Sounds like you guys had a great time out there, and well done for coming top of the class :P

Now....I'll be down there from Monday until end of October, so I expect you all to

1) Organise a track day at each Vic track before then

2) Let me know where I can hire a cheap mx5/mrs/mgf etc etc

:(

Adz,

You have done very well mate, congrats.

I was following you for a while and you were driving pretty smooth.

Ferni,

To answer your question from the other thread, my oil temp was 100 degrees. Do not worry too much about the guides around the cooler core, but get some vents happenning in your guard lining to circulate the air.

Chris were having highish oil temps as well and he drilled some holes on the lining as a temporary fix. I forgot to ask him how much of a difference it made, but he will let us know when he signs in.

My corner speeds were comparatively lower than everyone else, which fully explains the slower lap times. It was probably the mixture of driver and rubber and there is a lot improve on both counts.

Snwoman,

That is one hot pic, but Geoff is definitely sucking it in. :P

Cheers mate, you were pretty good for street tyres too. Did you like my drift style show on corner 5? Didn't expect to see you facing towards me when I came round on the next lap! Thats what you get for trying to keep up with a GT-40 on slicks! :P Mind you later on Semi's I had a moment, managed to floor it and bring it round though.

Did you mean turn 6...? Not much of a drift action was happenning, you were mostly spinning them on a straight line. A lot of smoke though, the girls thought someone blew up. :D

You were too slow anyway, so i took you over. :D

Snowman,

You are soft and sexy and smell tough with a whiff of petrol scent. :bahaha:

Chris told me that his temps dropped from about 120 on sat to about 110 on sun with the holes in the wheel guard inner, and he was driving harder on the sun.

Bingo Andrew, there is the next mod you have to perform before the next track day.

If you are eager enough, you can manufacture some sort of a guide around the core as well. Here is what my HKS one look like :

It's in two pieces and bolted together.

ahhh i didn't realise there were 2 peices, i was just thinking it was the left (inside) peice... shouldn't be to hard to measure up and get made, but first i would like to do what you have done with the gtst guard inner

...and there she sat all day, all dressed up and no date :(

The boys discuss the Wallabies disappointing Sat night performance :(

I was happy to throw the tyres on everyones cars, as the only thing i could really salvage from the weekend was seeing the big smiles of others as they jumped out of their cars :) ...its the only thing that kept me going. Does Geoff ever stop smiling :D

Forget lap times and sticky rubber, who didnt have an off? You should be ashamed :flamed: If you dont spin you aint try'n :D ...

Had a couple of big moments in the wet with the tail wagging the dog, but I caught them...kinda. No offs or full spins. I'm smiling just thinking about it :)

The ability of the track rubber allows so much more confidence and suddenly the race cars were not pulling anything in the turns, so were slaughtered on the straights.

Talked to the guy with the GT Falcon after the event and he'd had a good day too but was a bit put out by getting done by skylines. Quote "And how would sir like his ass handed to him today"

Does Geoff ever stop smiling  

Troy - check out the photo of Andrew, Geoff and Emre (posted above) - i dont see much of a smile there - although it must be the only minute of the whole weekend that he wasn't smiling.

What can we say - Geoff is just a happy guy

...and more.

Emre - thanks for the info on the oil cooler. Was at least 10-15 degrees cooler with those holes I made.

Andrew - i'm going to have to sabotage your car if I cant beat you soon....

Troy - get your biatch back on the road. I wanna see that Geoff style grin light up on your face.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
