well i just finished what i wanted to do. I've bled the brakes. checked the oil etc and even installed my new castor rods. I don't have time for a wheel allignment so i just did it by eye/feel. I think the castor may not be quite even, but i did measure them pretty accurately. It feels heaps better. much sharper turn in, and the wheel self centres quite aggressively. steering is quite a bit heavier, but it's certainly bareable.

hmm, i had better get some sleep, i may be a little late fellas (9:30 ish) apparently there is no scrutineering though so it shouldn't be a problem. :angry:

see you boys at the track!

WTF I thought I heard Skylines today while I was at work but I couldn't figure out why. I work right near Eastern Creek and went outside and thought I heard a GTR, then I heard more of them and so I was wondering what was going on. Glad I'm not imagining things...

It will be my first time on the Eastern Creek track, from the map on the website it looks like a lot of fun

Except for Yogi's little incidednt in the first 5 min, it was a good day (Just goes to show crap tyres have no place on a race track). Accidents and hold ups did make for a long day and not enough drive time in my mind, but again thats the worst thing about these days, they take their time to clean the track after incidents and with that many race team there are bound to be a few spin off's.

No pics and no lap times but Im sure every had a great time. I think we got ralph hooked on drive days as well.

So I take it you guys had more fun than all other Sydneysiders on Saturday.

N1GTR,,,you can sign up on the day but it'd a little trickie. The ARDC and CAMs don't like us doing it and I can't guarantee you'll be allowed.Why not download the form from cams and send it in. Theres still time buddy.

I'm up for the 29th,EC diffs now in,gearbox is repaired and rear suspension has been freshened up.

Neil.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
