tein super streets, aus spec, full stiff front and back.

whiteline adjustable swaybars front and back, both on hard setting

pineapples in the rear, set for max squat, shoulnt effect it i dont think ?

tyres are crappy china spec atm, 235/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rear

alignment is fine, no wobbles even at high speed

Soften the front sway bar first to deal with the understeer, but if you've got rubbish tyres this might be more dangerous unless you're handy with opposite lock.......

i will soften front and see how that is, booking in for new rear tyres asap so was wondering wether or not to do fronts too, might aswell i suppose

i aint no D1 drifter but yeh i can steer through most situations lol, never over corrected yet touch wood :laugh:

thanks for the replies :D

More air in the front tyres. Less air in the rears.

Soften the front suspension. Stiffen the rear suspension.

More front camber. Less rear camber

Probably get some decent tyres.

booked in for bridgestone adrenalins all round tomorrow, will see how that is.

if need to will soften front springs slightly, if still not working will soften front sway bar.

psylor, cant stiffen rear swaybar, as i mentioned its already max stiff :happy:

ur gonna adjust spring rate before ARB's? u realise springs are at least $100ea, whereas adjusting sway bars is free right?

haha yeh mate, read up a bit, adjustable coilovers. cheers :)

also new adrenalins made a bit of diff already. will keep fine tuning. cheers for all replies guys :)

yeh i know, but from what i read sumone suggested to "maybe soften the front dampers up abit, get more grip on the front"

just read back, i did say "soften front springs" meant dampers, my bad lol

haha yeh mate, read up a bit, adjustable coilovers. cheers :)

also new adrenalins made a bit of diff already. will keep fine tuning. cheers for all replies guys :D

yeh as mentioned that doesnt give u adjustment in ur springs, only changing springs changes the spring rate.

damper adjustment is more complex than what it seems, ur better off adjusting ur sway bars as that will give more predictable results.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
