had a nice day at the creek. Only six skyline members turned up. My first shot with the Gtr was,1. very twitchy around corners (need better suspension) 2. brakes failed on turn 1 after 6 laps (need better brakes)

I swapped the gtr for the GtiR and was pleasantly surprised that it was faster than my gtr over the track. Perhaps its the Ohlins suspension. (Gotta remove the speed limiter)

Conclusion for the day

1. buy better brakes and coil overs

2. spend money on more driving lessons

3. the other guys seem nice but I wont bring my 3 teenage daughters to any club outtings ;^)..

lol re point 3!

Didn't see you out there today, do you leave when the rain arrived?

We had a great afternoon in the wet :(

And eastern creek is pretty tough on brakes compared to other NSW tracks... I go thru a heap of pads and rotors there....

      Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all

      LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.

      Best practice for any track day should be Bleed brake fluid, inspect rotors and pads maybe even flip pads if they are prone to tapering.  Quality pad (project mu, endless, hawk, winmax, ap), Good high carbon content rotor (dba4000/5000, Ap, projectmu), Quality fluid, Good air supply over the rotor and caliper are all required for best performance at a track day no matter the car.  Even the bedding in of the pad and rotor is key to longevity. I've seen so many rotors destroyed on their first track day due to it.
