Ahhh yes , the Chris and Ken's Kalamunda to the weir thrashfest.

Cheers

My speed cut is still in as well - sucks eh?

yeah?

so how come I hit XXX+5 and had long-forward-neck and then you belted past about 20 kms faster?

I might have taken my foot off at that stage, but not by much!

there was one point when we got stuck behind that 4wd and the car with the canoe on top.... I was fuming! but then we went past that multi and Im sure had I not beendoing 55, I would have been doing something horrifically not-55!!

Ken, Not a problem for me, I'll sleep with you:p

On the way home after dropping Aidwin home I was driving enthusiastically at the double ton, hard to swerve left and right to avoid traffic, then the car died, I will still doing a ton and a half! Luckily it was in a straight line. Was it just fuel starvation from the sideways action?

See'ya:burnout:

Died ?

As in rolled to a halt , sputtered once , dash lights came on ?

Be more specific.

Cheers

GTR's seem to get 200kmh before the limiter comes in.

neo

car has tein coilovers with dodgy-install usingone spacer instead of 2 to try and make it lower!

when it came in it wsa on 35s and was the lowest skyine Ive ever seen. pimpin only - cause you couldnt turn the wheel past 5.

have jacked it up about 5-6 inches to put it through the pits.

now seek to arrange a "compromise height".

Died, as in battery and oil light came on, had to re-start the car while rolling at 150:D

See'ya:burnout:

why didn't you just bump start it ?

Sounds weird, sure you havn't got a loose terminal or something ?

How much fuel was in the tank ?

Cheers

Aidwin,

I think I still need to sort out my brakes, even once hot there not that great:p

See'ya:burnout:

Brakes , biggest killer of speed.

Trouble with good brakes is they cost.

Go DBA slotted , Castrol srf or AP660 brake fluid with a good bleed and Pagid blue pads in the front with Bendix ultimates in the rear.

Adjust the brake pedal height to take out 90% of the freeplay and viola"

A good brake you can trust.

Cheers

Ken

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
