R33 R200 Pinion Oil Seal - Available?
sweefu replied to 25GTV's topic in Drivetrain and transmission
Check Taarks or email him if it's not online. I'm sure he would be able to get you one. -
Interesting that you cooked the Nulon. My car is a 200sx, possibly a bit lighter? I don't think you would continuously brake as often in a tarmac rally compared to circuit racing either which is why I might get away with it. There's often long stretches of road so things get a chance to cool down a bit

Just to shake things up I have been using the Nulon Extreme fluid in the yellow bottle for $7/500ml. I change it regularly but I've used it in all 5 (2 day) tarmac rally events I've done plus regular friendly track days without any issues at all.

How much is it? I've read around $90/5 litres

Bit quiet in this thread! I assume because of Facebook and associated groups? Has anyone been looking at attending the Snowy River Sprint later this month? http://www.australiantarmacrally.com/events.html Cheers

Has anyone used the new Nulon "Racing" oil? Cheers

I use Redline MT90 because its an actual GL-4 spec lube instead of Castrol and most other brands which are GL-5. The Nissan boxes are supposed to use a GL-4 although most people use GL-5, which apparently isn't good for the brass synchro gears.

Awesome to hear you'll be there mate, I will be there for tour class too. Fingers crossed for no rain! How are the repairs going?
-
Hey mate, how are you looking for the Snowy River Sprint? Cheers

Thanks very much for the feedback Duncan and recommendation about the higher pressure. I originally wanted the Hankooks but could only find them for $1800/set, so the Kumhos seemed like excellent value. Have you ever used them in damp conditions? The event I am using them in (Snowy River Sprint, Lakes Entrance VIC) is sometimes damp. Cheers.

I just picked up a set of 245/40r17 Kumho V70A in the K60 (medium) compound. I'll be trying them out at a tarmac rally next month. I think this tyre was more popular a few years ago. Although it's been manufactured quite recently (my set have a July 2016 manufacture date) it seems like they aren't as popular as the Toyos, Hankooks and Advans etc. From what I can see they should be a good medium budget tyre, my set cost $1100 all up, but the other brands were more like $1600 - $1800 a set.

Track day maintenance schedule Hello all! This has always been an interesting topic for me, but not one I can find a lot of info on. It would be great to get an idea of what kind of maintenance you guys do you on your cars each track day/race event. I'm not sure if what I am doing is enough, or overkill, or if i'm missing something critical which is important. I do mostly tarmac rally (up to 150km per day competitive) and some hill climbs/drifting/fun track days. To try and keep consistency across info i'll use sub headings: Frequency: Work: Frequency: Small service every event (events are either 1 or 2 days long) more major checks every 3-6 months or few events if I'm driving regularly Work: Small service: Engine oil and filter, wheels off the car and quick check for leaks/loose bolts/rubber boots, top up fluids if required Major service: Gearbox oil, brake/clutch fluid, thorough check of all bolts/inspection of parts for wear, pull out brake pads to check rotors/calipers etc Yearly (if not already done within 12 months): Air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, power steering fluid, coolant and diff oil (standard lsd) Should I be doing things more or less often? What is your maintenance schedule like? Cheers!

Hey mate, In my S14 I have an RB25 bellhousing, cut/shut with SR20 front, on a Z32 gearbox. Boom! The Z32 shifter lines up much better, at best you will need to clearance the shifter hole a few mm. The RB25 box requires a ~70mm half circle to be cut out of the front of the shifter hole, then you need a big dogleg shifter and it's not good. Feel free to PM me for more info.

Maybe it will be a bit quieter after break in? Did you settle on a break in procedure mate? I'm delaying the purchase of my diff, I didn't have enough time to get it done before my next event.

Thanks for the info Duncan. Which diff oil do you use? Do you still use the Nismo (Motul I believe) synthetic oil that comes with the diff kit, or mineral oil from installation? Also, do you have any recommendation or advice regarding the adjustable Pro or non-adjsutable models? I'm a bit stuck trying to decide.
