Probably one of my favourite sessions was chasing Richo's 33 for a few laps... Even with the problems he was having with the car i had no chance of catching him, that thing is a rocket! Was great fun though :woot:

13 is my number of choice for most events... So it was fitting that not only was it allocated to me by RTDC but also scored shed 13 in the pits :yes: The car will also be running number 13 for the Nulon Nationals on the 4th of July...

you just never realized you needed one who is making catch can I can't wait to see where you Jam it

Nope it never breathed a drop until i held it at high RPM for long periods... Keeping in mind the car has never had decent traction either so its not really been loaded up for long periods.

JEM now fabricates in-house so they are sorting it for me as Adam wanted to do the design including a return to sump etc

I look forward to seeing where they put it

Except for the gearbox issue, which I hear is a normal thing on GTT's :P

Granny shifting and not double clutching like i should? :P

Tim said that I need to bust my gearbox to join the cool club :P

I look forward to seeing where they put it

In the airbox... Stealth!

About time you did a full day at the track!!

See you on July 4th

Yeah i know mate! Was a pretty damn good feeling i can tell you that much :yes: i was buggered too! All that sitting on your ass steering is hard work :P

Tim said that I need to bust my gearbox to join the cool club :P

Tim is correct :ph34r:

Nah just kidding, try not to break stuff man... It hurts the wallet :(

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
