Welcome mate. And S1RWDFTW

AS BIG AS YOU CAN FIT UNDER THE GUARDS WITHOUT RUBBING OR HITTING ANYTHING. Rubber = grip so the more rubber you got the less understeer, more traction you have, My RWD boat runs on 265/40 17 all round on a 10" rim on track days, it has helped dial out some understeer and helps with traction, you can do this by playing with you suspension but for a street car that sees the track now and then you cannot beat size for a quick fix. My street tyres are 245/45 17 on the stock R34 rim (17 x 7.5) Also only use good quality HiPo tyres (Semis Formula R), cheaper tyres will go of really quick and youll just slide around destroying them.

Its got baffles behind the vents. They think its possessed by demons from hell, going to try running slightly less oil, mucking around with the catch can and hoses, maybe redirecting some oil from the pump straight back to the sump, and if none of that works a scavenger pump may be the next option. All this for a daily driver / occasional weekend track day car I do need to win LOTTO right about now. Marks prayer, "Dear JEBUS let me win LOTTO and Ill shout the boys a free track day, AMENS" Stupid oil doing stupid stuff, FFS, how hard is it..............................

The only thing that gets ironed of mine is my stupid work clothes, unless we are going out and the missus makes me take my shirt off to iron it so I dont look like a bum. I do needs some new T shirts, long and short sleeve, with good print jobs, my 2009 superlap T shirts are still good where as my 2010 ones have lost 75% of the print and became oil rags. I vote no to zippers on hoddies, the zipper end bit always scratches stuff.

Thanks mate.

My new engine is the devil, 25/30 with 1 mm restrictors, opened up drains, return lines from the back of the head, catch can with return line, Tomei pump, bigger sump with windage tray. Every track day the catch can fills with oil and sprays everywhere, the pump has been adjusted to lower pressure, extra drains in the top of the covers, its slightly less than it was but still spat 2 ltrs after 3 warm up laps and 1 hot lap. Im going mad with this. Sump holds about 7 ltrs of oil and dip stick reading is at the top of the hatching when I go out and it was half way down it after the 4 laps. Comp is good as is leak down. Limited to 7200, balanced, 18 lb 310kw. Is my only other option a scavenger pump from the head to the sump ???? 1. Have we missed something in the build. 2.To much oil in the sump causing trouble. 3. Needs scavenger Pump. Any ideas are most welcome. Stevo if you see this whats your pump and stuff, Ill be PM you about it anyway if you dont see this thread. Some pics.

Monday Flat Bench 10 x 10 - 5 km walk Tuesday Body Weight Heaves or Pull Downs 10 x 10 Wendsday Squats 10 x 10 - 5 km walk Thursday Shoulder Press 10 x 10 Friday Dead Lift 10 x 10 - 5 km walk Sat 5 km walk with max push ups and max sit ups every 1 km. Sunday Sleep Use enough weight so the last set only gets 6-8 reps, when you can do all 10 x 10 go up 2.5 - 5kg You do not need to do curls or tri ext or any other pretty boy exercises, you need power exersises to make your whole body strong so when someone attacks you you can 1 take the hit, then, 2 pick them up and break them on the ground. This is what I used when I first started training, 1985, I ate alot of heathy foods 6 times a day and the only supps I took was a Multi Vit, Protien drinks consisted of skim milk powder and chocolate syryp, drink lots of water and skim milk, always carry a water bottle with you, tupperware is your friend, pack food. Dont eat sh it, you are what you eat, if you eat fat burgers you will be fat burgers, but dont be so stict that your bored with your food, protien protien protien, any food that has alot of protien is good, as well as food with iron, dont eat to many carbs, after training is OK for some carbs but not always, listen to your body, it will tell you what you need, if you feel tired have some more carbs Sleep a minimum of 8 hrs a night and nap if you can, every hour past midnight your awake add 1 more hour to the 8. I went from 65 kg to about 80 kg in 6 months, and lots of strength. 30 yrs on though, Im 85kg but not so much muscle, more so fat, LOL.

As requested

Dont borrow money or sell houses to buy cars, house-property yes, cars no, its not like you could sell it for no loss, every year older means money lost, how much are you going to pay. R35 GTRs are nice but unless I had alot of liquid cash to spare to pay for it outright and for insurance and servicing I wouldnt touch it. Keep buying property, make some good $$$$$$$$$$$, then later on buy one, or something better. If you donot live beyond your means you could have a live a long and happy life and with some good investments buy what you like later in life. If you live beyond your means, well, look at what happens to countrys like America that are full of the "I want it now" type people, broke, familys in trouble, divorce, dont say "it wont happen to me" because thats what everyone says just before bankruptcy. Also the you only live once phylosophy is fine if your going to die soon, but if you plan on living to watch your grandkids grow old, it doesnt hold much weight. Mark

"god your got big boobies" I was drunk, she is now my missus, LOL.

Pod filter = useless mod, if your stock IC piping will allow the use of the stock air box use it, I do recommend modifying it so it has a cold air intake and a larger route for the in coming air, Google "modify standard air box" and "cold air intake' for some easy DIY projects.

Says nothing about being stock The Tyres must be DOT and ADR approved. All OEM Tyres (This includes the factory RE070 supplied by Subaru for the STI's) The tyre tread wear rating must be 140 or above.CHECK The exhaust must be rear exiting with no screamer pipes.CHECK The car must be road registered.CHECK engineered Must have OEM glass.CHECK Must have OEM doors.CHECK Must have OEM full dash.CHECK Must have all seats in the vehicle. (aftermarket seats allowed) ADR approved front seats (R34GTR) Must have full interior in the car. Not allowed to be stripped out. ??? you need to remove rear seats/belts for engineering compliance Must not have in cabin adjustable brake bias or pedal box.CHECK By this I could have a modified vehicle as long as it fits in the above, my reasoning is that my car is registered and enginneered but does have a roll cage for extra safety, hence removal of the rear seats. Come to Sydney and Ill have a go at it of course but I feel the rules have got some holes that could be looked at, ie harness use without cage? safety?. Wish I could be there for this it sounds awesome. Mark.

For the buyer it is.

Power to weight, the 1500 odd kg of the 33 34 with a power of 120 kw ??? vs a 1200 odd kg S with 100 ??? kw, not sure of correct specs but you get the idea, the lighter car will accelerate faster and stop quicker due to the less weight its carrying as long as the power to weight ratio is higher. Another car to consider is the Mazda MX5, not the most powerfully car but a tight chassis which handles like its on rails, make sure to get a hard lid though.

Be safe with it mate and enjoy. Remember that speed doesn't kill, its the sudden stop that does it.

You have done your best to inform them, if they don't check their emails or check on here its their own fault. I so wish this was on still, my car is needing R & D at prolonged high RPM to sort out some issues, a track or strip is really the only safe place for it to happen.

Wish they were in Sydney, I would snap them up.

Email needs to be sent out I'm guessing.
