Super nice rides, here's mine. R32 for life yo! Yup, that's an engine damper, it's on the right side too of-course And 18inch LMGT-4's on there. About the rear brake light up top, it came on the car, compliance would have done it as it's a "HELLA" light which I assume is an Australian brand? Where else does everyone have their rear mid-mount lights? I want to take this top light off actually as it's just not JDM! (yes laugh as much as you like but I'm a JDM fanboy).

Can I Mount My 4 Point Harness Like This?
justinfox replied to abcent's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
LOL Richard, man thanks for typing it out twice for me ahahahaha. That L shaped bracket, you did say "buy it" from somewhere. Where? Maybe Revolution Racegear? Um, who else would have one? I suppose I can get the boys at Westside Mufflers to make it up for me. And I whimped out of the hardcore Bride with head restraints lol and settled for an FIA approved Bride Zeta3 with black logograph. Super tight at the bottom, not so tight at the top but AOK. -
Can I Mount My 4 Point Harness Like This?
justinfox replied to abcent's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
Just got a bucket seat in the R32 GT-R. How the hell do I mount the left waist belt? Next to the console?! Any help appreciated. I hope there's a bracket, or something I can buy from a race shop, without having to do something "custom". -
Hey all, Sorry to the guys that PM'ed me about these. I thought I had sold them, still got them! Stock R32 GT-R bovs, they're in perfect working condition, no pics sorry. $250 (for both) pick-up only. To make it easy for everyone I've left them with my mate Zi. He's above Westside Mufflers just off the M5: JDMYARD Unit 1/13 Watson Road Padstow NSW 2211 Sydney AUSTRALIA

Update: 1st Track Day With New Suspension Set-up
justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
morlock: Man long time LONG TIME no speak! Good to hear from you, and that you're really into still! Roy: I had an Alfa 147 when they 1st came out, it was perhaps the only on in Sydney at the time that had wheels, coilovers, tuned etc. A guy came up to me on the street, literally one day and invited me to a Burrows Day Gave me his card and I've been going ever since (in my Alfa, GT-R and MX-5). Nothing quite like overtaking Ferarri's and GT3's on Eastern Creek's straight in the GT-R That's for sure, it's gold!!! -

Update: 1st Track Day With New Suspension Set-up
justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
I've lowered the front 10mm since this picture (see below) but I am just going to drop the back 10mm now to even it all up. I'm also running on the thin side at 235's. Will go fatter next time. At least 245's. -
Update: 1st Track Day With New Suspension Set-up
justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
djr81: Thanks for that info, fantastic. Will try it step by step. So far I just let Doug at Heasmans set it all up for me, he's done my wheel alignment a fair few times before, and did it just recently once I got all the new adjustable gear on. Ride height is wrong though, when the GT-R is balanced, the gap between the tyre and the guard is greater at the front than it is at the rear. Me being the designer/fool I am I wanted it to LOOK great by having the front a little lower than the rear for that mean stance. Anyways, silly really... I'll be sure to raise the front up a little more so the car's balanced again. Then I have to get ANOTHER wheel alignment done again damn... maybe I'll just lower the rear 10mm lol. Done. -

justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
Right, the kit I got was NOT SK's kit. It was direct from Whiteline. And I also have Whiteline's tech guy who designs their products test it around his Minto "test track". He came back with a grin on his face and said "nice car" lol. -

justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
No I don't think you're being negative at all dude. It's information like this that helps people to make decisions. My experience has been a little different though. The Tein SS's I have in my MX-5 are way too soft (in comparisson to the super crashy Bilsteins I had in there). I replaced the springs in the coilovers with stiffer Swift springs and even then I have to have the coilovers on their absolute hardest damper setting to get the suspension just right. I leave it like that for daily driving too, bump but not at all crashy. They are called "Super Streets" for a reason I suppose. The Tein's on the GT-R are much more complient than the Whiteline set-up I had. It actually absorbs the bumps well where I found the Whiteline set-up actually making me bounce off some bumps on the street especially. For example, there's a corner near my house that's got a bump right on the apex of it. If I went through that corner at 45-50km/hr in the GT-R I literally almost get airborne! Not so in the Teins... then again my Teins are set up too soft I feel. But, yes, the Whiteline set-up felt very complient on the race track, there was a small amount of body roll, it made for a very forgiving ride and you could really feel the tail coming out when you pushed it a little harder in corners. I just thought it was totally wrong on Sydney roads. Anyways, the Whiteline kit's gone now. Teins are on and yes, it's a bit of a daunting task ahead! I hope I can find the right settings. -
Just thought I'd write a little update/review on my new suspension set-up. I went to a Circuit Club day at Wakefield a couple of months ago, forgot to write a review up so here it is now. New engine, not dyno tuned. Just road tuned. I had 2530's in the car, very very laggy, so much so I couldn't get the tail out at all, just no power at low/mid rpm's. I initially had the complete Whiteline works package in my R32 GT-R. And took it all out for Tein RA coilovers as well as Cusco front and rear swaybars. With the coilovers on the middle setting all I got was understeer. Complient in comparisson to the Whiteline package on the road to Wakefield and back, and also on Wakefields bumpy track surface but now I have to really spend some time to get the suspension set-up right and it's a pretty daunting task for a newb like myself. Anyways, it's made me realise that although I didn't like the Whiteline set-up's rough and crashy ride, it sure was set-up better than my current set-up! Here are the one hot lap time attack times from the day: http://temp.australianinfront.com.au/skyli...st-25-04-06.htm I'm looking forward to setting up the car properly, both the engine (I just took out the 2530's and regressed to GT-SS's now + cams + camber/castor kit too) and the suspension. Nothing quite like a track day to make you realise what you have to sort out on your car huh?!

Pair Of Hks 2530's
justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Sorry, I am in Sydney. Turbos are currently in Padstow just 5 minutes from GCG. So happy yo meet up in Padstow, then go to GCG for a live inspection/approval. PS: No receipt for the rebuild! I can't find it (I've turned the house absolutely upside down looking for it, no luck). Both turbos have been stamped though, with a metal GCG plate with numbers on it which must correspond to GCG's files? I am not sure, but Mark knows the turbos and remembers me and my ripped off on SAU story so all good.
