

Changing the spring rates from 8/6 to 10/7, longer wheel studs

[ssxRicho]

A change in wheel size. From 17x9 +22 to 18x10 +35, these needed a 5mm spacer on the front to clear the inside.

Also, the regs for Vic were a little stuffed and allow club cars to run r comp tyres.

So a set of 265 A050's in medium, my first try at an r comp tyre.

[ssxRicho]

more powerrrrrrrrrrrr

change the stock intake pipe to a hard one and give it more boost. Also had to change the actuator from the stock one to a HKS 1 bar.

The little 21U won't hold boost up top and bleeds off to from 18 to 15PSI

[ssxRicho]

Vic Time Attack 2013

Finished with a 1.32.3, that's 4 seconds faster then my previous PB there.

[ssxRicho]

Hit up Winton again at a club day not that long after.

Got the time down to a 1.31.2

[ssxRicho]

The next days, something is wrong. The is loading and unloading during cornering..

I manage a 1.19, but call it a day early as it dicey as.

[ssxRicho]

So we pull the diff down.

once the centre is pulled down, we find

That a number of the plates have had their inside teeth removed....

[ssxRicho]

There isn't enough time for parts to come in a put the diff back together before NSW Time Attack, so I raid my brothers daily.

Which has a newer NISMO GT 1.5 way (mine is an old NISMO mech 2 way). But is a non ABS housing diff.

So I'll be running NSW TA without ABS

At the same time the rear arms go off to pedders for polly bushes and new ball joints.

[ssxRicho]

more upgrades before NSW

rear gurney, test fitting here. End results is black.
