  1. I'd like to do what ur doin JimX but i think that what i currently have should be doing then what it currently is. My setup: Standard Calipers Bendix Ultimates DBA Slotted Rotors 320c Brake fluid Ever since boiling my brake fluid (old fluid) at EC Trackday a month ago i got new fluid put in and my pedal is low and firm and i dont have the confidence in it like i used to have with the standard setup. Im thinking that they just didn't bleed it properly or that i toasted my pads or something which need to be replaced but im not sure. I'd like to upgrade whatever needs to be upgraded so that i can do 5x 7 lap races at eastern creek and drive home with my brakes feeling the same as when i arrived that morning.
  2. If its the same as last time.... Arrive at 7:30am so u can grab a garage for the day Drivers briefing is at about 8:30am i believe First car on track at 9am
  3. Watching is free (even from the pit wall) although doing laps as a passenger is $20.
  4. Don't have any problems with it. Afew people have said it is way heavier than the standard clutch but it feels normal to me.
  5. ooh ooh group buy i want to beef up my brakes still (got pedal issues) and my brakes mechanic said that i wouldnt need braided lines but i wanna hit em hard on trackdays.
  6. Heres my suggestion and also a heap more info... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ighlight=Daikin
  7. Yeah if this bodykit doesnt give me -atleast- 30rwkw im not gonna be happy with Blitz for selling it to me
  8. Sorry guys but im gonna have to pull out. Was just out washing my car and noticed by back tyres are worse than semi-slicks. I was hoping they would last this Trackday (which they would) but then give me time to get some money to purchase a new set afterwards. An unexpected purchase of a bodykit last week + additional fitting/painting fees has set me well back for the next 2mths. I should be back as part of Team-Track-Day in about 4 months time (with some dedicated track tyres).
  9. It certainly was different but i dont think i could stand much more than 2hrs worth. ROFL with the Ford driver who only made it 3 corners hahahah.
  10. I was there last time and they didnt tie down afew cars and 1 jumped off and caused some damage. Admittently it had over 300rwkw with more to go but i do prefer to have a car tied down then rely on the operators expertise to throw in the clutch.
  11. is it $35 for 3 runs ? or 2 runs ? Hopefully they learn to tie the cars in this time.
  12. Sounds pretty good and I might just come along. Is this like a full fledged Aust Rally or is it just some low-ass thing for a friday nite ? I'll be on the mob '04gotskank' err 0414335030
  13. I have a heap of gold left over from when i did my engine bay and i too thought u had to take off the caliper to do this so i might look at giving it a go.
  14. It will look verrrry similar too http://skylines.pnc.com.au/ecu.jpg (except it will have different model #'s on it)
  15. I bought the DBA's in the recent group buy and i think they cost me like $900ish fitted for front n back. I haven't noticed any difference with them for a couple of reasons... I only did 300km on the new DBA's before hitting them way -too- hard at a trackday resulting in glazing them and giving em a wash in brake fluid . So after that trackday I got new fluid put in and my brake pedal just doesnt even feel normal let alone better from the DBA's so i think i need to get them looked at again (in about 2wks before i hit the next trackday). Really though i dont think in normal street driving you will feel a difference i bought them purely for that little bit extra at trackdays (which im yet to notice because of above and coz my tyres are bald).
  16. If i had a FMIC along with a HKS Pod filter with the standard airbox still fit (so i can hide my pod) ? Or would heaps of modfying be required ?
  17. 245 will fit on standard R33 rims ? (225/50/16)
  18. Sounds nice but your about 3mths too early for me. I just ordered a 400R sideskirts and a 400R rear bar last weekend and now im struggling to get funds for the painting/fitting. A 400R would go nicely (although verrrrry low).
  19. The bodykit and carbon wing blade i got that the UAS sale should add atleast 30rwkw so i'll be aiming to improve my laptimes :P
  20. A word of advice from my first trackday experience (a month ago at EC). Don't worry about how fast you can go, just make sure you can stop. A good set of pads and -really- good quality brake fluid is a must. If you can't remember when you last had your brake fluid changed it was way too long ago (as I learnt). Go and get the 300+ degree's stuff ($100 fitted) and a new set of front pads. Its quite scary going into a downhill hairpin with your brake pedal flat to the floor (lucky it was on the cool down lap and i was doing 60km/h around a 70km/h corner).
  21. You have all those mods and only on 188rwkw ? (If my calculations are correct) With those mods I would be -expecting- around 240rwkw -atleast- (probably need injectors). I suggest you try a different tuner because something is deffinetly up !! FYI im currently on 203rwkw (shootout mode) and 188rwkw (standard mode) with only: 12 PSI FMIC HKS Pod Filter (unboxed) Full 3" Exhaust Std ECU Std Turbo
  22. Thread Updated.
  23. Give your clutch a solid 1500km of gentle everyday driving before you start doing anything silly. Also make sure you are using Redline Gearbox Oil it makes a HUGE difference.
  24. Whats the condition like? I have a '95 with airbag and its quite worn, wouldn't mind replacing it.
