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.

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!

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..

Ah im so keen for this...first time track-user...

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.

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.

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

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
