Roy Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 So it looks like the 18th & 19th September at Phillip Island. Its a big ask but if Geoff and i get our hands dirty then im a chance. As soon as the mechanics fix my door we can get started on getting the thing running again. And im being serious, does anyone know of a cheap daily driver getting around, Say under 2k.

GTRgeoff Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Bring it on mate. I'll show you why the army trained me as a rapid combat repair specialist. As the saying goes "It doesn't take me all day to do a days work" I'm now in the process of ensuring the turbo stays tight and getting the brake pedal height adjusted so the new MOMO carbon racing pedal set is perfectly positioned for H&T. Might even pull the master cylinder out and the calipers and service them all.

Troy wants the RB20 replaced, Roy wants an RB26 Roy vs Troy , who will win :fight!: ...truth is its not really up to us, it depends largely on circumstance and where things fall Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/49467-team-wang-phillip-island-report-and-pics/page/5/#findComment-992701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 *shakes fist violently at Roy for taking up too much of Geoff's expertise* Maybe the two of you can help me with my RB25 when it lands in a month or so.

When are the Super Fun Happy Slider crew going to take on Team Wang... a bit of healthy rivalry is good. Your GTS can go up against me, you will only have to last more then one lap and they will have me smoked :goddam: Do you need a nice TD06 for your RB25 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/49467-team-wang-phillip-island-report-and-pics/page/5/#findComment-992738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRgeoff Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Shan we'll be done well before then mate. All help is welcome too Chris. We were a good team Saturday night . Without your comments I would have taken heaps longer to start bashing the wastegate with the hammer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/49467-team-wang-phillip-island-report-and-pics/page/5/#findComment-992747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hammer...why im outraged...how dare someone show my car so little respect. Oh actually its not like you dented my door and punched my sump in or anything?!?!?! :slap: The plan is hatched, just have to suss when the door is getting fixed and see if the spanner session gets done before or after. Im thinking before otherwise i could be waiting to late in the month.

benm Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I found the RB74/Comp2 combo great at Wakefield, no real issues all day and I did almost 90 laps. I'm using DBA4000 slotted rotors front/back on my R33 GTS-t and they weren't dusty at all. They did squeel under light braking but were fantastic... when hot. For my 5km daily trips they were overkill so i've gone back to some cheap 2nd hand standard nissan pads which... don't have any bite but do work well enough from the very first stop. Sounds like PI is quite a high speed trap... I think I need atleast 5 pairs of underwear for the day going on the speeds you guys were doing. In the wet you would have had to drag me into the car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/49467-team-wang-phillip-island-report-and-pics/page/5/#findComment-992766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yep, get it done early rather than later. I imagine the people involved could take quite some time to do your repair..... unfortunatly. I'll be sure to bring along the cheap burbon. Oh and piss off you aint getting any bits off my beast.

funkymonkey Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 well atm I drive with 0 lag, and a td06-25g is a laggy beyatch, so I wanna keep the turb spoolin while I corner Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/49467-team-wang-phillip-island-report-and-pics/page/5/#findComment-992789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 What do you mean by lag? At a place lieke PI you wont have to worry, i found with very little chance for practice i could drive around the poor boost response of my turbo setup. I have jack all lag, but pretty weak boost threshold. As for while you are cornering, ppl that know way more then me have my car setup so it turns very nicely whilst im on the throttle (feathered not to the floor) so power delivery is nice and progressive on corner exit. A place like Winton, ummm , forget about it. I think any mildly modded Skyline would be frustrated around there as there isnt too much opportunity for wide open throttle blasts.

funkymonkey Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 a misfiring system helps you coming out of corners too, not just on wide open throttle blasts... basically it evens out the response of a car, giving it the best of both worlds, speed of a turbo and constant response like an N/A (which I'm used to).
