    Got the guage all installed, not a bad bit of gear. Not quite as much customisation as I'd like but plenty good enough. All sensors went straight into existing ports, Wideband works without issue using the output from the AEM UEGO. Had to extend the warning light wiring to put it in a useful spot, also wired in an extension for that loom so I have a 5v trigger in the engine bay now, I'm planning on using that to trip a sensor of some sort to put the ecu into limp mode (once I have all the warnings configured correctly). That way I'll get visual/audible warning and some level of engine protection. Takes a little time to get your head around navigating how to configure it (buttons on the screen + hand unit + combos of short long press on each depending on what you want to do), but once sorted it's pretty easy to work. Speed pulses needed to be changed on my setup, from the default of 4 down to 2 for the digital speed to read correctly. Will give it a good test at Winton. SAFC is now full time knock guage. Either coincidence or somehow shorted out, but nothing else had any issues, the EBC controller died, but I can use this gauge as my boost guage anyway. Solenoid still works but will need a new controller or an ECU with boost control down the track.

    Not quite. Decently powerful CA is also going to shit the box so Z32 or RB25 is expected either way, diff we'll wait and see. Faster car regardless of engine warrants bigger brakes and better tyres (so larger rims and 5 stud swap). Those things happen either way. An engine build, CA or SR is actually around the same money using the same basic forged parts and new OEM things. Might as well go the newer, more torquey platform with better support. Thanks and bye

    Always happy to hear useful opinions etc, but Leeroy tends to offer little and complain that I'm asking the question. Not the first time. I just found the block/ignore function so we're good I get what you mean re interesting events. The car still needs a fresh motor either way and I'd like to go faster than I am. The time attack events aren't the only thing I'm keen on, I'd like to look at some enduros as well and whatever else is around, that was more context in terms of build style/speed required etc.

    I care as I'd like to enter those events and I can't enter them without adhering to the rules... Question isn't CA or not, CA is going, too hard to support with spares/performance bits. SR is much easier longer term and actually cheaper for spares and wrecker motors because you can find a working wrecker SR easily, CAs are all 29yrs old and f**ked. Not really, made the call to swap out the CA, too hard to support now. Sold all my CA performance parts/spare engine and bought an SR donor with the profit. Tossed up S Chassis vs Evo, made call to stay S Chassis. Tossed up R34/Euro, made the call to go with neither and stick with motorsport, sold the 34 and made bank. Wanted to do more interesting events and get the missus involved, Bought an AU to thrash - 2 events since buying it a few months ago, 1 of which she drove the whole day, was awesome. It's a car forum, if you don't like discussing cars f**k off? Yes I ask question =s and like to discuss shit, I also bring back results, share data and testing. If it's just my threads you don't like, again f**k off haha, nah, will keep the AU simple, means more events with less hassle. And Duncan, I've done 5 sprint rounds in the last 6 or so months, (and 2 AU events) so I'm getting seat time. Next event is the 6th.

    LOL you sound like you've been burnt before mate

    Fair point Duncan, but the current motor is a stock bottom 29yr old lump, she's getting tired and If I pull it out I might as well put something better in.
  7. No Crust Racing
    Yeah I know Peter's car, the red/blue/white one is faster Ls1 means ineligible for clubsprint classes for VTAC and WTAC. Also same question really, ls1, box, diff, brakes, or buy car with it all already done.

    Current car has full s15 rear end with reinforcement plates welded in. Solid subframe mounts, whole thing tucked up for better role centre geometry, angled for better anti squat. All adjustable front with roll centre and bump steer correction. The last s15 at our track was 2s slower on wider tyres (315s!) with more power 245 vs 185me). S13 chassis is heaps lighter remember. My interest in S14/15 isnt about it being a better chassis, it's that there's more of them "done" with fully built motors, RB25/z32 box swaps, good diffs and big brake kits. All things I need to step up. Lots of S13s are thrashed drift cars

    Lol I just mean I have used cable ties rather than buying custom billet brackets etc

    And that's always a risk, how well it's been done, but it would be unfair if me to judge others knowing I have been learning along the way. Keeping in mind the current car is already a dedicated track car, just low powered CA18, stock box, minor diff upgrade and skyline brakes all round. The next steps are all costly ones other than just doing a mild forged SR swap and leaving all else as is til it breaks.

    At a cross roads with the S13, I've done up a parts list for what I need/want to take the car to the next level and there's easily 15-20k in parts and labour for a built motor, box and diff swap to handle it, and brakes to slow it all down + misc bits. Then there's the time required to do all of those things as I always do the bits I can myself. For that money I could buy another S14/S15 track car with the vast majority of that already done (motor/box/diff at least), but with the risk of it not being done properly or being a time bomb - I have made the call to stick with S chassis/Nissan as I like the fun/challenge of RWD and it's a platform I know and can support. 33 or 34 could also be an option. The end goal would be VTAC/WTAC in Clubsprint + various other sprint type events, and maybe some enduros, and to be in the upper end of the field where possible. Time attack series means the cars must retain brand of engine/cylinder count from original chassis. How the hell do people make a call on how far to take the current platform vs knowing when to get into something else?

    Guys in the club using mediums without issue, though they can struggle in a top 10 shoot out (1x warm up, 1x hot lap only) but they are getting them second hand for $200 a set as they all run 18x10 on skylines or with heaps of guard work in anything else.

    Where to after AR1s? Better semis or slicks? I was thinking full slicks to handle the extra grunt from an engine swap end of this year, but my problem is space. I don't like the big 45-50mm flares so I only fitted 25-30mm and that looks perfect with a 9" rim 255 tyre and -3.5 front camber (don't have heaps of shock clearance left). To go wider would mean more "poke" so what would be the next step in better semis, and if slicks, I don't fully get slick sizing so help would be great

    EFRs are stupid expensive and this car has always been a budget build, though I will splash out a little on this motor. Plus, to be honest, I've always wanted an external gate/screamer setup for the noise/fun. I'm looking at a rotating assembly that's 8.5:1 at the moment, how far can I bump that with a head skim/thinner gasket/any other tricks? As I'd ;like the higher static comp to help spool the bigger turbo I'll end up with for the power goal.
  15. No Crust Racing
    Juicy
  16. No Crust Racing
    Come in T4 and Twin Scroll? What's response on it like?
  17. No Crust Racing
    and what if the goal was morel like 350? and it could go on a full Ts manifold and had a good head supporting it?
  18. No Crust Racing
    Nobody else seems to see 300 on the SS15, is it manifolds and cams making the difference?
  19. No Crust Racing
    Duty cycle/Gain (on the solenoid/EBC) How hard/fast you allow the turbo to reach target boost.
  20. No Crust Racing
    Yes wold def have it checked.
  21. No Crust Racing
    Odd the email i got for this post update had 10k in it? Missed a receipt did you lol Not looking to build a baller head, not need for my purpose.
  22. No Crust Racing
    Yeah, no.
  23. No Crust Racing
    It's only that the head is complete with all that gear in it already. Seemed like an odd combo, he's got a stroker kit there with that head, not sure on the crank brand, only that it's 92mm, billet, knife edged. Anything i could find was 91mm. Custom JE pistons, so it could be a very fun combo with a 30 frame on it. That whole collection of parts was very competitively priced.

    Also thoughts on Solid heads? Some parts I'm being offered includes a head. "tomei solid head, brand new rocker arms, tomei ras, tomei cam gears and 260 cams supertech dual valve springs, ti retainers, valve stem seals and 1mm oversized in/ex valves and ported and polished to suit" I like everything except the solid component as I worry about the maintance ongoing, but it's done only 2 dyno runs an is and is very cheap. Could swap out the cams and lifters for hydraulic? Or just learn how to check/adjust clearances on the reg?
  25. No Crust Racing
    Thoughts on parts from Goleby's? Their timing chain kit is half the prie of OEM, includes cam gears also. Their lifters, Nason Engine parts? $100 for a full set versus $800 or so for OEM. I will go with Ross race series or OEM for balancer, but some of this other stuff, is there much in it quality wise? Looking at either BC or PErformance Springs, both around the same price. Worth looking at tomei/other rocker arms?
