[BOOSTD]

sweet, well I apologise for not waving back when you shot past...had no idea who it was.

[Deluxe]

hey mate

i watched the celia today... what understeer? looks like a whole lot of oversteer haha nah looks like it does really well around the track!

Yeh yeh i know what you mean, yeh turn one as you know can be a bit sideways, but we have just gone from 60 profile on a 14inch to a 50 profile on a 15 with a 4.3 Kaaz 2 way and our gear ratios were not quite right before on the 60 profile, so today we had to learn new gear change points!! Trusty 3sgte doesnt go too bad in a whale of a RA40, mind you it weight 1060ish with driver!!

[Madaz]

thats kool

i had no idea why you were doing 20kph less that the speed limit was juice an issue and thats why you went straight to the BP

lo, yep. Did three seesions and used my entire tank...

[salad]

I think half the problem today was people didn't really know who to look for?

Would it make things easier if next time I PM'd my number to everyone that was coming so everyone could know where we were?

Or maybe list distinguishing features of cars? or?

BOOSTD: Yeah, you really need to bring a jerry can or two full of fuel out with you. I'll be bringing two full ones with me from now on Probably a spare set of pads too

Oh and BIG thanks to Steve for organising all food and drink today, pity it didn't work out well...

lol

[nisskid]

yeah shame about that vac leak... I bet your knock sensors were working over time

watched you do a lot of laps... car doesnt look like its suffering from lack of spring rate or under dampering issues... it does look more to be a wheel alignment/tyre pressure issue, and maybe push the car a little harder into turn 1 FWIW theres minimal body roll on the car considering you were running semi's

lol yeh cheers for pointing that issue out, i didnt really look for any other issues as i noticed the vacuum line to the boost gauge gone straight away, and as much as i cable tied the bitch back together it kept blowing apart, hence in the end i just cable tied the end of the vacuum line to stop it from leaking. when it started choking again i just assumed it had failed like all my other attempts.

yeh wheel alignment is definately an issue, as much as i love the GB, the bushes with it just do not give you enough adjustment, after adjusting the castor rods to max, all i could get was like 6. the camber is another massive issue, will be going some proper arms, the bushes once again do not give enough adjustment and are frankly too friggin hard to play around with.

pressure was 30psi cold, wasnt sure what to run as they were technically a road tire. for the spring rates there is f**k all roll, but i wouldnt mind stepping up the spring rates and shock valving up just a tad, but for now its just not worth the $$ for me as im quite happy with it at the moment. for drift there is a bit too much kick back than id like, but once again for the spring rates its bloody impressive how little roll and kick back there is.

R33 Lower control arms

adjustable rose jointed castor rods

subframe lock collars

and last but not least

rear camber arms

fit these items, get an alignment (see showza for specs) and try again

[salad]

You could only get 6deg caster out of your car cos it's bent...

[Simon-S14]

is it?

maybe fix that first

[nisskid]

nah bs, and u know it. how much caster did david get again with his?

coincidence that both me and him got around 6 on both sides, on both of our cars?

not keen on rose joint rods, im gonna try and find an adjustable rod with a urethane bush.

oh and i was going as hard into turn one as possible, most times i ended near the outer apex with basically no grip left, that was all she had in her. line on the other hand i could probs work on.

[Simon-S14]

not keen on rose joints?!

lol

my castor rods are tein items which are legal by regancy standards, and ive had them in my cefiro and my 32.. going 2 years strong, lots of thrashing, took them out the other day when i out the 33 arms in and they still felt brand new!!!

cant ask for much more then that.,...

[nisskid]

yeh i dunno, reading some of gary's notes about them makes me less keen on them, and it all makes sense too. i mean if it comes down to it ill grab some but woudnt mind looking into the ones with bushes still.

[Simon-S14]

remember at the end of the day gary owns whiteline and is trying to sell his products I would take what he says with a grain of salt sometimes

[nisskid]

sometimes i would agree with that, but yeh just more reading up is needed i rekon. + im poor after yesterday, dont think ill be buying anything like that for a while.

[boostdq]

I appologise to the guy with the BBQ. My tail lights failed on the track so I left before the bbq to beat traffic home. And i apologise to anyone driving behind me.

Was an absolute blast even thou i only got 10 laps in.

Anyone grad any pictures of my s13

[Mobies]

well i did kinda spot the skylines all together in the sheds, but that wasn't where the map said everyone would be and didn't seem to be much people and no BBQ from what i could see plus seeing all the skylines showing up then leaving didn't help either oh well im sure people are keen about this club to start up maybe better luck next time aye

[Cubes]

The bbq was behind the black and silver skyline parked. Out of the wind was the idea.
