ok yes 8-8.40 but we would prefer everyone get there as early as possible in that time frame. If everyone arrives at 8.35am it's not going to make it very easy to get through 40 cars is it.

anyway, I'm sure Cejay has it sorted :)

So who from the ACT enjoyed it? lol

Frink - whats been done to your car driveline wise mate?

brakes?

diff?

suspension?

I was impressed!

I had the worst/no brakes :D

:)

slotted DBA 4000 rotors, high temp pads, stainless steel braided brake lines, motul RBF600 fluid, Kaaz 1.5 way mechanical LSD, HSD adjustable coilovers, adjustable toe, camber and castor, HICAS lock bar, front strut brace, GTR rear wing on full downforce adjustment (it actually helps!). i think thats about it....

i had a great time. you run a well organised event and i cant wait for the next one....

off the top of my head i think i've got DBA 4000 rotors, but not the pads etc, and my brakes would shudder real bad when they were hot, and now my pedal feels all spongy :D

nfi what rotors I have, think they are stock rotors, cant fault the QFM pads though, held up good, no brake fade, although I was a bit cautious, brake pedals still holding up fine.

you need to get your rotors machined and give your brake fluid a good flush. the shudder you were feeling was your rotors warping due to the high brake temps. its not a nice is it?

cheers for that frink! does this mean that my rotor are likely to warp every track day i go to? what a pain because it started like half way through the day! warping is definitely not nice as it was shaking the whole steering colom.

yeah unfortunately they will. you just have to do 3 "hot" laps then 1 or 2 "slow" laps as this will help (a lot!) with cooling your brakes and help prevent them from warping.

    • 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.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
