what head you got on there? lower the engine mounts 12mm on one side and 15mm on the other, can't remember which way round, check Cubes' pdf!

i play sundays at the seaford rec, only started 6 months ago so i aint too crash hot but if your in desperate need next time let me know!

feb 24 is clipsal incase u didn't know!

ca18det's, Rb30et's and probably more come standard with no bov and i've seen plenty with 200,000kms + on the turbo and motor so thats a good enough answer for me!

where abouts r u a welder?

mmmm, hoping for an easier way.

not too bad at all actually, i think having the big turbo with the motor i have really suits mallala. the torque seems to put me through the corner nicely and then the boost comes on just when i'm out causing very little slideage.

nope!

took my car out for its first track day on the weekend and after my first session i found quite a bit of oil in the engine bay from my catch can. i have a stock built rb30 with rb25de head (non vvt) with rb20 oil pump and no restrictors. My catch can had a filter on top and 4 1/4" holes so i thought it was building pressure causing the oil to shoot out so i added 4 more holes and made them all bigger which helped but i was still getting probably close to 200ml of oil in the catch can after every 15 min session. Is there any way of fixing this without chucking the restrictors in the block? also incase it makes a difference the catch can is running off the two outlets on the cam covers. Cheers!

ye your right, they're not officially timed but one of my mates timed for me!

well i had a ball and am now addicted. Finished up with a best time of 1.31 (street tires and stock brakes) not sure if thats any good but a few people i spoke to on the day said it wasn't bad for my first time out there. My brakes were fine and didn't get any brake fade and still had some meat left on the pads at the end of the day. Tires still have a bit of tread left and didn't chew up like i'd heard would happen. I'll wait a couple of months now til the next one and go out with a few people from here (don't be soft peoples), hopefully by then i'll have my brakes, oil cooler and slicks. Think my temp reached a max of 112degrees which isn't too bad. Oh and the costs have gone up too! $100 for the day and $25 for the day cams licence but it was still well worth it. Good to meet you 9krpm!

my motor is a clearance motor and has a static comp ratio of about 8.3:1

this would be why sean rang me to get your number joel. spewing but i'll be there whenever it is.

where you get these pads from and have u got a part number? Cheers Showza!

Cheers for all the replies guys. I do hear what people are saying about the brakes and oil cooler but here is my reasoning for not doing it yet. First and foremost i ran out of time as its this saturday. My brake pads still have plenty of meat and i figure seeing as its only practice sessions i don't have to be going flat out the whole time and therefore if i start to get brake fade i can just slow down. the oil cooler is really the same, i said to myself if it was going to be mid 30's or higher i wouldn't go out but its predicting 30 at the moment which i figure isn't too bad and my car should be able to stand up. i've got a car trailer incase it doesn't and i figure that by not having my oil cooler, better brakes, better tires and camber arms that by the time the next track day comes around i will have all my mods done and will be used to the track/corners and the next one i will be able to go harder and see improvement from the mods done to my car. This track day for me is basically just a suck it and see. Cheers!

I'm heading out to my first circuit practice this weekend and i'm after a bit of advice. I have an r32gtst with an rb30 twin cam making 254rwkw's @ 14psi. The important things to note for the track is: i have an aftermarket radiator no oil cooler (purchasing one soon) good street tires (getting semi slicks soon) catch can made by myself (fully sealed with a little filter on top and x4 1/8th holes) standard 4 spot brakes (am upgrading discs, fluid and pads after the track day) will do 1 hard and 1 cool down lap i have a helmet, fire extinguisher and appropriate clothing the car is being towed, not driven A few bits of info i'm after is: -i sometimes get oil leakage around my catch can, is this because the catch can is under so much pressure that its venting (note that i'm not getting heaps of oil in my catch can, 100ml max) should i drill some more holes to stop this? -what tire pressure is recommended? -due to the fact that i don't have an oil cooler or an oil temp guage is there a stock -i have heaps of tools, what are the things i should make sure i take? -i've heard you should put more oil in than normal but how much more? Cheers!

haha, if nothing goes wrong. I've installed my race seat, haven't got an oil cooler yet, i'm still on stock brakes that haven't been changed in a while but i have done a coolant and oil change recently atleast. i tried looking on the malalla.com site but it doesn't seem to be working. As its my first one i'm not entirely sure what to do. I think i've read it starts at 10 and goes til 5, and scrutineering is from 8-10. Will it matter if i'm a bit late to scrutineering as i reckon it will take me close to two hours from my house towing. What are some things i should take? I've got things like sockets, spanners, screwdrivers, jacks etc but is there anything else i may not be thinking of?

woo hoo, got a car trailer and temps are looking like low 30's so i'll be out there, first track day and i'm so nervous and pumped at the same time. can't wait! Anyone else heading out i'll be in the silver 32 gts-t with gold/bronze rims!

bump!

nnnoooooooooo

saw your old 34 in strathfield at noarlunga but minus the vinyls, was the only car i liked with vinyls too!

let me know if this goes ahead soon as i'd be very keen and very soon!

no need to organise anything showza, just anyone reading this and planning on heading out just show your interest!

thought i'd give this thread a bump as i now have my new gearbox and clutch in so i want to head out, really should get brakes and oil cooler first but i figure they can wait til the next one. I'll be there as long as i can get ahold of my mates car trailer and its not over about 32-33 degrees. Salad - Will you be heading out? Maybe change the thread title to get a bit more interst, hehe!

looks good but u still need things like sandwich plate etc!
