The fluids will be flowing my friend if this is the case :)

How about you? Your phillip island times are already making the evolution owners quiver :P

Lol no ones quivering unless your from tassie. Our aim is a 1.29-1.31 and not blow anything up. We will be there on wed that week to do some testing as the cars never been on that track and may only achieve 2.00 flat.

Your car is now a monster, 1.35 and under for sure.

Agree.

What was your time at PI? On Semi's?

Your build thread was cool, your car has come a long way.

Thanks mate, Ive been looking at your the last few days and taking a bit of inspiration :) mine is just a (very) budget build though. Its still in the motorsport build forum, i just haven’t done much lately

never used semis with the 2.8lt engine, only used slicks. I have spoken to people that have used slicks and advan Ao50's and they say there's nothing in it, one said that the Ao50 was slightly faster but until we try it ourselves i am unsure of this. Was looking forward to seeing your car this year too.

Edited by stevena

Yeah. Was it a 39 or something on slicks? If so that's damn quick. I was hoping to have a good crack at winton and PI this year on a very limited racing budget. Was aiming for a 29 at Winton and a 41 at PI. Haven't been back to PI since I blew and engine 2 weeks before WTAC 2012. Unfortunately won't be doing much this year now. My mate stacked my car 2 weekends ago at a motorkhana and busted up the front bar and oil cooler and all the front splitter supports were on the bar. Not worth re-doing that setup and I'm using it as an excuse to upgrade the whole new front splitter/diffuser and new front bar which will take a while to develop. Will have to be next year now.

1.36.7 on Pirelli 305 slicks. Not good to hear what your mate did, hopefully he's paying for it. What front bar do you think you will use instead?

1:36.7. That's impressive mate. What sump are you running? I am having oil surge problems in mine now that it has so much lateral grip. I've got a baffled sump but it's still not cutting it. I've only done a 45 or something at PI but that was lifting on the straights due to noise restrictions and I still got booted off after the 1st session. In reality it should have been a 43 or so. Really need to get back there!

Yeah he's a good mate and has worked on my car for years to get me to WTAC etc so he'll be helping me pay for it plus do the work as well. Not a lot of options for decent looking front bars.

This page has a lot of options but not really sold on any of them yet. Pretty hard to beat the look of the stock bar in my opinion.

I see yours is a tommy kiarra? Where did you get that from?

I need a 'swoopy' style bar as the stock bar isn't deep enough to have any room for a diffuser. I want to do a big diffuser if I can. My old one was just flat and is limited to how much down force it can generate.

Had larger pan with baffles and accumulator prior but had oil surge in 2 corners so updating to a dry sump set up that the guys are making up. I believe my bar is a trust copy from carmods Australia, gives good room to put oil coolers behind the bar. some good bars to choose from on your link, I liked em. Send me a pm when your headed back out to the island good to see your car in action.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
