are you serious??? can you get out of it?

man this sucks, everyone is dropping out. Mick has pulled out, due to money reasons, but im trying to help him with that. R3sp3ct is out and now Terminal is out too!

well on the bright side, it means less mobile chicanes on the circuit for me!!!

Mate i tried everything to get out of it, and the only answer i got from my missus was tears and yelling.... so i don't think i can get out of it.

Just a quick question...Would having my rear suspension lower than the front cause me to under steer?? and what would happen if the front was lower than the rear?

The reason i ask is coz when going through a corner a little quick its feels like the front is a little lose and i think its coz my rear is lower than the front causing it to take weight off the front.

Edited by R3sp3ct

Weight should be the same, due to gravity only acting one way, down. It could be center of mass being different. Anyways, normally when you come into a corner, you normally brake or slow down and the weight shifts to the front anyways. Or is your rear suspension really saggy and does your front end lift off the ground when you accellerate out of a corner?

You could check your toe and tyres. Why is your front higher than rear?

Why is your front higher than rear?

I was playing with my rear coilovers coz i dont need a C spanner to adjust them but the fronts are to hard so their still and the top setting. I havent had time to put the rear back to make it level...im lowering the front for saturday anyway so might leave the rear.

Well ive got Lukes wheels on the rear and it looks f**king awesome, only problem is i think one of my shocks is leaking but i dont give a f**k im going tomorrow.

Pretty much ready just got to get food and water ready...anyone else know of any essentials besides all the car necessities?

Sure is...

For those who are coming have a read of this... http://wakefieldpark.com.au/index.cfm?page...718097776edoras

I know we'll hear it all tomorrow but still a little bit of study to make our day as safe and fun as we can :)

EDIT: Just checked the weather and its "meant" to be 14 tomorrow so engines will be a little more happy

What a bloody awesome day!!! everyone had a great time and did really well. i must say, i didn't know that lee was such a good rally driver! he spent more time in the dirt than on the track!!!

HA HA! jks... but i was impressed when you tried to take a shortcut at turn 1!!! and poor old r3sp3ct, 1st lap out he hit a rabbit on the main straight doing 100kph+! smashed his bar up good. bad luck mate...

we got some great pics too, so FoX, feel free to post em up... all in all, a good day was had by all. looking forward to the next one now. 8th Nov, SAU-VIC vs SAU-NSW! bring it on....

haha i only went off twice and one didnt really count as it was like 2 seconds on the dirt then back on... the second one yea that was a bit of cross country just lucky that it was all flat and the part i went off linked up back on the course... note to self when braking from 175+km's with a corner coming up fairly quickly get setup a little earlier and stop paying attention to luke who is bearing down on your ass haha

As said it was a great day appart from the rabbit incident and for anyone who has not done it i highly suggest it some of the best fun you can have legally in your car. thanks to all who came along including andrew (superfly) who came up with us in the moring for a look and then mick and steve who came up later on.

Oh forgot to mention there was a shit load of evo's there too an unreal blue evo 9, a nice yellow 8 and that silver one was also insane

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
