plex 15th


Recommended Posts

At this stage I'll be there, I have the night off work but I am getting over a bout of food poisoning atm so I can't be sure I'll be right by then.

Brett and his R33 GTR should be there, and I've almost talked Ken into coming, but it'll depend upon if he has sold the GTR yet, R34 also sounds like he might be talked into it and bring down his WRX for its inaugural run.

Who else is thinking of going? it looks as if we might get lower temps. than the past few Wed. nights.

Rhino,

It was quite busy last week, but still get 10+ runs in if your there early. I was told if we can get 10+ cars together they will give us our own lane, might be worth thinking about.

Works Auto,

Sorry to hear about the gearbox, planning a stock replacement or something stronger?

Hicks,

Tyres for the 16's, I'll try and find some. If you had better rims, like 17's or 18's then I have some waiting at my house. When you blow the turbo try and do it at the end of the track so you don't ruin the racing.:bahaha:

See'ya:burnout:

Yes rb20det box is piss weak... IM trying one outta a r33 rb20e non turbo.

Apparently same box as rb20det . we will see.

RB25DET box costs $1500... too much for me at the moment.

I hit third pretty hard and heard a large bang. So i babied it home in 4th gear.

I think ive either collapsed a bearing or ripped third gear appart.

I'll have a look when i take it out.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
