  1. Haha! Actually, no beers tonight. Gotta save them up for tomorrow
  2. I reckon the 3.9 would be the pick of the bunch, but bugger that!!!! $47377262862 !!
  3. Good thing you have that slow revving RB 30 at that rpm
  4. I can't bloody find the calculator I used last night for the 100 km\h rpm. Farken!
  5. 99 144 194 243 286 377 LOL...yeah, no!
  6. Bob, I worked out the ratios to go into a 34. God they're tall, too tall I reckon.
  7. Crazy eh. $5,000 for two sets of gears. Farken pull your head in, Nismo!
  8. For Micky Hill 265 / 35 x 18 tyre 8000 RPM limit 3.545 diff gears Optional Ratio 2 : 1st: 2.890 / 2nd: 1.981 / 3rd: 1.468 / 4th: 1.174 / 5th: 1.00 / 6th: 0.757 < - - those ratios 1 = 94 km/h 2 = 137 km/h 3 = 185 km/h 4 = 231 km/h 5 = 272 km/h 6 = 359 km/h Sounds a little tall! http://www.nismo.co.jp/omori_factory/original_menu/final_g/index.html Nismo 3.916 final drive. Don't look at the price Same ratios with the 3.916. Ohhh baby 1 = 85 km/h 2 = 124 km/h 3 = 168 km/h 4 = 210 km/h 5 = 246 km/h 6 = 325 km/h
  9. So, I went for a drive in Bobby's R34 this arvo. My mind is made up, the OS88 is one amazing bit of kit. There is a bit of a clunk between gears while doodling around which isn't a huge deal. When up it, its very smooth and effortless. I was so surprised at how user friendly it was. I jumped in the drivers seat and played with the clutch - that is NOT how I remember Steveo's OS R3C. Its actually lighter than my Nismo coppermix. It must have something to do with the OS fork which you can buy with the OS88. Yep... that's all I can say lol.
  10. Looks like a mid 90's jap drag car.
  11. Thing is, it's not like you're trying to find someone with an OS 5 speed. These things ain't cheap. I might flick Bobby a PM. One question I do have, whats the 'nicest' way of going from say 6th to 2nd. Is it a simple case of clutching in and pushing the lever up or should you try and match the revs with your right foot? You cant exactly clutch in, neutral, rev, clutch out and put in the next cog like you would a dog box.
  12. Scotty, bit late now. It's all done and all works. They were a new grind of cam (aggressive ramp rates). Having said that, it didn't take much for you to push the spring down while the cams were out. Point is 'catalogue shopping' and taking the blind freddy approach that 'is jap, is good' definitely isn't the right way to do it. Going a little off topic, back to pulling out VCT .
  13. Brett, that shows it quite well. Doesn't exactly crash and bang like I would have thought. I like where they have put the gear display. Cheeky little touch.
  14. Lol. Rightio mate. I'm not talking OEM parts, I'm talking what often is expensive stuff, aftermarket gear. I'll give you an example.HKS step two valve springs used with an aggressive custom made cam valve floated at around 5500 at 20 psi on my own engine. Pulled them out along with the mega dollar Jun Ti retainers and put in a a set from camtech. Not only did it not valve float but the retainers fit the spring much better, also 1/3rd the price! Exhausts, you'd be crazy not to get a custom one made. It'll fit better and not really be much more expensive. Nice pretty sard fuel rail - doesn't have a seat for the injectors to but up against. Waste of cash. Tomei manifolds - not worth the box they came in as they crack. I've personally done two sets and a mate has one off an Evo currently holding down the concrete in his garage. Cracked to hell. That's only a few examples.
  15. Swap you lamb for "bangers and mash"?
  16. Not far off it! Too many lambs on spits ,"reh".
  17. Give me a drive?I'm yet to drive a jb clutch that drives half decent.
  18. $600 for my springs and Ti retainers. Retainers were actually lighter and fit better than the 2 x more expensive jap crap. Once again, jap shit fails - won't buy jap again.
  19. I honestly don't like them. I've driven a few and found them too aggressive. Nismo hands down, only issue is that I need the centre to mate up to the rest. 3 months on, jim still hasn't got back to me if he can do what I want. However, his clutches won't slip. It'll spin the earth backwards before It slips. Haha
  20. Thanks, Eric. Rent it out and make others pay it off . In the mean time, it's all about writing stuff off.
