Recommended Posts

No worries mate.

Thats all you can do really, i didnt get the choice, just got given peanuts seeings as the car was never found unfortunately.

Looking to see how you end up, secretly hoping you keep it streeted.

Sad not seeing many 32's on the road hahaha.

ah man that sucks. Hope you moved onto bigger and better things?

haha secretly there is a chance for that happening....

i already see more ferraris/lambos than 32's these days...

They are getting rarer! especially the sedans

That's because they are all in the shop with farked motors hahahaha

or wrapped around a pole or defected or or or ahaha :|

i will keep an eye on your thread :thumbsup:

did a bit more work on it today. Headlights are finished and better than ever. I made up a custom shroud as before you could see through to the back it if 1" away haha (only i will notice the difference...).

Panels are off being painted and should be done shortly. After the it just needs matching LCAs put in and an alignment

Saw this, and thought it looked a little bit familiar. Looks like your car has turned up on the "Adelaide Japanese Car Spotting" page.

After over 2 years of knowing this guy AND both having Blue R32 four doors AND both being named Cameron. We finally got both of our cars in the same place at the same time and both running.

hmm, they the same but look different, i'd take yours over the other though.. looks tougher :ph34r:

The other one is a GTS4 though :cool:

That really highlights how much better square plates are! Both cars look great man!

yeah square plates definitely suit it more

Suddenly last minute surprise track day

on the 12th of November i found out there was a spot in a private day at Mallala the next day (13th). I had realised that after putting in the R34 LCA's and getting an alignment i was now getting a bit of guard rub.

I spent the day doing Uni work as exams were fast approaching and only started to to do car prep at 5pm. I went to get a guard roller from a friend and in the same outing i ended up borrowing a harness from another mate.

I also bought a fire extinguisher because safety.

The reason i found out about the free spot at the track day was thanks to my Blue R32 sedan friend pictured further up.

In my first session i popped some cooler piping off and had to take the fornt bar off to put it back on

I figured I'd just leave the bar off for the remainder of the day and save myself some zipties :rolleyes:

The Goodride RS sport tyres id bought over 20,000km and a few track day ago held up well and while not being the best tyre for the track, they were a good match for my skill level. bit melty but held up well

First time driving at Mallala and first ever grip day. Had a good time and car performed well with minimal issues throughout the day.
Drove it there, hammered it, then drove it home. You can't ask for any more than that!

Video
Unfortunately the Go Pro went flat before my best part of the day. Here is some matched footage from my Dash camera and a mark 1 Go Pro
Sadly this footage densest seem to contain a clean lap. warm up/dirt derp/driver pass/coolerpipe blow off
Skip to 2:17 for dirt derp. While not having any intention of setting time i managed to average a 1:27 what ever that means for Mallala

After the track day i thought i should confirm if the oil in my cooler pipes was from the motor or the turbo. so performed a quick compression test.

180+ psi and only +/- 5psi difference makes me happy. 3 years of NA+T life :rofl2: shout out to the people that said it wouldn't last 6 months +T'd

after the compression testing going well i wanted to get the full picture just in case. So I had a leakdown test done. Came back with extremely good results which meant i could go on to the next stage.

    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
    • Id like to race in the US i think alot of those track would suit me   For the s15? Youd be stuck between club sprint and the new Open Am wouldnt you depending on how much interior you have left in
