I've tried my hardest but i don't have a trailer or a car with a tow hook. Ive also had no luck finding someone i know that has one. The renting path is also not going to work just becuase of how early I need to leave.

So, what happens if something happens to my car and i can't drive it back up to melbourne? Is there an sau club trailer or can anyone recommend a towing company as a last case scenario?

To the guys looking at the RS3's.

I got my set for tad over $880 deliverd from tirereack.com. 255/40/17

Couldnt fond them for less than 1100 locally......maybe there is somewhere but thats the best i could do.

They do feel very soft. But they only just made it on the car so havent actually driven on them yet.

Ive had KU36 and RSR's so it will be interesting to see how they compare.

Fingers crossed for some good weather. Good being cold, windy and cloudy....but no rain!!

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Will be good to see what you think of them.

What times have you done on KUs / RSRs and what tracks?

Also what car?

Will be good to get a comparison from another user of the KU / RSR.

Hey Femmo,

Its a 33 GTST.

Its had some changes as time has gone on so hard to directly compare.

The RSR's where about 1-2 seconds quicker around winton than the KU36's but they go off after 1 lap!

Maybe its the weight of the car but i never did a warm up....just cruised around for the out lap and then did one timed lap. Although this was during the warmer months.

Looking at my times i get slower after that first timed lap, and you can feel the under steer getting out of control.

I think my best is a 1:41.X on KU's and a 1:40 dead on RSR's.

To be honest i only ran the KU36's for one track day as i didnt like them at all. They were progressive but also went off really fast.

But they where cheap so i suppose its a compromise.

Looking forward to the RS3's. Ive also got more rubber on the front this time so again will be hard to compare directly.

Cheers,

Dave

Car came back with 260 at the treads. Not bad considering it's a tiny 21U housing.

Gah, have to wait 4 days though. 4 painful days!

damn i'm lagging behind

oh well next 18 months is just for shits and giggles anyhow

I would have liked a little more up top, but I suppose that is the limit of the small housing. The larger OP6 housing maybe an option down the track, but WILL require larger rear tyres for sure.

Maybe WTAC 2013 with 280-290rwkw and 285 rears.

I'm up for a garage and in group 2.

no red bus for Katie to keep warm in this time!

I think you can only fit 2 cars.

Do you have to call and book in advance like sandown?

You can call and book.

They only fit 2 cars.

Dave I saw your car in at Tyrepower yesterday getting the O3G's fitted. Much excitement.

Changed the rear tie rods last night....fark it's the bloody HICAS ball joint that has movement, FU Nissan!

The pain the follows removing that SOB with be heavy on the beers.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
