Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[Marlin]

Fuel tank position I reckon..... I can't think of anything else that could be the culprit.

[DJRIFT]

from the corner weighting of mine and others the drivers side is heavier than the passenger side. i would say that the adjustments made to even the front out has offset the rear. unless you have adjustable sway bar links. (rose joint style) than any change in ride height or spring pre-load afects the car somewhere elce.

did you do the adjusting Woo

[Marlin]

Yes I adjusted it. But I have all standard links etc, the corner weights are only adjusted via the coil overs.

All 32's are simply heavier on the driver's side, come to think of it, so is Berry's 34, but by a LOT more than this. (Obviously the 4WD driveline has a lot to do with that).

To my mind, it's more important to have equal weight on the front to minimise brake lockup.

Nice piccies!

Your never going to know without sticking a camera in there. But one of the circuit r32's down here has a greddy oil pressure gauge, and the warning light alwyas comes on under brakes. The other R32 down here that is quicker doesn't have a gauge, and that ran a bearing at the v8 supercar round last year, it was suspected it was under brakes. But we really don't know

i have noticed on a couple of occasions mine has gotten low oil pressure under brakes and in some.one elses car i have noticed the warning light come on under brakes, never had an issue round corners.

[sav man]

We dataloged the oil pressure light on a circuit r32 on the weekend, and under brakes the light does come on, but it's not long enough to light the bulb (2 tenth's of a sec)

[Marlin]

See, there's ya problem!

Data logging, gauges, lights, oil coolers. Don't run them mate, outa sight, outa mind

(only half joking)

[DJRIFT]

well the oil pressure did only drop under extreem braking so you wont have this problem Woo.

[zebra]

Do fences count as extreme braking?

LOL

[Marlin]

Real men don't lift.

I was talking to Woo yesterday and thought how cool it would be (if you didn't have tyre usage to worry about), scando and on the handbrake into that hairpin on Riana...

Bring more spectators thats for sure!

[TiTAN]

you wouldnt be worried about the roll overs?

[PHaT MR30]

you wouldnt be worried about the roll overs?

Me worried about rollovers? Lol!

I'm with you, I have a boost gauge and that is it

Everything else is going to tell me my motor is going to be f**ked, I'd rather be told by the motor itself haha

[sav man]

I've been told by my engine once, and so has the car we were logging. I've found getting told by the engine is gay, cause you need to replace it after it tells you

[MBS206]

I've had 3 engines in my car...

The first let go with all gauges connected.

The second let go on it's first venture with all gauges connected

The third lasted a lot longer then the other two, purely because I only had the tacho and boost gauge connected... Reconnected oil pressure and the motor shit itelf 6 hours later...

Fourth motor is going in at the moment...

Edit: Oh, and LOVE those pics!!!
