Fatz Gtr Reliability Testing

[fatz]

no idea

ill have a look for a sticker next time i am down there

[djr81]

Is written on the springs - something like 0800 250 400 for an 8" long, 2.5" ID, 400lb (7.5kg/mm) spring for example. You can see it on the photo just not high resolution enough to read.

[DekA]

yea i dont have a flatcap or ear vagina so lower is not better!

lol. So testing them out on Friday then?

[fatz]

yea ill just get a basic alignment then give them a bash

see what all these vic people rave about

i guess a proper alignment would really tell some storys but that will have to wait till next track day

[niZmO_Man]

What's with you and no proper wheel alignment eh? Get some more front caster .

[fatz]

New ride height and slipped the Pannasports on

[Piggaz]

Looks like a mid 90's jap drag car.

[fatz]

Yea old school

They look better on. 32

[zebra]

R33 makes them look tiny

[fatz]

Put some hawk pads in they seem very good

Should be for 500+ ... What the f*k?

Suspension seems good on the street

Will give a run down tomorrow at the track

Just going out to replace the o44 now and then pack her up for track time tomorrow

Come in spinner

[Pezhead]

What compound pads? I started with blues for the track and have just stepped up to HT-10's. Like them a lot but probably could have gone to the HT-60's.

They are way cheaper out of the US just $60 shipping that's a pain.

[fatz]

Yea I got the 60's

Anyway bitter sweet today

Got out and did one lap and the lift pump started to die, starve the engine putted around for a few more laps but the miss just it worse

Turns out the previouse noise was the external pump starving so I replaced that for no reason, so the spare will now go in as the lift pump

In other news the coil overs were epic

Knocked 2 seconds of the pb in one lap and I am sure there would have been another few without much trouble

Highly recommended... Turns out those mexicans at race pace know what they r doing

[Piggaz]

How soft do they ride too! I went for a bit of a splat in Ash's car when he had them in his. Highly recommended.

[fatz]

Yea they are pretty dam good on the street soak up the bumps well

At he track when you cut a kerb it just squats and down to business

Old coil were like getting punched in the face when you hit a kerb and then u were thrown across the track

[Piggaz]

Ahh, what good valving is worth

[r32-25t]

Softer springs/shocks work well on Aussie tracks, most Japanese coilovers are made for Japanese tracks which are a lot smoother then ours

[fatz]

New ride height works well

[niZmO_Man]

It looks surprised.

[fatz]

so ripped the intank pump out

had rust on the 044 housing

also fine rust on the intank sock (e85 is cleaning out the fuel system obviously as the tank is plastc)

replaced it and the car ran well but still had a missfire

will replace the fuel filters and see if that fixes it tonight

if that doesnt work ill compression test the old girl to see if i have hurt her running those laps at the track while down on fuel pressure

next tune a fuel pressure sensor is going in and will add engine protection to haltech

If only someone would tell us what the pharken spring rates are.
