Happy Laps - Queensland Raceway 22-03-14


Recommended Posts

I more than likely will be coming (to this and the tuned performance dyno),

none of friends invited have committed as yet,

and hopefully the repair cost for the intermittent misfire on the silvia doesn't blow all my spending money.

Doesnt matter what you bring,as long as your there,just a great morning,i find these happylaps better than the ds ones,but thats just my opinion.

not long now,checked all my intake pipes and hoses,cleaned out the throttle body,and cam cover,took it for a quick squirt to make sure every thing was ok,now only have to wash,fuel up,and ill be ready to roll.Only way to keep reliable is by doing regular checks.ps,also did an oil change and filter,just because.

If you like actually going a decent pace around a track they are far better than the DS ones.

I did my first DS on the weekend, was good but to many cars, and also developed shuddering through steering when braking down from high speed. Any ideas I believe it could be rotors? Will hopefully get it in before Saturday's fun.

Is it really bad shuddering? I get some slight shuddering after my rotors heat up but as soon as I get on the road they are perfectly fine again.

List updated with cleared payments. If you haven't paid yet please DO NOT pay into our account now as it may not clear and be confirmed by saturday, just bring cash (preferably correct please) on the day.

Yeh only at high speed, and yeh seemed to be after about 45mins of driving plenty of heat.Driving back home at 100/110 seemed ok. Spoke to my mechanic tonight he reckons rotors more than likely, and i might get some new pads aswell.

    • 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.
