Mate I'm only going on what I have heard in the pits at super series rounds. I didnt think it could make THAT much of a difference but apparently it does. Some interesting chat at the last round about splitters and rear wings. I'll report back here when I've givin it a lash.

from everything i've read the front splitter increases front end downforce by a huge amount increasing front end grip for better turn in and mid corner front end response, couple this with a balanced rear wing and it'll increase mid corner speeds dramatically.

ideally, if you go over the top and create a full under car splitter ending with rear diffuser you will see even more gains ;) front end grip always seems to be a weak point for skylines (well gtst's anyways ive noticed) so i guess anything you can do to help is good!

what info did you get from the pits jack? keen to learn more.

i belive that there is a particular amount that the difuser should rais by as it goes inwards of the car. to grate and it wont work. but to make it work regardless you really need to have a full flat floor.

regardless of if they work or not they look tuff in my opinion.

well, actually its a bit of a lie because part of the info came from someone I know who is a regular track warrior in nsw. the diamensions/surface area etc and how much the splitter protrudes past the bar etc but what I was told looked to be very very simular to what I saw on nunn's and sheriff's cars - well proven beasties

however, I didnt bust out the measuring tape and spirit level lol, otherwise I may have had a race boot lodged up my arse.

I know that some of the cars I have seen on the mainland run a small lip, gurney flap type thing at the front of the splitter and the splitter appears to be paralell with the ground apart from that, and I recall one of the 32's down here have a simular design, not 100% sure tho.

because ally is flexible, and the way i intend to mount it (at the rear), i'm hoping to be able to adjust the angle quite easily. also, the turnbuckles actaully do have adjustment on the front, around 10mm actually so I will have a few options to play with. at the moment, the car is undergoing other tweaks (bilsteins instead of shitheap Teins, different sway bars, few odd things here and there), so I will maybe wait till I have a fresh set of semi's on it once i've stopped playing with the rest and i'll spend a day or 5 playing with angles and also rear wing angles/gurney flap. At the end of the day its trial and error I guess the rules remain the same but every car is different but hey thats the fun of datsun ownership =D

really, its not like i'm setting out to win superlap or anything lol, its just a bit of fun and if i feel improvments and I can go faster then yay, if not oh well. keep trying haha

yiew, remsa pads ordered from gsl rallysport

apparently they are better than the hpx's but not as agressive as the ar1m's

got a set of fronts coming for the stagea and the corolla :)

i also added some urethane goo to the front engine mount on the corolla ninja.gif super-dodgy fix ftw!

Will shortly be looking for a S13, S14, 180sx, R32 2 door or 4 door, or a cefiro shell on the cheap for a street registered play toy to put my RB in. Not fussed bout rolling or front ends as I will bolt all my skyline gear straight on. Needs to be straight, complied, registered or within 3 month period, and if not a R32 4 door shell then interior will help ;)

Oh god...and my parents call me bad if I have a daily, a toy, and a shell lol. I got tax back already so I think I should avoid mixing alchohol and cars for sale or I might do a repeat of your weekend efforts :unsure: Already bought a full clear light set for the S13 out of tax money :whistling:

Looks pretty good Jack..

I know alot of the guys in the states that add front aero have to re-support the front bar. Or support the front splitter seperately to the front bar. Maybe somthing to look into?

only , r34 , r33 , r32 and a el falcon , and a troopy and the 32 shell and the a31 shell oh and the purple a31 :whistling::blush:

No HQ race car anymore??

That's awsome Toff... simply awsome... I should bring my missus round to your garage to see that 'my' addiction, isn't THAT bad.. ha ha ha.

When do you want me to bring the turbos kit over???

Cheers

Justin

oh well, give it some love, ???? profit?

Yeah , i'm guessing that's what i was thinking , the guy was going to wreck it because a wheel fell off (thanks to one of his mates) , it's my old yellow 4d

Turbo kit , i might come get them off ya this w/e if i get a chance mate , as soon as i find the caps :) . you know , i've never counted up all the cars i have untill now :/

zip ties mate, she'll be rite lol. yeah Until I test it obviously I wont know how much bracing/extra bracing it will need.

Small update for me is a I found a steering rack and cross member thanks to Ti (will get onto getting it picked up asap :D ) so once I've got them infront of me I can start nutting out fitting power steering into the 32 and finally get the motor position right.

Oh and change the suspension over (thanks again to Ti :D ) so I can nut out wheel arches and brake set up clearance. Seeing as this is the first year I will actually get a tax return for sometime I thought Id use it wisely but then I had a rethink and decided to blow it on the car...

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
