Ok this is where i get the count for the timing gear;

Aberax

Destroy

BIT SUS

Krishy

So we need 5 more for it to be viable.

If you want to hire the timing gear for $42 let me know.

and can i also be added to the list, along with Josh and heslo's + 1 (he's gay), and heslo also said he may put in the money if need be to make up the last person and he will use it in conjunction with his own timing gear

cheers Bengi

sure it cant be that hard to get 5 more people out of the ones coming out on the day lol

yeah should be pretty easy, to get a few more.

Its just amazing how quickly this track day is adding up again, especially since my car is nowhere near ready, and still got more parts to aquire

i still have to

-fit coilovers

-fit front brake upgrade

-flush & bleed brakes

-get new tyres

-get exhaust made

-raise boost

-change oil, filter

-make new seat mounts

and there is probably more as well, problem is hoists have been full for the past three weeks, and everytime i made room, another job got booked in :)

lol. benji, need a working bee or something before the track day.

yeah, word on the street is that your coming down here to do it all for me...or else we aint coming to pick you up on track day morning lol

lol. drop it round my place next monday. got most of the week off, get the coils*, brakes, and oil/filter change tackled.

*just dont expect to adjust heights. im way too f**kin lazy.

stupid r31's. ill have a look. what have you got for the front end exactly? s13 lcas? standard knuckles? a31 rotors im guessing?

Edited by scandyflick
rear coils, just use the top hats from the rear struts in there at the moment :)

yeah thats prob what i was gonna end up doing. seemed like an easier option, and its not like it matters what top is on there as they aren't adjustable up top anyway.

Cheers Bengi

with the rest of the money for this track day that i owe can i pay that on the day? or pay beforehand?

cars slowly coming along

gauges to be paid for and sent

wiring to be finished hopefully this weekend

tyres to be fitted to rims

fit oil cooler

fit new brake pads and bleed system

fit 5 stud conversion

pump the shit outta the guards

get it tuned and wheel alinged

list is getting much easier as time goes by

still gonna be tight gettn it all ready in time but we will manage :cool:

writeoff and myself could run seperate timing gear units if the numbers are needed for the package deal.

there is no issue/worries in that.

with me, Im not sure what car to bring. Im real sore due to no-kneeness; cant do much. just a brake pad change ruins me.

the stagea is all good and can drive there and back & have a great day out. have spare pads for the day; easy no-nonsense dayout.

however Id like to run the r32 rb26 sedan that I bought specifically for track days. in lieu of riding motorbikes.

the sedan has new highflowed turbos, champion gold plugs, Penrite 5-50 synthetic oil, greddy oil filter, yellowjacket coilpacks, siemens denso 550cc injectors,

power-fc, 5zigen 3" catback exhaust, new radiator silicon hoses with 52mm dual-core race radiator, turbotech boost controller

ku36 235/17 tyres with qfm a1rm brake pads & slotted rotors/braided lines up front, good 5spd rb40 box & singlepuck clutch,

tein coilover suspension with full greddy strutbars front and rear, race wheel & seat, wideband meter, boost meter, stripped interior

a fuel surge tank and 305lph walbro external pump is being setup early april at boostwerx along with full pfc tune.

roll cage wont be finished/installed. permit needed to get to/from tuners & trackday.

not much more I need to do. rebleed the brakelines so that rules out 3 upcoming days, cleanup the interior a little,

get bits finished here and there. trying to get it ready minus the roll cage setup plus a few other goodies coming from japan, but too sore to go full-bore at the project.

...... we'll see.

cage I won for $155 plus container setrate of $400.

aaacage.jpg

wheels for $45, free shipping due to container space

anew2.jpg

free shipping so why not some $250 cams

acam1.jpg

hmm, bride drivers seat and passengers bride seat rail, $200

that'll go well with my bride drivers seat rail, the shit chair there atm can be for passengers

plus a few oddsnends for cheap, little bits here and there, . . . . :)

:cool:

eventually I want to get an rb26 powerglide auto adapter, power glide Auto-Transmission kit, custom fitting to the Stagea, 3k.

Im going to rebuild the rb26, drop it into the stagea with a 3spd auto trans full manual valvebody . . . and sell the sedan and the current stag engine package

12k in costs all up for complete rb26 rebuild, installed & custom stag auto transmission, but should be able to net back 8k from sales =)

    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
    • Yeah, well I was probably way underguessing the $300 figure anyway. Just multiplied a "normal" by 4 for the purposes of pointing out it's not cheap, particularly if it has to be repeated.
