Sorry for super delayed reply! Don't come on here that often.... Thanks for subscribing, ye I think I will be trying to fit a decent cage mount for this season (whenever it starts) and also upgrading from the cheap copy Gopro to a genuine Gopro session.

Also took the time to make a video now I have some free time, the UK is pretty near lock down at the minute. Stay home and stay safe everyone! So this is the first part of replacing my front hubs/bearings on the s14a or kouki as most of you know it.

Dan. You gotta do [] YTHD (put into the bracket) PWa1P30atzs [/YTHD] to embed.

I also did a video. I'm going to check yours out meow.

Thanks just sorted the link out, think I posted it up about midnight originally lol.

Just subscribed to your channel that video was really well edited, I hate talking on video's but it definitely makes the video more interesting to watch.

I would have gone for a gktech twin caliper on my s chassis if the import duty to the UK wasn't crazy at the time..... Ended up with a homebrew set up but it works pretty well so not too bothered.

Look forward to the next video.

Yeah man, definitely have to get over that I guess. I don?t love the talking either cause I?m usually just BSing... it helps for everything I suppose. I?d definitely recommend outlining what you want to say so you?re not just rambling about crap like 99% of these videos! I?ll subscribe too man! I appreciate it.

Ye I tried talking in parts of the next video i'm in the process of making, the second part of the wheel bearing video.... It definitely makes the video better but I find I have to rehearse what i'm going to say and then get a bit jolted lol.

All practice though! Appreciate the sub, thanks :D

I have a channel for our Blue Bayou racing videos. We drive a 240SX with a VQ30DE, aero, and Koni race suspension.

We had Randy Pobst drive our car last year and I finally finished the video for that day:



I also have a video comparing my fastest lap of the weekend to his fastest lap:

Love all of your videos.

Thanks for taking the time to put them together.

Will go through and watch all the other vids in this thread later, lots of decent stuff by the looks of it! I've just made part 2 of replacing my front wheel bearings and swapping over the extended front studs....

We raced for three hours with only 5th gear.. and I still managed to barely beat my fastest lap with the KA driving like this!

240SX Endurance Race
 

There is a crash at 4:20 in the video.. leave a comment to say who you think is at fault.

Awesome road racing footage. Randy has such unique steering style. Had the pleasure of piloting some AER teams with him over the years.

Thanks! He is so amazing at giving feedback, I'd love to get him in the car again now that I've made changes based on his feedback.

As you can see I'm trying to make my way through some of my backlog of races. Only three sprint races, and three endurance races to go before I'm current. :)

What did you guys end up changing from his feedback? He noted the car was soft, what rates/bar are you running?

knate, the Porsche could have been slightly more patient. With 2 slower cars ahead/less braking potential, so even if he "squeezed" through, he would still have to content with 1 other car further ahead going into

From the looks of it, Porsche has more straight line handling than just about anything else in shot.

Yeah, patience is a virtue....

The shocks were set too soft, not necessarily the springs. We are running 8k/6k springs on a very light car. Then running a stock bar in the rear with a Sikky sway bar up front. He suggested trying to go softer with the front bar and cranking up the shocks.

We have also since swapped for GK Tech knuckles but have not had a chance to test them. Hoping the corrected roll center will help a little mid-corner grip. We also swapped to higher friction rear brake pads to help shift the brake balance.

Totally agree, those cars had been duking it out for quite a few laps and I think it made him a little more impatient. That Porsche definitely has some speed, but that Honda is no slouch! We have 190-200whp and he would walk away from me. The Porsche has since been fully repaired and is back in action.

How light is your car?

The last weight I can find was when we were corner balancing after putting on the coilovers and with the V6. It shows 2456 lbs, which I believe was with driver and cool suit cooler, not sure how much fuel, probably 1/4-1/2 tank. We did some extensive work with the plasma cutter when building the car, it's 22-something without driver and low on fuel.

I have most of the build of the car below. I didn't think to start doing timelapse until after I had already done most of the plasma work and cage was in. You can kind of see before we put the windshield in how the A-pillar bar runs up inside the hollowed A-pillar.



When we swapped in the V6 we gained around 25 lbs if I remember correctly, although it was all from the big transmission so a little further back.

The first of two sprint races from July of last year:

Second sprint race... this one had some epic battles with the Ecotec-powered Race Invaders Miata, then ended with an epic crash!

Damnnnn didnt know there was this thread!

I've got a youtube channel too!

I ended up playing with that 1st place SN95 at the ridge last weekend -- had a GREAT session with him. We were both on RS4s and it was a pretty good cat and mouse game.

I'll restate that I love your videos and the way you edit the passes together. Only Lucky Dog videos that I ever watch.

Thanks, I appreciate it! What is done to your car and how did it compare?

Standard NRR build -- 8611s, front progress bar, 550/400 springs, all spherical, ~320whp SR, OSG rear end, 255s all around.

He'd get away from me a bit on the straights but I could reel him in through corners. It was great fun.

I went to chat with him afterwards and together we lamented RS4s lol

Wow, 320whp and he was still faster in the straight? We only have 190-200whp right now and if we go VQ35 we're still only looking at 240whp or so..

RS4s are not too bad.. much better sidewall than the floppy RS3. I am a HUGE fan of the feel of the RE71R, but we also only got about 9 hours before they were bald in areas. The precision and grip of the RE71R is amazing. The next day driving on RS4s I went off track a couple different times trying to drive them like the RE71R. However the RS4s I can get 20+ hours out of and while they don't feel nearly as good, they are not *that* much slower once you get a bunch of heat into them.

He wasn't getting me by a lot, but it was also my 3rd session ever there, I learned a lot from following him around. I chatted with him a bit and he says their car makes 350whp.

Suggest you not try the a052. They're cottamned amazing but 2 track days' worth of life lol.


I figure I'll try re71s next or maybe just do something 100tw.
