Some know some dont but I'll try keep this updated as this is where it started

Last bit of aero added rear diffuser and side duel element canards

We added a header tank now just to run some water lines and give it a tickle.

Hopefully by end of March im in the seat and we can start working and the organic spacer

All fancy parts etc aside. I'll drive whatever ive got as hard as I can but I hope we just have a balanced car that only needs tweeks here and there...  which never happens 😆 

Side note: that poor gtr front bar has been chopped, added to, changed and riveted to an inch of its life lol  and was considering putting a rear bar back on now I have a diffuser just for looks but thats not just a straight fit on which the extra wide body and the rear qtr being cut so high and also the amount of this I have to get to under the back now is redic so it all might just stay like this for ease 😕

Jesus, that's a big diffuser. Planning to come East for some events at SMSP before WTAC 24?

Out of interest, do you rate the Motorsport ABS? While I'm needlessly upgrading mine I have been considering it but $12k is a lot of cash.

diffuser is bigger than I thought but its the same as everyone else as universal so maybe the lack of bumper or camera angle... or its just big

100% can see the value a flat floor would bring though to join it all together

Yes planning to be over east previous to WTAC and not just at SMSP - just need to organise storage of all my stuff + car etc as Im not going to drive over and back multiple times its not horrible but its really not the most  fun and I just dont have the time either

ABS - big $ yeah + install etc etc. the spend of cash still comes down to the individual ... I did fine without it but 100% I am braking better with it and have picked up time - that just comes  from me as an amateur being able to push it harder without the threat of locking a tyre and 1) screwing a tyre and 2) going shooting off into the sand which adds confidence

In essence you can use your brakes to their limit - pretty much every time

In addition - I dont know your rules and regs but the wheel sensors im now using for traction control and the torque control mapping model for the Motec

My Bosch ABS arrived yesterday, I'll be interested to hear how you rate it now that you've got enough brakes to slow the rotation of the earth. I reckon the ABS will be working pretty hard to keep up with this mental setup you've put on.

My mate runs 380mm V8SC brakes on his IPRA car, it's mental and you've gone even bigger😂

nice - pain in the butt to get that in and setup/ installed but good when done - you running sensors off hubs not shafts yeah ?

it will be interesting thats for sure might take a bit of getting used to def think lucky have setup data to adjust ABS etc to optimise asap and just tweek from there I gather

Tyre adhesion will be the challenge. 

 

It will be - not going to be running the max high coeffcient sprint pad just a normal race pad as got told "it'll rip ya face off" otherwise 😅

Yep....it is worth remembering anything except the shittest brake setups are limited by tyre grip for a single stop, not brake ability.

Bigger brakes only make a difference for repeated stops as smaller brakes would get hot and fade

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
