Car was dropped off yesterday to get the guards done should be finished by mid next week. Then car will be sent off for some more work at havoc fab and then off to racepace for some cusco suspension work.

Took a photo of it before I put it on the trailer. Still undecided if I should keep the wheels white or spray them black

I'm going for pretty much exactly like this guard work front and back.

If the flare job ends up as good as that blue thing you would have to be happy with that.

Stick with the white centre wheels. More work to keep clean but it will stand out more on the track and in your pics.

Yeh those guards look awesome. I've shown the bloke doing the work this pic and said make it look exactly like this. Gunna cost me a bit but it will be worth it.

I'm with you on that I reckon the white stands out more to. It's defiantly gunna stand out on the track.

The rear end will be a comparatively easy.

Front end suggestion - get the ride height down near where you want it, crank on the camber and caster you will need, and with the springs removed from shocks get an idea of what rubs as you move the wheels through their suspension and steering range. Anything looking like rubbing needs some loving with a hammer to give clearance.

Yeah the car will be getting lowered as low as it can go once other side is done then they will be going through with all the clearances problems. I've told them I don't want any rubbing/fouling throughout the steering arch. They've taken a lot out of the guards because they haven't adjusted the height yet and those guards were sitting on the tyres.

Plenty of camber, none of this half-done 2.5 or 3 degrees stuff. Make sure your hardware allows for a good 5 degrees, then with clearance for that amount you'll never have troubles.

The forward tub sections will be the area needing some love, particularly with a bit of caster pulling the wheels forward.

I'm really looking forward to the end result.

Yeh as soon as this work is done I'm gunna send it in to racepace to get there modified cusco arms.

You and me both!! Car should be fully finished in the next 6 weeks.

What do racepace modify on their cusco arms?

Every arm in my 33 is cusco and Ive never run out of any adjustment, running modded knuckles and relatively extreme alignments.

Wondering if Ive missed something?

Cars in at racepace atm getting the work done. Slowly running out of time to get it ready for wtac [emoji45]

Keep at it dude. We just put the gearbox back in mine on the weekend.

Use the SAU Nats on the 3rd of Oct as the shakedown.

Cars slowly coming along at the panel beaters should be finished by next week from getting the custom guards done. Fronts are done minus paint. Look awesome!!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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)
