Mallala Grip Practice Day - May 16th

[Moodles2]

Can't take a passenger around Mallala without an rollcage. And even then it's up to the scrutineers and marshalls on the day.

Woo, Will have a huge Nismo front sway bar on my car for this and new tyres

[SkyHi_33]

Tell us how the car feels after. That's my next suspension mod front n back sway bars + rear strut brace... than i just gotta replace some bushes with nolathane ones and I'm set.

[Krishy]

handling mods are next on the list for me

[scandyflick]

handling > horsepower.

coils are in, adjustable arms are on order, shall be hunting down some swaybars next pay.

[Damo_R34]

what other reputable brands of sway bars are out there? Nismo and Whiteline roll off the tongue, but anything else?

[scandyflick]

selby. cusco. jic.

[SkyHi_33]

handling > horsepower.

+1

Especially on tight courses or hill climbs. My mates dad gets 36.8sec up Collingrove Hill Climb in a dead stock new clio with better suspension. Guys in Porches cant usually match that. But the guy has had years of experience on the same track so i guess "experience > money" counts too!

dam i would be so in but going to tazie that weekend

Mallala Grip Practice day - May 16th

$125 - Anyone intersted?

[SkyHi_33]

Got my slotted RDA rotors and qfm a1rm pads in finally!!

Bedding in was sketchy but after a good 30min drive, then going for the brakes hard again MASSIVE difference... im afraid to push it past half way, it just locks up regardless of speed. Gonna take a bit of getting used to for smooth quick braking but daaaammmnnn!!! Highly recommended.

Steel braded lines + master cyl stopper are next up then braking setup is finished.

Oh btw, since its track talk here, anyone know where I can get a decent cross bar for the r33? Its the bar that goes behind front seats used to bolt up the racing harnesses on to..

im jealous, i still have my slightly warped discs from the BSM cruise..also, if any1 could help me, is it ok to have a video camera strapped in with the use of duct tape? i would like to get some footage from the dash and im not sure if its allowed or not, i just want to make sure. Ah im so keen for this...first time track-user...

[heslo]

Nope, you need a proper mount. I also beleive there's certain size/weight restrictions to cameras now

[DSTROY]

[SkyHi_33]

Im changing my engine oil n coolant tomorrow.

Does someone know who can service my auto trans cheap this week? I'm really low on cash and don't have the room to do the trans at my house.

Also, anyone got a 3"- 3.5" cat lying around cheap? I got the dump pipe ready to go in but would like to do the cat at the same time.

Cant wait for this!!

Ben the pads we put in had plenty of life left in them so should be OK for awhile unless they're not pulling you up like you'd like.

IMO, for your use, slotted rear rotors = waste of money.

[Luke_ENR34]

Forgot to ask you Pete, How did u find the Project Mu front rotors u have on the GTR? Looking at getting some soon.

the pads do have more life but they dont bite anywhere near as hard as the bendix, and i really hate that.

just going to get the rear rotors at the same time i get q1fm pads, less hassle in the long run imho - slotted on all 4 = sexy too

I hope you have a auto trans cooler for your auto box, i wouldn't take a auto car to a track without one
