hey,

as the topic states, im looking for somewhere in sydney that does track wheel alignments/good with setting up track cars, and a place that sells semi slicks, preferably around the castle hill/baulkham hills area

ive got a track day coming up on the 29th at wakefield so ive got 2 weeks to get my car sorted

Track alignment....

is your car used as a track car and a daily driver?

or is it just for track/weekend car?

Heasmans and east coast suspension would be your best bet over your normal bob jane/ tyre shop alignments!

Semis - go to the business trader here on SAU and look for taleb tyres - they can get you a good deal - its worth driving to them.

edit - Ive never been to heasmans or east coast but have heard good reports, you do pay for quality work though

chears mate, i think the car was originally set up at heasmans before i bought it when tuitahi put the suspension in,

i use the car as a daily but it does see the occasional track day, but i only drive a couple of minutes to work now.

+1 for heasmans, we know the guys there and any huge jobs customers have we send them there, thats where we do our personal suspension/coilover work as well.

If you already have your settings by the time you come by ours for tyres, our mechanic can set the car to your desired settings, pm me with what you've got and we can discuss it.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
