we ran out of time - we had it on the dyno and had to add fuel everywhere - but initially found differences of 30 odd rwkw lower because of it wheelspinning on the dyno - with almost 100L water in boot + 2 people, plus 1 person either side holding chocks on front wheels it still tried to jump off the dyno (twice)... but ended up netting same result of 262 with cam gears set at 0.

due to adding fuel in throughout the tune - gives me the impression it's making more power - just cant get it to the rollers.

Once we get more time / get around to it - will get it all strapped in properly and spend the time tuning it with adjustments to cam gears.

on another note - made some more changes. to some things

- new steering rack boots (checked s14 rack is not leaking yay)

- tension bar to rear cradle / toe arms

- locking washers all fited

- cradle angle changed by adding pinapples

- diff angle changed

cheers

it's been a while... so just a quick update - a few new bits have been ordered / fitted... will post pics when they're done.

I have a bar welded in between castor rod brackets.

Carbon Fibre GT wing fitted.

Supernow rack spacer - on it's way

326 power modified knuckles - currently being done

bolt on flares - on their way

bolt on spacers x4 - yet to be fitted

Also had a little bit of a bingle at mallala, but all fixed and painted, it was just fibreglass mainly.

G1 rd 2 is this weekend so should have some good action shots :D

Hey Matt,

Just saw your pics of the black 99 stag with the R34 GTR wheels nice car. Is it a RS or a RS4? Auto or Man?

I only ask cause i have the same car with the std wheels and have been looking into getting a set of the same wheels for it. Any problems with skrubbing? What is your Centre of wheel to guard height?

Does it toe the car ok? I have been thinking how they would go towing a larger car, I have a R33 GTST track car that i have to toe around with my dads 4WD.

Sorry for the 20 questions.

PS: Nice drifter.

Cheers,

Ryan

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
