Yeah it was kinda introduced half way throughout the day. We were told we'd need one for the afternoon but not the slalom. But there are trees and concrete barriers (which never used to be there) at the end of the slalom course now so I guess he wanted to be safe than sorry :P

Major fun though. Loved the whole day.

also suspension comes into a major role

my plans are reshim my lsd d2 coilovers rear camber arms front and rear strut braces and solid craddle bushes should be alot more better and easier than what it is now

and a kakimoto exhaust might free things up a bit because sum wise ass decides stock exhaust to the last flange at the muffler get a cannon, 10 mill industrial pipe two and a half into 2 inch !!!!!! not suffocating at all

what suspension mods have you performed jimmy?

Edited by LUME

Suspension is a cusco front strut brace, and TEIN Super-street coilovers. The coilovers were the best thing I did. And then I am running the GTS-t brakes and R200 diff aswell (apparently it was shimmed from the previous owner).

Luke - Your R34 is NA? That is one tuff NA 4dr. Love it.

I unfortunately don't have any videos, but I have a R33 GTS25 sedan that is used for circuit racing/hill climbs/ auto crosses and motokahnas, the relability of the car has been absolutely brilliant, it's done close on 240,000km now and is still going pretty well considering.

The only real gripes I have with the car is on the circuit it could certaily do with a bit more power on the straights, and in the motokahna events it's one hell of a big car to throw around when the cones are so close.

When taking part in ciruit events I can ususally finish in the first 33% of the field depending on the track, so with the right suspension mods the GTS25 can do fairly well.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
