Engine wise - R34 RB26 with steel wheelled low mounts, believed to be N1 or group A spec but haven't chased up the actual kind, just made sure they were the large cartridge/steel wheel variety for the boost I run (1.5 bar)

The usual fuel system upgrades (pump, 700cc injectors, sard reg), ARC oil cooler and IC, blitz intake pods + hard IC piping kit, APEXI radiator (currently in the process of being replaced), PWR FC D jetro with last dyno at Willalls (340rwkws, 1.3 bar) although on the track I run a 20% toluene/boost 98 mix, 1.5bar and 3 to 4 degrees extra timing so whatever that gives me (seat of the pants dyno=quicker :-) )

Gearbox = stock, OS giken twin plate, ATS 1.5 LSD in the rear

Chassis - all joints rose jointed, extra body bracing through the engine bay with tomei strut / body brace, chassis rails all expander foam filled, 4 point cage

coil overs, track wheel alignment setup (although I haven't been to the Lala with the new setup)

AP 330mm brakes up front, std rear albeit with braided lines + nismo pads in the back

Tyres - at this stage still running the ADVAN street tyres (trust me - its a bloody handful on the track!) but I will be getting some semi's early next year.

Managed a 36.66 up collingrove last Sunday on the first (and only) timed run before the event was rained out.

Mallala is a braking track - so brute horsepower isn't a huge neccessity. Good cornering / brakes will help you along in leaps and bounds before you try taking more grunt to the track. Also tyre pressure / wheel alignment is a huge help, although it is obviously a little impractical to run 3 deg camber and 6-7 castor on an everyday streeter.

All that and still on street tyres!? >_<

Me thinks you're lap time are gonna plummet when you get some good semis :(

Been a while - any updates? Just got a bunch of new bits for the beast and once installed keen to give 'em a testing.......

I am keen for an update as well :(

My 32 is in Adelaide atm and will probably be heading up north again mid Jan. It will be awesome if you can organise a track day before that? I will be in Adelaide on the 13th of Jan, is it any good for a friendly track day :/?

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers
    • FD is so sexy she can pull off tri-spokes
    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
