Small update

So a few things. Need to fix the rear camber so ordered hard race rear camber arms.

Also rear end bearings were gone so apparently it is easier to order a full HICAS delete kit:

...

Over the next month will also do a custom cooler piping job and custom airpod box.

May also do Sandown this month but not sure yet

Nice kit! Something to add to the shopping list perhaps is rear traction arms, they'll help counter bump steer in a lowered setup. Here's some more info from when I was looking into that: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448509-wheel-alignment-question-car-feeling-more-skittish/?do=findComment&comment=7570413

Re Sandown, I'm pretty keen on the Tempered session on Australia Day, might see you there :)

Smart plan! I'm hoping to do the same :)

I have signed up for Sandown on the 26th, fingers crossed all of last year's issues are fully sorted. If you end up dropping by look for the silver 34 sedan with black wheels :)

Awesome thread! Car looks brilliant. 

Where did you order your hardrace parts from? I can't seem to find many sellers these days now

    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
