Hey Michael. Its certainly a cleaner example. The interior is flawless and the car has been taken care off. That's why I intend to keep everything I take off the car and store it so that if I want to

Cheers Raj. I think short term goals around the 250-260kw as I'm only going to go high flow turbo. But I think after getting used to it I will be chasing more power so we'll have to wait and see. C

There are lessons to be learnt all the time working on cars.

One big tip is bunnings don't know or care about bolts. Go to a proper bolt shop for correct grade bolts and advice .

How rooted were the threads? I know that it's too late now, but a die nut would have likely cleaned them up. (Or a thread file, which works out cheaper and more flexible)

Hope you start having some better experiences in the future.

Agreed. Specialised bolt shop or nothing. Threads were pretty rooted but they are no longer an issue. I have replacements for them. Just got news that the bent shock has to be replaced and since its not a readily available brand it seems like the suspension place will be unable to fix it. Headaches....

Hey man, pretty sure we met on a track day at barbs. ( i think )

I have the bunky black bashed up 34 .

Just a suggestion, i have used the QFM track day pads a bit now and find they go to crap after 2 hard laps at barbs.

I would suggest going to EBC Yellow or Blue, or Project Mu.

I had EBC before and was alot better.

Im not exactly sure what causes it, but it most likely is related to heat.

And you having those ducts will certainly help.

They are not a bad pad, just once you go past there limit, dont expect to stay out on the track unless you rest them.

Alright. What brake fluid were you using? Also, did you notice they squeal a lot. I drove them around the street a bit after I bedded them in and they can squeal quite loudly at times. I will definitely try to set up the brake ducts as good as I can get them before going out this saturday. Are you doing the NL full day event?

I would, but i recently purchased a r34 shell i will be transplanting my running gear into.
So i will be out of action for a few weeks.

And im running high temp penrite "racing" fluid.

They do squeal first time i put them on, but after a while they are not to bad.

All the best with the transplant mate. Do you by any chance know anyonw who could fabricate a couple of brackets to which I can hook up the ducts. Im just using cable ties atm and they dont really work in getting the ducts to sit exactly where I want them to

Cable ties are your friend.

I have been using them for year son my skyline and they keep the brake ducts nicely in place.

I had to withdraw from Saturdays NL event but might pop my head up for a look. I am happy to have a look and make adjustments for you.

Track day at barbagallo yesterday - great fun. Other than my gear box (4th gear synchro clips) and suspension issues, the car ran very well. Managed to shave off some seconds off the lap times so I was happy. Good to meet Shaun and thanks for the tips mate. Also good to meet Andrew whos car is an absolute monster.

Thanks to the new rotors and pads I had on, stopping power was substanitially improved. I was able to brake much later than I was before which meant my right foot spent more time where it wanted to be - on the gas.

Only problem with track days is when the day ends. Now what? Looking forward fot the next event.

Will upload pictures of the track day if I find any of my mate.

Till the next episode folks....

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
