Hey BB can you do me a favour and weigh your rim for me please. Fairly accurately if possible. I have some 18x13 coming and I was wondering what they weighed. 19x12 should be close enough for my mind to mull over.

Giant-

I bought new brakes for my toy. Toyota Motorsport kit (TOM'S) 6 piston front, 4 piston rear :(

The tyre guys have been slack, but Im going over there next week so I'll knock on their door and wake em up.

For the R34 what size wheels are you wanting to use, and offset? I guess if AME are offering sponsorship it'll be silly not to accept but aren't they tiawanese or something?

off the top of my head it was 7.9kg on the airport check in scale. :D and it may be a 13" too. I'm not sure what the dude told me, it was either 19X12 or 19X13, but shouldn't make much difference either way. It's about the same weight as my enkei NT03s and my Weds TC05s which is very impressive as both those wheels are very light forged aluminium and are a measly 17X9 in size! bear in mind the GT centre lock wheel is forged magnesium and very thin, hence the light weight. I'd say a forged alloy wheel maybe 10kg or so for that size.

Thanks mate. Mine are forged magnesium too :) Ex-Super GT wheels.

cool, they will be the same then for sure. and cheap too second hand, just make sure they aren't damaged. They will look super cool. :P

Well, mine were very cheap indeed, $90pr...

I figure if they are straight, cool. If not, then they will make exotic hose reels in the workshop lol

In the mean-time I just bought myself a car for SuperLap/Time Attack/Temporary circuit duties.

Just have to wait for it to get here now. It'll be here well before the first Superlap day though so hopefully I'll be able to attend, though it won't be terribly fast, being a Nissan and all :)

The new event will be called Superlap

and will be run at Oran park

Thats great. OP is such a fun track. Only, i have only ever driven there twice in a basically std GTSt back in 2001 or 2002. LOL, so i will be in the same boat as all the Vic hacks with no real lay of the land knowledge. :P

And looking at that shopping list for the R34, i could be interested in the seats. I have given up trying to get a matching Momo seat for my car so need to get two new seats.

yep. 100% has to be the GP layout. i mean this is the last figure 8 tack we have and it's about to become extinct so we may as well use it while we still can. the south layout cuts out some of the coolest bits on the track, and it shortens the straight and removes the fastest corner which reduces the brown moments a bit.

If the event is popular enough, maybe at a later stage there could be a state based series.. but I suppose a once a year road trip to NSW for the interstate people isn't too bad :)

this has definately beem discussed!!

Yuk, Eastern Creek is just a drag strip with a couple of 90o corners thrown in. Its a test of power output not car's balance and driver's skill. Might as well just put the cars on a dyno to see who will win.

Sounds like my kind of place!

Nope, still have the Beemer...

Aren't M3's welcome at OP? :thumbsup::):(

lol thats cool

Didnt you have a 5 series though?

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
