keen to see a vid of the cammed up sss, good luck for wednesday man, any changes to the z since you last ran?

No changes, just working on my driving. Changed the gearbox oil so it no longer crunches going into 4th gear, might be able to select 4th instead of bouncing off the limiter. The SSS goes really well, keeps up with my Z no problem and i'm gunna try line him up because my mate will be recording the night.

sweet, throw some vids up if you get a chance. my mates got an na (vg30de) 300zx they do go really well. if only the were easier to work on lol

They aren't that hard to work on, i can work on mine no problems.

haha niche cars such as v35/v36 and V8's don't apply to the norm of the N/A section...

This forum actually reminds me of reading the N/A forum on Calais Turbo back when I was in high school and no one could afford a turbo lol, most of the same "mods" are mentioned (cutting AFM mesh anyone?)

+1. keen to know what cams (i'm guessing most likely poncams) and whether it's running a nistune as well. i want to put some poncams and a nistune into the missus SSS but i'm not allowed (plus can't afford it)

Tomei Poncams 260 degree 11.25mm lift. Has the Poncams, Mild head work(shaved etc),pod+CAI, extractors, catback & a chipped Ecu.

Nope. - Poncams. Strange but true, I double taked the first time too

yeah i remember he told me they were poncams but i wasn't too sure myself. All the cars are on regular street tyres so don't expect magnificent times but it should be a fun night. Anybody in sydney is free to come down and have a look themselves :).

with those mods he should be putting out enough power to give a NA skyline a scare on a dyno, let alone on a track in a car that weighs about 200kg less. should easily get into the 14's without too much trouble.

and yeah that's the poncams. they aren't that lumpy either. good street cam.

grr wish i was in sydney still, I've seen one natro 33 at willowbank and it wasn't racing. BTW I'm at willowbank at least twice a month if you see a grey and black two tone 33 with green ps come say hi :)

I'm actually expecting him to give me a good chop going down the strip, thats why i'm going to try get him in my lane for a run.

Hey guys, results are in and i have to say sorry as you won't be too impressed!

The Corolla(88kw bigport) ran 16.8 sec with ECU problems

The Cammed SSS did a PB of 15.449 @ 88mph (2.5 60ft)

My 300ZX did 14.58 @ 95mph (2.279 60ft)

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
