Ok - thought I'd put this in a new thread just to grap all of you interested parties attention.

Just recieved an email from Chris (event co-ordinator) that there has been some cancellations and they now have room for 8 more people to the HSV Day at Phillip Island on Sept 19th.

You guys still interested? I have to fax him the details of everyone that wants to participate by Friday morning.

Also - just to throw a spanner in the works - that weekend at Winton they are having an open weekend. The Saturday will be like the usual Fridays ($100 with 30min sessions between cars and bikes) and the Sunday will be another $20 Fun Day. No CAMS license required for anyone that wants to go to these days at Winton but you will need a helmet.

I'm keen to hit Philip Island, but I need to have front and rear anti-roll swaybars fitted and new semi-comp rubber =/ I've been spending too much money recently.. If the car isn't ready at the level I want it in time, I may go up to winton on Sunday for the fun day since I missed out on the last one.

Rubbish :D You dont NEED new sway-bars, you have them std. You dont NEED semi comp rubber. Sure it would be nice to have them, but if you wait until everything is perfect onn your car, you will never, ever make it out there. Hell id be there if my car had an engine in it :Oops: ...even though i have a shopping list as long as my arm of things i want, as opposed to need.

You NEED to get out there and give it a flogg'n :( Std, tweaked or heavily modified it dont matter :headspin:

That's good advice, and you're absolutely right :D

I'll see how things go... I definately want to get out on the track in the 34. But judging from my cars handling on fast corners, I'd like to get my whiteline adjustable swaybars fitted.. also need new race pads & fluid.

No way boy racer, Your car will be fine. I was eating other cars out there so trust me when I say your car is fine. If you've got any questions let me know.

EDIT : I also had stock pads and fluid.

You can get rb74 front, comp 2 rear pads and motul dot 5.1 fluid from racebrakes for just over $300 bucks. Mine are getting installed tomorrow by mate

Is that price from racebrakes directly? I'm also considering Formula Ferrodo pads for the front, they dont squeal as much as the Ferrodo 3000.

Yes, when you go there say were were quotes $145 for the front pair and $132 for the comp 2's. I think ferrodo pads need to be warmed up a fair bit before they start to work, not fun on winter mornings driving to work.

The best ferodo comprimise pad is the ferodo 2500's. They are the stock pads on cars like the AMG mercs. Great track pad for your usual "sprint" sessions but may start to fade if you do an extended 8+ laps in one session.

The 3000 are farken noisey. But god damn they work good! :D

So far for the HSV day I have confirmed:

Snowman

Emre

Duncan

Skylinegeoff

Attached is the sup regs. I will bring some tonight in case - but I have to have these faxed off by tomorrow morning.

I might try to make this aswell since i'm there anyway. Would have actually prefered to do the HSV day rather than the MSCA. Dunno if I can afford both. Are you doing both Andrew?

When is the closing date they speak of? Is it going to be $110 or $200???

    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
    • what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
