Hi All,

Ive been around for a while, and owned an slx for a couple of years doing some minor mods to it. Ive always wanted to get an lx (lighter and better for my needs then a super s), and last month I finally found one in Melbourne that looked like this...

Nismo Strut brace

...

After this stage I think i should be very content for a while! I enjoy competing at the local hillclimb, but I still want the micra to be fun on the roads. I'm not fussed with massive power, and will always keep it na. Ive still got the slx too, she has been a great car to me.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for the knowledge and help provided.

stage 1 comes in ceramic, organic and ceramic cusion button. basically step up from HD. better friction materials, stronger diaframe, triple drive straps and better piviot point mod. Had to be custom just like 190mm datrats HD.

for now just straight! (slight toe out on front).

LF was at +5.2deg toe out and the panhard rod had the rear axelout 2cm to the right after all the suspension changes. now 0.3deg toe out both sides, and axel is straight. Apparently the supension guy couldnt get any neg camber out of the bc strut tops whithout fouling, so ill look into that, or put in my camber bolts. Id like to run around -2deg camber on the front.

Got confirmation for my motorkhana entry tyrie, thanks, looking forward to it!

can you get -2deg using the bolts? It doesnt surprise me that you cant get any out of the top, there isnt much room to move.

Does more than -2deg induce traction issues?

Good news re. khana, you'll love it :D

to be honest i have no idea how i got that much neg camber on the front, i dont know what camber bolts are in it, i set it in for a wheel alignment and told them i wanted as much neg camber as possible and it came out with -4 one side and -4.4 or something on the other...

yeah according to whiteline the camber bolts are only good for -1.5 deg. Although you can run two on either side (one on top and one on bottom) for more - but then youve got all your suspension held up with undersized bolts which are known to slip occasionally....

thats where franks technique comes in handy.

did some timed testing today, rolling in second gear, floor throttle start timing at 2000rpm stop timing at 6500rpm. Full tank with passenger, 8 runs, 4 in either direction.

Stock engine average: 7.42sec
GA15de Throttle body, stock everything else, average: 6.99sec

Pretty happy with that and the TB should keep on improving once i free up the rest of the intake system and exhaust.

thanks darthpunk, full photo credits go to my girlfriend though! id always wanted a white one, and its living up to all my expectations!

ndxxx ill make sure i keep measuring what i do and posting - the amount of help ive gotten from old posts in this forum makes me hope i can put something back.

Also at the recent hillclimb i got a pb of 53.63 (making all the mods all the more satisfying!), although fellow forum member tyrie is keeping me honest with a 55.45 with nothing but 185/55 semi slicks!

motorkhana on the 3rd should be sweet!

Ga15 tb will give you dead spots in low-mid range, also if you have a/c idle motor wont compensate and stall. it shaves less than half second, but how often do you full throttle) try 2-4800k see if it makes any difference ;)

I would assume he is at full throttle pretty much 100% of the time when it counts (on the track).

Good stuff Joel :) Lora is bringing her k11 to wakefield on the 9th (I'll be in the 1600), you should come! (Unless you are entering hillclimb the next day, I'm not lol almost fell off my chair when I saw the price!)

I dont have ac (happyly!).

I agree with the flat spot under low throttle mycra, and its definetly not ideal and ill try and adress it down the road. I might do some timing under part thottle later on (although ill need an even longer road!!).

Also as tyrie said, alot of my driving is on the track (with full and part throttle) so im happy to sacrifice some low range if i can get more top end. Half a second is huge to me.

Yeah no hillclimb in april for me tyrie, but thanks for the heads up for Wakie, ill have a think about it!

Cheers

No hillclimb yesterday? Sorry I was a bit preoccupied when you said hi...

I did a low 49 in the datsun, so happy with that! The guy in the orange gemini coupe was out on what looked like toyo r1r's and was doing 51s, pretty sure he was doing 56s last time out!

hey mate its all good i understood you were busy! Id like to check out your 510 someother time tho, looks sweet. last hillclimb just wasnt going to work for me- but super stocked to hear your time! When i saw that your first run was a 51 i was expecting you to get under 50's!

Ive just ordered some r1r's so im excited to see how they compare!

cheers

haha thanks for the pic buddy!

Im not sure my times - ill just wait till the e-mail. I really struggled on the last two layouts. I didnt like that the second track was much the same all day - not that thats the problem, they were just so tight that there wasnt much fun.

I enjoyed watching you in the datsun, was very entertaining!

I'm looking forward to testing the r1r's at the hillclimb - gonna try keep up with your datto! :) (ive been looking at renaut clios too, that guy at the hillclimb has gotten into the 46's hasnt he?)

Yeah Reece is doing rediculous times in his clio, but he's a freak driver and would do awesome times no matter what he was driving! I'm looking at the model before his one, the 182, preferable F1.

I'm not sure if I'll have the datsun at the hillclimb, kinda ruined my street tyres at the khana lol
