Plex tomorrow (4th)


Recommended Posts

I have got a medical and fitness evaluation for a job tomorrow arvo hence I can make work Wed. night:rolleyes: (thats what I'm telling work anyway)

So depending on how knackered I am and whether I can be bothered (I have more physical testing on Thursday so I might need to catch up on sleep) on the night I might head on down to the Plex.

Is anyone else planning on goin?

If so theres a 50/50 chance I'll be down there fangin the R, come up for a chat, 'cause unfortunately haven't been in the loop since the last wed. night drags I organised ages ago.

Cheers,

Ryan.

I wouldn't be asking for tips off me :(

I'm a follower of the "Buy a GTR and rev it till 7 or so, load up the drivetrain then jump off the clutch and change gears as fast as you can until you hit the line"

Not very scientific, difficult or perhaps even intelligent but it works for me, but then again I still haven't cracked a 12:D

I'm gonna head down. Just had the car tuned up so with any luck i'll pull a high 13.

Gtst vspec, you should head down to race. Your doin what I did, the whole time your watching your wishing you were raceing.

Why do you need to watch first??

The only reason I did is cause I had no helmet.

I'll save ya some time, holdens pull 13's-14's, most skylines pull 14's, some do 13's, gtr's do 12's, wrx's pull 14's, mazdas do 11's-14's.

And fords, ha ha, fords.

Thanks for the tip Hicks,

I could probably get a helmet by tommorow but I'm working till about 7:30, so I didn't want to give it a half hearted effort. The following Wednesday I will be prepared.

Hope to see you down there though.

See'ya:burnout:

I went down and saw a few runs from Hicks, Macka and adam32 ( I think :)

By the looks of it Hicks got into high 13's one run at 13.8 .. I think and the rest were low/mid 14's.

Macka had some sweet runs with a nice 13.06 and 13.07 and some 15.something run..

**** remember anymore :)

There was a sick speedworks 200sx but dropped a bit of white smoke on it's last run (blown turbo?).

Also saw a GTiR up against a S13 which was beating it up until half track when it basically slowed to a crawl to never come out again :)

Was a pretty good night with a all-holden burnout pad at the end.

No soarers this week, suprise suprise.

That's my recap :D

Well It seems Macka is breathing down the necks of the GTR boys and girls now with flat 13's. Thats where I'd like to be next time round. Might be a bit harder for me without that Mack-tastic power :)

A little birdy told me the track was 'treated' reasonably tonight, something I think they should do more of since more street cars are turning up to race.

Hicks, did you get that 13.8 you were chasing?

Adam32 how did you go with the boost over 8psi?

Well done everyone, seem's like (almost) everyone came back happy.

Hicks, what was your 60' like? Did you end up running on standard rear rims?

Macka, what was your terminal speed like? Must have been pretty good with a 12.98 1/4 and only a 2.25 60'.

adam 32, sorry to hear... give us details once you recover.

as far as i can tell...

on my first run with soft suspension, as i changed into 2nd the centre muffler (which is very low to the ground) bounced up and smashed into the diff. there is now a considerable oil leak and im assuming power wasnt being transferred through the diff and thus the shitty time of 14.4

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
