He's not wrong, because that time could be spent going faster! SMSP is a fun track, it's also very scary. You always have the fear of binning the car with next to no run off! Here's a lap with my mate driving the shit box, he hasn't driven it in about 5 years (since Wakefield days - had better tyres then, less power, however was lower and had softer springs).

Upgraded NEO Valve Springs
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Rand0b's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
They're used quite a bit, however Kelford springs and cam combo would be a no brainer. I went with this brand purely from a cost perspective on my last motor (not the 1st one) and carried them across onto the current motor. -

Those are the exact ones in my current shit box (now has a NEO motor). -

Definitely do valve springs, on my old non-NEO motor, with 1.7bar of boost I would get valve float (power went flat, sounded like a misfire). Current motor has Performance Springs springs & Ti retainers. Was about $200AUD more to get the retainers, so why not? Lol.. now I can tell @GTSBoy I have Ti retainers. -
relax bro, don't be so hard on yourself! At least you don't have Camry DNA in your bloodline, my ancestors passed on their Camry DNA to me.

And in car footage of the shit box, I believe I should be able to get it down into the flat 1m50s with more practice with these street tyres. My lines are still a bit shit and I'm wasting a bit too much time coasting about finding the grip limits. Once I can totally master the Hankook RS-4, I might move to a faster tyre like a Yokohama Advan A052.

Stiffer front springs did the trick, went 5s quicker and not to mention the track temps were quite low. Had to retire the car early too, destroyed the rear pads. Had about 30 to 40% at the start of the night and by the end of 3rd session, it was down to the backing plate 😂
-
lol... or that! Tonight I would say is my proper 3rd time out there, the last time I went out was with All Jap Day and both sessions didn't have a good crack at it. Then when the track was clear and I was doing a good hot lap they ended the session early!!!!!!!
-
Getting ready to take out the shit box to SMSP, filled up 3x jerry cans and car has E20 or so in it at the moment. Also noticed last time I was out there, during All Jap Day (useless day to try attempt PBs on the timed sessions, too many numpties in your race line) I tried to take T8 in 2nd and blazed the tyres, also because the throttle was a bit too sensitive so I've dumbed down the pedal to TB table. Should help make the TB less sensitive when I'm trying to negotiate a turn.

I set the front ARB to the softest setting, assuming the 3kg in rate jump would make it understeer. Find out tomorrow night I suppose then next post is, "I did a thing, and tube framed the front" lol.
-
Very good info! Funny enough, I just did that for my shitbox, with 0 aero. Has 13kg(f) and 7kg(r) in it now, after the advice MCA gave me. Going out tomorrow to test it out, either I go slower or faster right? lol. Btw... your engine bay is mental, can't fit turbo? cut tub lol.

NZ R33 Long Term Build
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to R3N3's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Not yet, a few things on my to do list, finding time/motivation is hard lol. I assuming this would need the brake input (also required for cruise), once I wire up the brake & clutch inputs I'll set it up as well. -
NZ R33 Long Term Build
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to R3N3's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
That's awesome! Yeah I saw your post, I suppose it's similar to closed loop boost control tuning. I haven't set mine up (ran out of inputs) so unable to provide any guidance. -
S15 Spec R
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to RP1421's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
I have a solution, just convert the lot to R33 GTS-t or R34 GT-t brakes. OEM+ -

Very sexual car, haven't seen one in years -
S15 Spec R
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to RP1421's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
With the S15 rear calipers, did you compress the piston to install the pads or did you wind them in? -

Very unique car, don't see many of them! The fuel lid and the silhouette gave it away 🙂 Yeah bro, swap the brakes around lol. -
