S A U - N S W Autumn Tech Arvo Saturday 10Th May 2Pm
MrStabby replied to GTR-N1's topic in Events Archive
In - Thanks Terry. -
If there's no difference in price for the coilpacks you may as well go s2 so you don't need to buy an ignitor pack (or if you have one you can sell it).

Its normal to expect thicker oils to make the engine run hotter. IIRC its because of less internal friction and higher thermal conductivity of thinner oils, but don't quote me on that.

Rb26 R32 - Blowby & Oil Consumption
MrStabby replied to deongster's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
You need to find where the oil is getting out. If its being burnt you should see white/blue smoke out the exhaust. Have you looked for leaks? Using a thick oil is a bandaid (but it is cheap). -
This, except for stuff that tends to break - circlip pliers, quarter inch drive sockets, easy outs....

Last time i went they had three or four instructors. The instructor will come around in your car and give you tips. The instructor I got was excellent. -

Bcpr6Egp Single Platinum Spark Plug?
MrStabby replied to Torques's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
GT is a professional tuner, so he will have tons of experience will all types of plugs. However, yeah, he should say why. -
Pretty sure 2 is the factory boost controller not the PCV. 6 is the windscreen wiper motor. If the strut brace hits the Twin Turbo pipe, its probably the wrong strut brace. It should angle up at both sides had be flat in the middle.

Pads For 8 Pot D2S
MrStabby replied to geetea-are's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
The A1RM part number for the 330mm kit (which i believe uses the same pads as the 356 kit) is QDB 1933, which i guess is QFM using Bendix naming which would be DB 1933, and a bit of the googles gives; HSV Aftermarket Up-grade, VE / VZ Series, AP 6 piston Caliper & Harrop 6 piston Caliper, Clubsport, Maloo, Senator, Grange, GTS & GTO - 06 on & 05-06 Front DB1933 -
Nitto Nt05 And Nitto Invo
MrStabby replied to SiR_RB's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Mick_o - did you think the RSRs and KU36s were about the same level of dry grip? I remember back a couple of years ago the the reports were that the RSRs were much grippier than the KU36s. SIR_RB - not sure on kms, have done some track days on them too, so it wouldnt mean much. Next thing to consider is price. If the RS3s are about that same as the RSRs then its a no brainer to go with RS3's, but if they're significantly cheaper (SAU NSW price) then you've got a more difficult decision. I'd still probably spend the dough and go for the most grip tho. I imagine you've spent a bit on your engine! -
Here's my 2c. Options A, B and C are all out. If you do any of that stuff, you're setting yourself on a bad path and bad attitude. Don't start looking at GTRs until you're ~6 months out from your full license. Aim to get one just before or after. In the mean time get something that's a bit track friendly (eg. mx5, Integra) so that you can have some fun and refine your car control. You could spend a little on mods on that temporary car, but remember you wont get any of it back, and its money you wont be able to spend on the GTR. Keep your driving record clean! Otherwise you'll get constant attention from the police, and they wont give you the benefit of the doubt or let you off. So that means don't speed on the streets - that's what the track days are for.

Nitto Nt05 And Nitto Invo
MrStabby replied to SiR_RB's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
No idea about Hankook RS-3 and Potenza RE-11, but if John Boston says they're better, i'd take that as gospel. Most people answering here (including myself) have only used a handful of different tyres, so are largely ignorant..... I was impressed with the RSRs, and would not be surprised if they upped the treadwear. Mine have lasted a lot longer than i thought they would. Fatz is a track junkie, so he wouldnt like the RSRs. If he's talking about the Federal R specs, then that's not relevant to the RSRs. I like your summary - its about horses for courses and bang for buck. Daily driving = INVO Weekend car = NT-05 -

Nitto Nt05 And Nitto Invo
MrStabby replied to SiR_RB's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
With as much power as you have, I wouldn't even consider the Invos and go to the NT-05s - but i haven't used either. If you join SAU NSW, you can get a deal on Federal RSRs which I have used and think are great (they are available in that size). RSRs are treadwear 140 compared to NT-05s @ 200, so should be a lot more grippy but wont last as long. I'd use RSRs if I had your car. No point in having huge power if you cant use it. -
IMO since oil pump is an engine out job, just check the harmonic balancer is good and dont limiter bash. The drive should be ok if you do that. Original turbos seem to be a much greater risk so i'd put a high priority on them.

Boot light? You can put a multimeter in amp mode in series with the battery (keys out of the ignition), then pull fuses to see what causes the drain measured on the multimeter to drop. I just pull negative off the battery since the GTR is not a daily anymore.

Gtr Tension Rod Bushes
MrStabby replied to SiR_RB's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Another option is to use Nismo radius rods which have a wider (and therefore stiffer bush). Rose joint arms: best suspension control, excellent adjustability, illegal, less durable Nismo arms: improved suspension control over stock, small adjustment with aftermarket bushes, legal, durable -
R32 Gtr Time Attack Suspension Setup
MrStabby replied to emilio_bro's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
R32s understeer a lot, and power oversteer a lot. AFAIK the understeer is due to the weight imbalance, so can be bandaided over but not stopped. Power oversteer is due to the attessa setup which can be cured with an attessa tweaker (and I guess the transfer case mod mentioned by Mick. I havent had it done, but many swear by it). I have ~400awhp and no problems powering out of the corner. -3 camber on the front -1.25 at the rear, zero toe both ends, castor will be around 4 40 now (stock is 3 40 so what i would have been running last track day, and i believe the nismo kit gives an extra degree), R spec tyres (r888s). IIRC i was running -2 at the front with RSRs, and wasnt that much slower, but r888s suck. My latest mods on my car to get rid of understeer are: Nismo suspension arm kit, softer front springs, more front ride height (old springs were too short to get to 350mm). Cant wait to try it out. -
R32 Gtr Time Attack Suspension Setup
MrStabby replied to emilio_bro's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
If the alignment caused problems, get that undone. Around -3 camber is what you'd use for R-specs, so is too much for S-specs like RSRs. I'd start with -2 and see how that goes. Measure the temperature across the tread inside to outside to see if its even. 6-7 castor is supposed to feel great but you'll destroy your upper control arm bushes pretty quickly... -2 camber on the rear is probably too much as well. If you can, post full alignment specs before and after. R32 attessa sucks balls in stock form - too much power oversteer. Get an attessa tweaker if you dont have one already.
