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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
