Hi SAU NSW,

Recently moved up to Northern Beaches from Melbourne, so needing a bad influence from you guys with upgrade advise and motivation.

Been reading the forums since 2011 when I brought an R32 GTR 1990, so big thank you to all that contributed...the info is so valuable.

Car has rebuilt Stage 1 by RacePace Rb26dett, Link G4, 1000cc ID, new pump, new coils, 9l sump, large dump pipes, random front pipes & 3inch exhaust. Nismo twin Coppermix with std diff/box. Ran 11.96 1/4 and few cask days in VIC.

Car is off road for month or so to refresh the brakes & suspension.

If you see me around the Sydney traps, please say hi.

Anyone know what brand springs are in the photo of rear suspension? Lovell?

Organising a set of Bilsteins through Sydney Kid, but tempted to re-use these rear springs as they were ok with worn out factory shocks.

So my 9month old son could probably push these shock in...takes 40seconds to return out with some bubbling sounds.

Can't wait for Bilsteins. Sent dimensions & details to Sydney Kid to see what spring rate, just out of curiosity.

Taking orders for custom 2.4mtr breaker bars...great for cracking nuts. Lacks finesse for tightening though.

Rear brakes out, shocks out, 36mm off....disc still on. Try the 2x 6mm bolt to edge it off, but open to suggestions

Thanks k_d, I undid handbrake in car and at disc..drivers came off easy. Pass side still needed the two bolts inserted and it popped off. Ordering DBA T3 4000s for rear, as discs are under minimum thickness.

Looked at Project Mu handbrake shoes, but couple hundred is abit rough. Anyone changing handbrake shoes...(3mm on all shoes left) & to which OEM Nissan or aftermarket? Worth while?

Sydney Kid confirmed rear springs are 3.5kg, so running with those spring with Bilsteins, Whiteline sway bar and some new bushes.

QFM do a custom handbrake shoe...anyone know what thickness the shoe pads should be?

DBA rears turned up.

Entry in for SAU 24th Aug track day, so goal is June get rear end complete & front brakes with July re-registered in NSW.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
