NismoR34

I am a definate 'maybe' at this stage - I am want to come but may be tied up with other commitments...so I havent posted in your other thread...I will just turn up on the night if I can get out!!!

we're not all mechanical engineers you know esski or are we ?

wonder if they sell monster tacho's :confused:

Jet: maybe yours is a series 1.5 In all seriousness now, wouldnt a Blitz ECU be better than a piggyback ECU? EDIT: PM checked fair enough

/me goes to check events section. I may be able to come not sure yet, the in-laws are auctioning there house on sunday...they may be celebratin that night...I will have to wait n see if i can go, sounds good though!

If you are still getting quotes - they will come to YOU! I crashed a previous car about 2.5 years ago and had 3 different repairers come out to inspect my car at my house and quoted me by phone later [after getting parts costing]. Simple - no towing needed! If you are happy with current one then dont worry

hey, are you talking to ARGH or Me Ronin? I will take it, if it suits - after all *I* am nismoR34 + ARGH34 u already got yours I didnt know there were different sizes.

Actually, the guy I know can probably fix it for ya too. Or at least get it done cheap!

You are round the corner from me - free BUMP nice car btw, I havent seen it in the flesh but I can imagine mine is black...

I know u havent mentioned it but do you have a thermo fan? And if so how much would you want? Also are all of the above stock items? Like rear spoiler, suspension etc. Thanks

Sorry to hear about this too Max, thinking of ya. That sucks major bollocks... I used to have a good panel beater but lost track of him. If you wanna sell the wreck though as-is let me know cause I know a guy that will probably take it off ya [for a price of course ;]

I think I will go for a similar thing to you ARGH34, nissan key blank. Though I have seen some Nismo ones for closer to $50...

i voted yes, but would prefer a low-key-stealthy type sticker, nothing too big...my car doesnt have stickers or badges!

Nice! [i wouldnt wanna cut my front bar up either] Look forward to hearing your success story

I have heard the track is better than calder - cant remember why though [grip possibly]. i was hoping it didnt have the burnout area just before the launching site for dragging. i dont need to warm up my radials. I am hoping for a high 13 [with a good launch]. I have figured out that in my car launching with TCS turned on is best [possibly an unfair advantage ]. R34GTTR: i would not call yours a "stock box" ? Dont you have intake/boost/exhaust mods ? what else?

*Edit* Yeah, I agree

Does this mean normal BP premium? Or Ultimate? Please specify, there is a big difference! My theory is if we start with a full tank that day we will be fine, average skyline gets around 400k's. approx 220k's used for traveling and that would leave almost half a tank free for the drags - and you dont wanna race with a full tank anyway. My helmet isnt CAMS approved but should be ok for drags again [good to have yours as backup though]. Btw: I only have a standard clutch and I wont be treating it any worse than on the street! Slippage = take it easy... Sorry about all my posts, I am just really looking forward to this - is that such a bad thing and I dont wanna have anything go wrong!

Straight Six Shooter - I assume you are NOT joking though, if you are then

asking why a str8 6 is better than a v6 is a valid question imo. I have read auto books that refer to the V as "VEE". Basically it depicts the orientation / configuration of the engine - V shaped and equal cylinders on each side v6 = 3+3, v8 = 4+4, v10 = 5+5, v12 etc... I dont know how or why the straight configuration is intrinsically better though..[or if it is]...

he he, sorry mate. Just co-incidently browsing through the same threads...there is not enough talk on 34's...well its picking up a bit it seems. Anyway I asked Niz34 a question not you /end off topic.

Nissan asked me for the "model number" of my car when I called to ask about parts. The guy then proceeded to find and quote me for parts for my car [ex -japan]. I am sure they would be able to answer these questions from their resources [online].

The one-on-one / racing against each other is GREAT! This is where calder sucks big time. I have an old-ish helmet that I have used before at calder, anyone got a spare for me just in case? I didnt think cars needed to be RWC for the track [just need drivers license]? maybe I need to bring a spare windscreen with me in case I hit a blow-fly on the way up? Some of these q's are serious.

There is a chip [PCB] inside, you can see it after undoing the screw but I think its only related to the remote central locks. Sorry I may not be much help - but I want to know the answer to this also [driving around without a spare key is asking for trouble]. BUMP

a long shot: but I know JB hifi sells cartridges seperately. You could try them, Dick Smith or Radio Parts ~ I think one of those should be able to help you out. If not you may have to wait a until yelo comes back!

just jokes sniffy! - though i do see a crapload on the road
