Motorplex meet.

Good to hear Rob!

My concern was you might get a little bit of axle hop. Sounds like I'll have to get my torque wrench back off you and fit my kit on straight away.

How long did it take BTW?

[Guest Rhino]

Run Troy.....you know you want to

[deesh]

how hard was that to fit? I know someone on this forum is interested in the kit, but ill end up having to help him fit it, not naming any names.

Id like to know what im getting myself into if i agree to help.

Some people have no skills... you know who you are.

[rob77]

well, it took my mate about 30 mins to do one side and then he worked out the easy way and it took like 15 mins to do the other side. I'm one of those people that doesnt know a great deal about what I'm doing (plus I dont have the tools he has). Anyway, took about 45 mins or so all up. Its quite straight forward, if you want some help let me know as I know exactly how it hooks up. Been driving around a bit tonight and it seems to axel hop (I think) when driving straight and putting the foot down. Took a sharp left hand corner and I really had to try hard to get the tail out, very scary ****, so its definately holding the road better, next would be the coil-overs if you want serious all round handling, but my cars primarily for the drags and straight line power. I think I'm also getting a little bit of detonation running 0.8bar, either that or something is loose in my engine bay and making a rattling noise... might have to go back to 0.6bar *sigh* anyway, I'll run it down the drags on 0.8bar and see if I can get into the 13's, then start saving for a big **** off money style front mount cooler

Rob,

Thats pinging alright, if the 'rattle noise' is whilst under load.

Axle hop wise it might pay to have a look at some springs for the back/front. In terms of spring rate I would try to leave the front alone, and just pop in some stiffer units in the back.

Give a couple of suspension joints a call and ask them if what spring rate at the back will fix the axle hop. Once you find out the concensus on rate and height find out which brand of spring offers the cheapest solution. Kings/Pedders/k-mac blah blah blah are all made well enough, the rate and height are the important things. Change the shocks only when they are buggered (once again save the money), the stock rear shocks will have a nice long 'travel' which is what you need for the back.

Once you get it sorted you can post the rear rate for all the R33 boys and girls.

[Guest Rhino]

OK people I have looked into my crystal ball and it seems Sunday is going to be cool but fine and sunny....then again maybe a few clouds but definately no rain

So what time does the 'plex open the gates, how much to run and do we want to meet somewhere on the way down or just see each other inside?

I've just got my helmet orgainsed and have my fingers crossed the clutch stands up.

Cheers,

Ryan.

P.S. The above Weather forecast is not guaranteed;)

[Boostzor]

Yessiree im coming for sure now. Got 2 new tyres on the back and they are ready to be "honed":burnout:

I reckon we just meet at the track, prolly be the easiest way to go:)

[adam 32]

yeh id say meet at 12 in the pit area

racing is from 12-4

and it costs $28

[macka]

12 that late?

Isnt it a morning thing or is it during the day

[MrSnrub]

Nah Macka racing starts at 12:00. I think gates open at about 11-11:30am

You coming down? I am.

Ben

[JH32]

I wanna come too!

Do you mind if I still meet up with you guys even though I don't really know anyone and also since Im not racing?

[macka]

Yeah im trying to get there...

My car is grumpy as hell tho

U should get closer to 14.0 now Benny Boy

[MrSnrub]

Well it cant be too much more grumpy than it was last time we were there!

Yeah 14.0! Do you reckon 13.9 could be on the cards??

pod

3"dump

3"cat

3.5" cat back

10psi

May have 17"s by Sunday as well, which will probably slow me down a bit.

[macka]

12psi

perfect launch w 20psi tyres

the damn standard turbo runs out of guts half way down the track thats the problem you need that 2nd gear pull all the way thru third it is a great gear just needs to be unleased by new turbo and intercooler

But then again anything is possible

Dont forget u can get a worse time when u dump it with higher boost more wheel spin for longer

[macka]

LOL Funny Man Ben

No its not that grumpy as last time

Hey i still got in the 15s :shake:

But BOV playing up,

Not holding Boost its rising!!

Pinging at 13psi w only 5degrees timing.

Way untuned!

No Dump Pipe yet but maybe

[MrSnrub]

Well i seem to remember Skyzerr said he got 14.0 with same mods as me but no dump pipe.

So i might be in with a chance...... obviously driver launch ability is the big factor :burnout:

Hmm yeah your car sounds f*cked man.... Thats no good.

Race the 'lux

[adam 32]

yeh jimih come down, bring you borthers car... that looks like it could lay down some mean times

d/w macka ill race ya:P im pretty confident at 8psi that ill break the elusive 15sec barrier :burnout:

[adam 32]

hey dan (if you read this) are you coming down? havent seen you or ya car in aaages!!

[rob77]

Well, definately getting pinging on 0.8bar of boost, not all the time probably only about 1% of the time I floor it, but still it isnt good. So I'll coax it down the 1/4 with a good top up of octane booster and see if I can break a high 13, but I wont be pushing too hard. Might have to find a front mount quick

Rob

[macka]

Well you never know B1 do a few runs and find out :-) a good 60ft time is the key i guess..(u sure Skyzerr was running only 10)

The car actually runs wuite smooth and has a decent power range, But thanks for the encouragement :lol:

Adam a mouse could run in and out of those T04 blades at 8psi while you race all the way down da track
