I'm in the same sitcho, I heard only good things about Race Pace and I just recently bought a PFC.

I'm not looking for mega horse power, just something that runs nicely.

Who would be best to tune a PFC other than ICE.

hey michael,

go see dr drift, (sam)

0425 818 755

he tunes my car and does heaps of PFC.

The best GTST I have seen is owned by Lee Wilson who works for AVO in Cheltenham.

Steve from AVO will be attending our next club meeting (just as a visitor) and hopefully Lee will be having a chat at the October meeting about his car and what they have done to it down at AVO.

Here's a link to them.

Hey on the AVO Website it has a recent trip to Winton where it ran a 1.37.4.

Thats the same time as Scotsman ran on the weekend to put it into perspective.

Infact from memory he beat Scotsman at Sandown that day (but Chris did have a gearbox failure so didn't get a full days running) but I think it ran a 1.23 that day which sure aint slow.

I wouldnt be surprised if at Maserati he is running in the 1:21s,

He has the good gear, and talking to him at Sandown was still finding his way with the new turbo setup/tune and new susp. Following him down the straights, whilst it blew my doors off, it dint walk away from me in a straight line, but combined with Lee being better under brakes, through corners and the extra bit of talent left me 3 seconds behind...the car is way more then 3 seconds quicker then me

Does this mean I need to spend more money?

My best is still a 1.37.2, so he's not there just yet. I think if it didn't rain on the weekend I could have got a 1m36, but the track didn't have the temp or grip in it. And my brain only had guiness in it! But a good comparison snowie.

Also a good comparison is the Black Ferarri 550 with slicks that ran a 1m 37.003 on the weekend.

Yep.

Since Im 2-3s faster than you but still 2-3s slower than Frank I'm in no mans land. Was half the reason I went home on Sunday as I knew I wasn't going to get beat by anyone other than Frank but knew you couldn't get near me.

So go get some 2530's god dam it!! LOL

Stock internals??

On 1 of the supersprints it went past the 550 on the straight quite easily

Yep, stock internals...but keep in mind i pulled time on the Fuz at Sandown as well as i was getting out of the corners much better )even with a shagged diff). So i was pulling away almost up until the start/finish line when it was able to just about hold him....and the AVO car was much quicker aout of the corners and down the straight then both if us....i think there was a session when Lee overtook the Ferrari only to th enext lap overtake me and a WRX on the front straight....i got baulked by the WRX that moved over for him but at the end of the day there was no way i was going to stay with him...

oh and yeh, Racepace uses windex when cleaning his wheels...just to keep it on topic.

Aaron already ran a 1.22.3 in his R34 which still has stock turbos and even stock suspension.

Sure made me look like a hack.

LOL...thats quick. But makes comparison a bit hard. No std turb R32 GTRs getting around, so R33 is the best we can compare to...R34 is completely different vintage, and Skylines dont get better with age :P

im just curious to know how close a similar power GTST can get to a similarily modded GTR...but the spend you boys have got going im going to have to wait for Ferni to get the dollars rolling thru Racepace.

As soon as you guys upgrade anything more then susp and tyres i dont think a GTST can stand a chance... but thats ok, one day i will have blown up every part on my car so it will soon effectively be a 2002 model anyway

I definatly wont have 2530's by sandown mate!

And i'm keen to see if I can crack that 1.22 first wih current setups as I havn't had many laps at Sandown still.

But i'm sick of my current power already. So will need to look at something soon.

So circuit racing is pretty popular around here..

I am racing the victorian series of formula ford next year, vic rounds are at sandown and phillip island.

I would definately like to have a spin around the tracks for some preparation before competing next season.

My car is pretty much standard. Would it still be good enough to have a hoon in.. safely? without blowing anything up?

You obviously have skills behind the wheel...do you want to drive the getaway car whilst i run inside a few pubs, servos etc and do some armed stick ups?

Your not scary enough looking or soundign to help me with the standover side of things, but i need to visit a few local small businesses, i can always give you a run and see how you go

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
