Wakefield 15th April


Recommended Posts

you running on the track MIVEC?

i've got a couple of the SAU guys coming up for a look. i like the idea of meeting at the Shell Servo at EPIC at 7am for all those on SAU that are coming.

Glen, if its easier, i can meet you at the track if your guys are going the back way. i'd prefer to go up the highway with the new coilovers....

I reckon I'll get out there for a few laps, but not all day like I did with the FTO. Would be nice to learn the exact point where my tail end breaks loose when cornering.

well i hope its not raining tomorrow. i'll still go if it is. my semi-slicks are surprising good in the wet. i mean, they are awesome. was trying to get them to understeer and oversteer, and struggled to do both. wow! anyway, hope to see you all tomorrow......

i think as long as it complies to the safety regulations of Aus roads and has a little red and silver sticker on the side, it should be fine. im using an open face helmet......

well that was just awesome! shame everybody else missed out. am glad i spent my money on the suspension and brakes and not on the motor! was good to see so many other cars on the circuit too.

Glen, nice to meet you mate. i'll be trying even harder to keep up with you next time..... :bunny:

MIVEC rocked up late. supadan was the only other skyline at the meeting place on time. but was a good day had by all. got some good footage and pics too. Mark, feel free to post em up.....

Was good to meet alot of you again. Luke you were doing bloody well for a first timer. Your times will drop quickly as you get more laps under you. I was very impressed!

Doing the suspension and brakes definately is the way to go first. Horsepower isn't a real requirement at the track.

Would love to see some of the footage! Unfortunately I am selling the S15 so probably won't be out at the track in it again. :P Will definately be going out with the rest of the fellas though and will bring my race car when it eventually gets built (at least a year or so off).

Was a top day and good to meet and catch up with you all!

    • Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.
    • I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it
    • I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play. 
    • Oh for sure, I'm just recounting my thoughts 😎 I'm not what you've got there to fuzt with.... likely my first idea was on the money -- rebuild or replace connectors. You can get a lot of connector stuff here  -> https://www.rapidcables.com.au/ Didn't look in the boot of mine, because I replaced these when I renewed the pump (plastic of connectors had gone brittle) edit: what I used... https://www.efihardware.com/products/2120/Deutsch-DTM-Connector-Kit-6-Pin ...cheaper... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364900039138
    • In no way was i suggesting it’s your fault mate. The trailer cable has a plug that I removed. I will have a closer look, but I did remove the trailer wiring cable with the tow ball as I don’t need it on my silo. i have replaced the fuel pump already there’s no need to remove the cradle again I can see the wire colours from it in.
