WRX Club - Rnd 2 - Phillip Island - March 12


Recommended Posts

Snowy, I thought that was your autosalon run. doesn't matter, i'll squeeze every last drop but on previous assumption it seemed achievable. 260 won't be a problem and will be welcome for top end. When you are sick of the 2530's I'll be in the wings.........:(

Al ultimately the head will have GTR cams as well, just reground to suit the hydraulic lifters but will lack the valve size. Plus the GTR34 turbos are safe at 1.2bar or 17.2 psi. Nice job parking BTW :P. Sorry to hear of it mate.

Ferni I am also running a malpassi FPR which allowed 220 rwkw with the stock injectors at 85-90% with the GTR pump, plus I will be using a Bosch 044 external and swirlpot (for safety on the track). Fuel won't be a problem. Again though, a car with a higher compression ratio will produce more power at the same psi.

No worries Wayne.

At this current stage you will be competing against Ant, heartbrkr and Chrisman (in a TX5) within the club.

Now - if you didnt realise we are all pretty much staying down at PI for the weekend. There are still beds available so you (and if you have a Mrs even) are more than welcome to join us - for either just one night or all weekend if you wish.

:)

Thanks for the offer, I already have accomodation down there. I will fax the entry form off tomorrow. Can you please bring another CAMS entry form for a temporary licence, in case my real one does not arrive by then.

Denham.

The fuel comes from VPW - 541 High Street, Epping - Victoria 3076

The fuel you want is the Sunoco GT Plus 104 (they have a few different types but this is the one you want).

Cost $120 for a 20L drum. One drum will last 2 track days. FYI - this is the stuff Benno uses.

Also Denham - you are in 2WD modifed. You are against Roy, Geoff, Gareth (if he's coming).... and the Ice Supra! :rofl:

Why is Ant in the std class?

He has a Hi-flow turbo, wolf-3d and a little more stuff

Ant: :)

Geoff, you know alot more than me, but with injectors at 85-90% at 220rwkw, i would think at 250rwkw injectors would be close to max.

Nah mate, upgraded now to toyota 440cc injectors from the std RB25 that I had @220rwkw. I think the standards are 340cc or so. A good size jump anyway and good for 300rwkw so plenty in reserve.

Denham, no pics yet as I'm still fitting parts and stuff together. Have to get the manifolds today (Robbie has been flat out with drags and PAYING customers....) and hope to be on the dyno Weds.

What won't get done at this stage will be the cams, swirlpot and 044. Still should be a good power figure but just running out of time and available cash (and wifes' patience) :P

Roy!! You were supposed to be sleeping Dammit!!! Have you apologised to that poor lady yet that you woke at oh dark hundred Friday morning??? Flowers, a nice gift and dinner and a big big apology or you will go straight to HELL in her regard and you won't get ANY.

Oops. i put down standard class on the application. Oh well, hopefully organisers will put me in associated.

Took my car to mechanic yesterday. Changed oils etec.

Probs:

- rear brakes are worn

- front tyres are close to indicators.

Going to see if i can source some cheap pads; and if anyone wanna save me some cash by helping install them? btw, was there some group buy (blind elk?), or did that come and go.

Not sure what to do with tyres. The rears (36psi) have heaps of tread left (no burnouts) but the front (38-40psi) have worn down twice as fast . Deciding whether i can get away with putting the grip at the front, and running the worn on the rear. Bit of a gamble if marshalls kick up a stink.

Else what tyres to get? 2 or 4? Ive got Falken Azenis which came with my car. Havent got $300+ for each tyre. Will have to dip into savings at any rate. Any recommendations?

I'm in for the 12th as well. Having only just bought the R34, Phillip Island will be a good place to get used to driving it after 8 years in Subarus (or not)...

Yas can add me to your championship if you like. I'm happy to join up and pay.

Currently I am a WRX Club member.

The car is standard other than some timing gears and a tune at Racepace. I may also have a PowerFC in by next Saturday if all goes to plan. I'm also planning on running RE55s.

It's goimg to be a great day, let's all keep our fingers crossed for dry weather.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for how to fit a bonnet restraint to the R34?

Cheers

heartbrkr: I wouldn't go for cheap pads if your going on the track, they will fade really quick. Try some RB74 pads around $150 i think, if your really strapped for cash you may be able to get away with some bendix ultimates, a bit cheaper. As for tyres, are they worn on the inside only? or all around? Hard to say what to do without seeing them... I don't remember ever having the scruitineers actually check my tyre tread, so not sure what the deal is there.

wwwrxxx: will be good to see another 34 GTR out there! Don't try to keep up with snowman tho, he's too fast!

snowman uses bonnet pins, most of us other guys have some steel cable in that plastic wrap under the bonnet with some clips... geoff made mine, roy made a bunch last time.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
