No Crust Racing

What did you make that splitter out of?

No idea, I've done 1000ks in the car in 18mths. I just noticed that on a few WOT changes between 2nd and 3rd that 3rd was hard to engage and on a couple of occasions it popped out of gear. Award told me it will need Synchros and a 3-4 hub and sleeve to remedy those issues and also to try a better trans mount and fluid (which helped). I'm also known for being a bit picky with that sort of stuff so by other peoples standards it might be "fine". The clutch could also be a component of the engagement issue as heat seems to be a factor.

Awaiting confirmation that they've finished the 3rd/4th hub and sleeve. All reviews of the business, the product, and the service looked good.

They call me the postman, because I always deliver... https://expirebox.com/download/a700385dce0e228b3426cb2b28ae741a.html Diagnostic csv from a quick run down the highway and back today. Only 2MB, file expires in 48hrs.

Ohh lol yes. Yeah could be done cheaper quite easily. Brackets are nice though.

?

Lol sellers gonna sell.. It has ferodo pads and 2 piece rotors up front. This was just about getting nice red calipers and a rotor size bump as part of that process.

Just spoke to another local tuner and showed him those snaps and he said the same thing about it being unusual but could be fine depending on the rest of the setup. He's happy to have a look at my log after I get one. Will go from there.

Yep, a quality seat made such a huge difference to the driving experience. Hell it isn't even that special a seat, just a run out model Velo Podium, the first ugly one, not the sexy version 2 lol

Not sure without going doing specific diagnostic runs. I've got a mate coming over tomorrow who will want to go for a spin so can take the laptop and upload a trace then. That said i think we established that my economy was about the same as others here. I have a trace from winton but the car had a phat boost leak.

It's amazing what a difference some things can make. Nismo mounts made a much bigger difference than I expected in the 34. I'm the Silvia I've always said the seat was the single best mod I've done on it.

Your turn to post a screen shot then.

Now that's good service.

I can open up the tune and look if anyone knows where to look specifically in ECU manager.

Ordered new rear bushes and some brake fluid. Went with this, should be good enough for me. http://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/fbz100-ferodo-dot-5-1-high-performance-brake-fluid-1l.html

I've tried to address roll centre by increasing ride height a little as well as fitting 25mm roll centre adjusters on the ront (as they came with the R32 LCAs, Thanks Brisby!) and by flat mounting the rear subframe to the chassis, which raises it up and helps correct geometry, I did put some slip in spacers in the front of the subframe to angle it down as per Whitelines recommendation to alter the anti squat geometry. Just grabbed some front end links also, Hard Race ones should be fine for a budget option, they seem to review OK.

Grabbed the 4 bar Motorsport sensor. Was only $10 more than the 3 bar and I'll never have to think about it again. I spoke with Haltech and the Motorsport sensor is a Motorola unit and uses a newer more standard plug, apparently the GM ones were dying too often. Will install that before it goes in for Cams etc so we'll know exactly what's going on.

Will keep that in mind for longer cruises.

Interesting. I've just been putting straight United Race Blend in it, though I notice the sensor never reads above 80% despite my testing showing 90+ with the basic water/shake in tube tester.

Haha, no, but It's not out of the question, I just try to see what I can do without just buying top shelf everything. It's a challenge and I learn more along the way. The money I don't spend on this gets spent on the GTR. I think the Silvia could be pretty impressive if I'd spent the GTRs budget on this lol but then I wouldn't have a nice street car, so it's all compromises. Camber bolts in, instructions said bottom bolt for motorsport applications so that's where they went. Dialed for max camber straight up so I can check wheel to shock clearance when it's on the ground. Removed rear saybar and semi fitted S14 stocker, big difference. Only have endlinks connected as I didn't want to re-use my old D bushes so will get some new ones today. After that it wil be time for a decent brake bleed then off to exhaust fabricator to get hangars adjusted/mid muffler removed. Any chance any has one of those AP Engineering CA18 PowerFCs Otherwise, contemplating getting Nistune also just to maximise the midrange and add some safety. At the moment it has one of those stage 2 base map EPROMS in the standard ECU (Horsham Development) then SAFC and SITC to trim that up. Powerwise it makes about what every other Nistuned CA makes with this turbo and drives fine, but I imagine there's some midrange gains to be made plus some extra safety and response to knock would be good. Fabricator is also a tuner so could get both done at the same time.

Hah, yep, and in that time we've had a second baby and I've spent 18mths on the 34. Little Miss will be 1 in May and the bulk of the stuff I wanted to do on the 34 is done now so the Slowvia can get some love again

Works better with a functioning car

Josh was adament about using stock bars only, but did say if I really wanted to do swaybars, only do the front. So we'll go with that for the next outing and see what happens. Tyres are already toast so might as well do some testing and not have to worry about chewing up expensive rubber.

Yeah I know, I may just end up with stock bars and new bushes and links yet. Front bar is whiteline adjustable, I think they're 27mm? It's on the softest setting. Waiting on GKtech to advise when their end links are back in stock as their gear tends to be fine and well priced. Any issuses with Hard Race items? These arrived.
