Had a great day, cant wait to get my set up correct and new front tyres,bucket seat, brakes, boost, then i should be right lol. I was really happy that the newish STI and one of the evo's couldn't over take me on the straight, the corners well i wont mention how i was through them.

As for that f**kING rabbit.......suck shit that it got f**ked up and the birds ate it for the rest of the day, little peice of shit!!!

Anyway...had an awesome time and cant wait till im ready for the next one :rofl:

BTW, thanks for the helps taking the bar off and putting it back on guys, had my own pit crew :laugh:

actually i think i may have snapped one of my exhuast bolts again. my car is making a funny high pitched squeal when its on boost, but it hasn't lost anyway performance. i'll have it checked out next week...

the only decent damage done on the day i think was to one of the yellow evo's which ripped a tyre of his rim and scratched it up pretty bad. It was also making some strange noises after that almost as though he had warped a disc and his pads were rubbing and this is when he was just driving.

Woot i was the only one not to do any damage hehe :D

Well my front bar is farked, and i've snapped my air con fan i think thats what its called which is rubbing on the back of my FMIC. Also my brakes are screwed, I'm contemplating whether or not i should get GTR brakes??

EDIT: Here is how i drove for the rest of the day.

Sorry about the file being to big, i tried to make it smaller.

sorry to hear about the air con fan as well :D it did look like a tough drift pig though hehe :) from the little i know about the brakes unless you are after really big stopping power the standard 33 gts-t calipers should be fine just upgrade to slotted rotors and better pads/fluid. If they won't cut it and you have some money get the Brembo's from an R34 GTR mmm nice and big.

Maybe even these 8 pot's

Well after going for a ride with luke i could not believe how good he stopped, if i hit my brakes as hard as he did i'd lock them up.....as seen on the first lap :D.

I'm thinking some massive slotted brakes would be awesome and thats why i think my car will be off the road for a while coz im going to save up for all these parts so next meeting ill be a little more competative.

haha going to track is very bad it makes us all go hmm

but what if i just had

8 pot calipers on the front and some decent 4 pots on the rear

slotted rotors

performance pads

adjustable coilovers

better sway bars

strut braces

etc etc etc

the list goes on. But if you have the $$$ all the best to you. you have a good amount of power as demonstrated get the braking and handeling sorted you will be out there with that blue evo 9 :D

i would imagine the gtr would beat it however driver does play a big part as demonstrated on the weekend...

Luke = good drive

Leigh = average driver

Keep in mind though the AWD will be a major help in maintaining traction and as such better times

Leigh = average driver? Dont blow your on whistle leigh, we all know you think youre god :)

GTR isnt really suited to Wakefield, it loses alot of its competitive edge due to the layout of the circuit. Its a short (low speed) circuit so the lower weight of the gtst gives it an advantage. But if you want a car that goes really quick around Wakefield, buy an Evo.

The 32 GTR isn't heavier then the R33 GTST is it?

The reason i asked was im going to want a car that will get me the best traction/handling/speed. I think my car has the mods to do that i just need front wheels and brakes and my times should improve a fair bit.

It depends on what you really want do your research and find out whats the difference between the two....Im into drifting so the gtst was a natural choice (plus i was poor) I just recon that the gtst doesnt get a good enough rep, awsome rwd car, can hold its own when modded properly - the love of my life

The 32 GTR isn't heavier then the R33 GTST is it?

Its a good 100kg or so heavier... and alot of that weight is at the wrong end of the car :(

The GTR is a big car. Get it on a fast flowing track and it will show what it was made for. Get it on a low speed tight track and the results arent that great.

Well i did manage an unoffical time of 1.18.76 and a 1.19.00 with no suspensions mods, road tyres and not much power. The dodgy thing was i could only do a couple of hard laps before my tyres turned to gooo and i had to cool em down... Luke was getting 1.13's i think for most of the day not sure about Steve

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
