Race Suits/kits


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to get into a basic suit setup for the added protection and peace of mind.



Is there anything I should be looking out for?



Can anyone recommend a good pack that includes at the very least a suit boots and gloves?



Do you guys go further with underwear, balaclavas, socks, neck brace etc?



Is something like this considered good value?

That is excellent value. That seems perfect for what you do and need (assuming they are nomex material)

Of course you can get better suits ie 2 and 3 layer but you pay for that.

look at the protection the suits offer before decideing that it's something you need...

SFI Spec-----Time to Second Degree Burn in an approximation of a raging gasoline fire

3.2A/1----------------3 Seconds

3.2A/5---------------10 Seconds

3.2A/15---------------30 Seconds

I knew you'd pop your head in here Harry, I was waiting for you to jump in and dish out the details :)

This is very good to know.

3 seconds seems awfully short.

I wonder hot that compares to my jeans, leather shoes and a long sleeve cotton shirt lol

Those times are for radiant heat type of burns. Jeans aren't going to offer any protection from that.

Obviously the material is also highly flame resistant, which is another big advantage over cotton IF you are ever in a firey crash and can't get out.

You can get better and you can spend a lot more and you can try and buy things separately and save money but as a package that contains the lot the link you put up is cheap and easy.

It's like buying a helmet... $100 to $3000... what do you get??

I know the name sound's a bit dodgy, and I wouldn't recommend a race suit form Pakistan most times but,

a few of our local drifers got suits through this guy, and then a few local Tarmac rally guys used him as well,

and the quality seems very good, passed through Targa Wrest Point scrutineering with out a second look.

there rated to full FIA spec, are full custom made to size, and what ever embroidery you what, for the $499

    • Hello, I am looking to replace my two rear drive shafts in my R34 N/A Skyline but I'm finding conflicting information. Do S13/S14/S15 or R32 NA/ R33 NA fit? https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-rear-drive-shaft-l-h-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-3x2-type?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqY7EwDaYCUoUU3mxxZ_qrUXkVVHiV4MIN7ozoar6scjnEiekv- would this fit?
    • Hoping they release an R34 getrag pull type.  
    • You need the bottom spacers, to make it a 3/4 height injector. https://www.efihardware.com/products/3040/injector-adapter-lower-for-extended-nose-injectors   And you'll need to buy the right injector bosses, these "might" fit. You'll need to measure it up. https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/  
    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
