For anyone coming out to watch on the day, the Evo club and BMW club are having a lunchtime happy laps. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/443557-happy-laps-at-the-sprint-day-07-june-2014/

For reference, my first time with only 95awkw and only no handling mods fetched me 67 secs, all be it in a lighter car.

I think I should be around that mark, I'd like to get close to 60 but I'm not sure how feasible that is.

Probably not on street tires unless you are a gun driver, the R35's that i have seen do like 56-57 seconds, but never say never :)

Will be running RSR's on the day but an R compound would obviously be better. I think I lack the power to get really good times at QR..

Yer, im hoping for 62-63 on toyo R888's, but have you been to lakeside? Its so much better of a track, plus power doesn't make as much of a difference there, in saying that the sprint track and clubmans track at QR aren't to bad for low power cars either

Done lots of happy laps at LP and one sprint day that turned into a swim meet. I was running normal 595's that day so I think me best time was about a 79 or something.

thats not bad for wet lap on street tires, that would be a hairy out there near the cliffs and walls hahaha,

also i think there will be some really quick cars out there at qr next weekend, if you haven't heard of it gools evo should be out there, it runs like 52 seconds lol

Was very hairy, 595 are known for being total shit in the wet, some of our guys did some very good times though.

Hey Cadmoon, I know of 2 previous members in near stock 32 gtst's with suspension mods run around 63 to 65 seconds consistently. You should be able to do the same.

Now I have to do it or die trying.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
