My front right shock is gone so I will have to give this one a miss. Not to mention I'm gonna be falling from the sky at 200kph while the race is going :)

Fabs, check out the info from one of the other Mallala prac day threads :no:

Many variables on oil temp mate - power output, rev range you are using (ie experience on track) sump size, oil pump, turbos (water vs oil cooled) etc. Usually a stockish GTR (with standard initial mods of exhaust, boost, intake, tune up to around 240rwkw) will be up there over 100 degrees after 8 laps or so, ambient temperature dependant. For tomorrow, with a session of a couple of sprints and a cool down in between (which will also help your tyres, and brakes cool down) you'd be pretty good. Main thing is to let it cool once it is hot for a lap or two then you can get back on it. Or you could fit an oil cooler in record time.........

There is absolutly no way I could make this event because of work commitments ffs but I think next session I will come out. Been out a whole heap of times to watch a friend of mine race, he has a white VL Turbo, got 1:22 or something very similar as his fastest lap and will be coming out shortly with more mods so I think I'll definatly come down for the next event and enter.

Goodluck guys and no one twist there cars. I was there last time watching when an evo 8? hit the wall on the straight after the hairpin just as the kink in the straight is. Slightly damp roads + full racing slicks = understeer :rofl: Never heard what happened to the driver, he was taken to hospital not moving tho

New oil and air filter are in, new pod, new plugs, topped up brake and steering fluids, checked brake pads and under body for leaks. Gotta do tyre pressures tomorrow before i head out.

What air pressures should I be running on 18's? 225/40 front 245/45 rear. Was thinking around 30-32 front 32-34 rear?

      Drivers R32 GTR seat

      By mtopxsecret6 · Posted

      Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
