hoping that this damn rain will clear for Monday.

I'd be interested to see how quick that SR8 eventually goes. Considering the SR3 RS is doing it in a 52.95 I bet it will be pretty impressive!

the SR8 has been running for several seasons now at about that pace.

Cheers Noel nearly pulled the pin but glad i did decide to head up.

Shame i missed you Mark I didnt turn up untill around 2pm.

Was a bit of a handfull in the conditions. Especially since I had the car set up with 5 deg negitive camber front and 2.5 deg negitive in the rear so was not an ideal set up for a wet track on a street tyre. Even though there was a partial dry line with a bit of standing water and a fair bit of damp track at least it was only slight drizzle. Was a bit of fun trying to get a feel for the car anyway after very limited track time in the car then a 12month abscence from the track and a new brake set up on the car.

All in all a lot to try and come to grips with. Had the boost turned right down and car was going well obviously there will be a few tweaks to sort out befor i next hit the track. Need to fit a brake bias as the car seems to have a little to much rear bias and seems a little taily under brakes and a few other little tweaks.

The only real drama I had was the car throwing a power sterering belt wich took out the dry sump belt. Was a bit of luck that it happened under brakes on decell and was able to shut the engine down imeidiatley so shouldn't have done any damage. Had a spare dry sump belt wich i threw on and started the engine and everthing seemed fine. Engine still had plenty of oil pressure and sounded fine. So will just have to check the filter on the scavage return in the next day or so to make sure there are no nasty's in there but should be fine.

Looks like this might be enough motivation for me to set up a electric power steering set up so I wont have to worry about this scenareo ever happening again.

How wet was that. Kudos to those brave enough to get out there and make a splash.

Good to see the Dazmo mobile pull in just as I was leavin. >_<

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

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
