Midnight on this forum posts out secondary bonnet restraints for $30, they're not mandatory at open track days but cheap insurance if the factory bonnet latch fails: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Se...in-t234957.html

Got my car wheel aligned for this today.

Front - +1.2 toe, -3.75 camber, +6 caster

Rear - +1.0 toe, -3.00 camber

would be good to wind more camber out on the rear but the cops might not like it hehe

Rear camber seems a bit much, but i guess you dont have all that much power at the rear wheels just yet :P

yeah true lol, i could wind it out to -1.5/2 degrees on the rear but the tires would stick half way out the guard lol

Once i get the guards flared at some stage i should manage -1.5 to -2 degree's on the rear.

The front is perfectly set up for track at the moment.

Big thanks Adelaide Tyre Power :P

nice! im goin for -1 degree on the rear and -2 degree on the front. castor arms should help aswell

Ive ordered a set of QFM track pads, $220 for front and rear which is about have the price of Red Stuff pads. They where sent off today so i should have them by about Tuesday. I'll let people know how they handle the track and on the street :(

I brought QFM HPX pads (street/light track pads) from a business trader here for I think 131 (front and rear + delivered), plan to put either on if I wear down my current pads while at Mallala. Was going to get the A1RM but they're fairly dusty being a track pad.

Formulation - Cold Friction - High Friction - Temperature ©

HP-X - 0.41 - 0.42 - 0-550

A1RM - 0.40 - 0.48 - 0-780

Hey Chad where did you get them through? My QFM R1AM's (780degree) pads arrived yesterday but they only cost $191 posted and we should be using the same pads (unless you brembo's?)

Hey Lance, If you read the feed back from the customers using the A1RM's they pretty much all say they are low dust;

Just normal 32 GTR brakes, got them off the group buy, i didn't have time to shop around.

K750 (A1RM) Track Day Pads

Edited by DSTROY
no worries, I got them off the GSL Rallysport (their web page is the one linked above) they are the Australian distributor for Queensland Friction Materials pads, hence why they are cheaper, less middle men.

oh ok, i'll try and remember that for next time. My last set of pads lasted 7 months, these one's should last a little longer. Track days and hills runs sure use up the pads pretty quick.

    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
