is there an online place where i can check out prices of things like harnesses (no not ur ones denham i want ones that will actually protect me lol), bonnet pins and helmets etc

tried revolution but i couldnt find the prices... i wanna get some bonnet pins... some harnesses and stuff before i get on the track.

LOL, my harness work fine, i might use one at sandown to prove it. Will Scrutiny check for any labels on the harnesses?

I didn't think fuel itself will add any more power,  rather with better fuel you can run more advanced timing, compression etc. without encountering detonation.

Its the raising of the detonation threshold, which allows more aggressive timing / boost etc that will give the extra hp.

ie: If your car is tuned to run on pulp and you add a tankful of av or any other fancy brew you will not see an increase in power without altering your tune.

A car like Denham's has Enough Power™ so in a case like his the hotter fuel simply offers better protection to detonation, old fuel, weird load conditions, boost spikes, heat, blah, blah...

If you tune the engine to make the most of the better fuel then you are back to square one as far as "headroom" goes. If you are chasing more power then it is all good though.

sorry i put my life in the hands of FIA approved not YCP (Yum Cha Performance™ )

:D

Ni - sounds stupid but I was told on Sunday by Ron that Autobarn currently have some FIA Approved - dated until 2009 - 3" - 4 point Harness for sale for $399 that looked really good. Can't tell you much else about them however.

LOL... hell i plan on driving around without my seatbelt or harnesses done up.

If i crash i dont want to walk away, actually it woudlnt be a bad way to go. Just remember to try and salvage my semi slicks as someone else might be able to use then in an afternoon session :cheers:

If you lunatics start running $4-8/L fuel then the days will soon get mighty expensive. I one tried VP racing fuel (110 for 20L), made no performance difference without the retune.

It did run cooler and idle way smoother, but stuff all performance difference...but hey knock yoursleves out, actually you will knock the birds out of the trees as you all drive by :)

Fancy fuel or not BRI-58Y is still gonna blow the door off all of you. (I think Nige has put some C4 in the boot :Bang:

Roy - you an add:

benjamin74 and Emre (the 2530 R33 GTR twins) to the list. Its going to be one hell of a skylines presence! lol  

Maybe we can hold ou own track days!

Kool thats 11:) If we can get another 4 or 5 cars then this will truly be a trackday of extraordinary magnitude! :D

New SAU - NSW Policy to be applied for all SAU- Vic events, cheaters with 4wd are not allowed to run cheater tyres, unfair traction advantage :flamed:

oooooooooo i was wrong i do get paid bfore then!

hmmmmmmmmm i'll download the form... if i cant get there in the ceffy and we still have the soarer i'll use that :D

Don't panic about the noise - they take the tests from 50m away. Trust me - have you ever heard a full blown 69 Mustang with a 7L Donk go past at full revs? Makes an import sound damn quiet. And there are 2 that race on these days noproblems.

Basically if you have an exhaust you will be right. You won't get done for noise.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
