Just starting to do a few track days.  My track has 3 long straights followed by hairpins so i dont' wanna be diff locking all time.

With the heel and toe technique -  Ive got a r33 gts-t with evo brembo front and rear.  The brakes are so good, it only takes a light touch at the top to get it to stop.  My accelerator pedal is much lower down than the brake so im having big problems with heel and toe to downchange gears (im not even getting it close)

I was going to put a layer or two on the accelerator pedal to try and the get the same sort of height, but even with this the brakes are heaps sensitive.

Any suggestions ?

thanks

Tried some new plugs as old ones were fouling just moving the car out of the garage ....

With new oil cooler it takes 20-30 minutes of idling to get the gauge to move.  Even at the track it takes a while and is always super low temps.  I installed it low and air flow, ive now had to put cardboard across the front to try and keep some heat in - just gets so cool so quickly.

15-60 for race oil and tracking is not necessary now, just regular 15-40 Nulon is fine.  Even with the oil cooler 4.75 L of oil is needed to fill up.

I had similar with my 25row cooler, to the point where I was kinda concerned about the oil never getting hot enough... ever. It was perpetually under 100C _without_ the cooler and most of the RB life driving around was like 65C...

Mine is now behind an indicator which is nice enough to remove/add for the track (in a R34). but yeah, it overcooling is something that happens on the road..

thanks for the read and reply, something you don't realise till after you have installed it !

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
