$50 + postage from Melb. It is from my 220,000km old car so no guarantee it will feel tight when you install it as naturally the uni will be worn

Any cracks in the subframe? Mine had a few
-
Sorry... EBC. What brand?
-
Exciting race... Could have been a good race. Seems Alonso so and Button are the only ones that race and leave other room now. Hatchet jobs are far too common.
-
So you say etc is used... What type?
-
Got a graph? I would have thought an 18G would have almost std response and capable of 240-250rwkws and the problem being boost falling off both spiking
-
I get that these ones are RUBBISH These ones Look as though they at least stand half a chance of not being junk
-
What turbine housing are you running? Any pics? There are a few different versions now...and the latest offering which is a Skyline specific T3 "looks" right compared to the avomination housings they use to offer as their internal gate, T3 offering. If someone wants a new 18G cheap I have one laying around which is no good to me since my 20 overheated

Lol, yeh...i really want to run GTX2860s with Tial 0.63 A/R turbine housings with the T04B style comp cover with 3" inet and 2" outlets, all high mounted with twin Tial 8mm MVS gates. Would be schmick setup but defeats the purpose of me going from the single as i need to go to a std looking setup on a std 26 to keep enjoying my car on the street. Nobody cares about my race seats, half cage, brakes...all they care about is under the bonnet

Need a full GTR tank, straps etc from an R32. So really need someone wrecking an R32 in Melbourne. Also need some do days so if you have an R32 being parted I need misc trim bits
-
Not worried about the money as much as do i get to run one of these filters for 2 years stress free? Does their smaller physical size mean i need to clean them at shorther intervals...do some brands leak thru o-rings (or is that internet chatter BS?) Mostly i cant find a 5 micron filter as the Bosch one i run is 5 micron and good for years.. I am guessing 10micron is fine given its all they seem to be offered in?!
-
I don't care if twins or singles or semantics of the debate as there are loads of variables.... But one very good point is I would love to see the singles performance with the gate plumbed back so it's at least attempting to be a street able road car. My experience, albeit at ~300rwkws and 80mm exhaust is it makes a huge difference to power, response and ignition the tune can take when switching external gate to plumb back...as an observation the quality of the front pipes seem to have a decent impact on twins too. That said...if there was a reasonable process to getting a single thru roadworthy i would stick with a single every time....just for convenience and simplicity when banging around on track
-
So how long do these Earl type cleanable fuel filters last before they need a clean? Currently running a Bosch motorsport 5 micron filter and about to replace it... Not sure it's worth paying twice the price for reusable ones as they look a ways smaller
-
God i hope not...boring Fezz line up....i want some fireworks. Put an emotional and fast Frenchman in there to see how fired up they all get when the German starts getting emotional. It will be status quo with Bottas
-
Romain blew up when he had a shot at a win in Spain...would have won given Vettel blew up iirc. He moved over repeatedly for Kimi...when Kimi announced he was leaving and wasnt given on track preference look at the back half of 2013. I know i am a fanboy but the guy trounced Kimi in 2013 and despite a turbulent 2012 qualified well and had some good races to go with the bad

R32 Gts4 - Restoration/rebuild
Roy replied to Chris Rogers's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Ah, the man with answers. Looking at your FB pics i see a GTR tank. Are the GTST tanks all the same steel tanks or do the awd cassis have their own type of tank? I ask as i want to put the plastic GTR tank into my rwd GTSt and some say they dont bolt in? Can you clarify what needs to be done? -
34Geeteetee Daily / Track Project
Roy replied to 34GeeTeeTee's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
So who did your Accusump setup? Can you describe the install? I am about to rip mine back out and go about it another way...lol not sure if I am getting too clever for my own good. As my unit is in the boost hard up against the back of the seat behind the strut tops I am relocating my valve to the engine bay..thinking is it should react a little quicker only having to pressurise 60mm rather than 2m of 10AN line running under the car -
R33, New Brake Upgrade Idea
Roy replied to hardsteppa's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Wing...you have A-O link in your sig. Are you the fella behind the EVO-Brembo kits? If so can you actually speak to the point FBRacing makes about over braking....having too much force when all you really want to achieve is sufficient cooling? I ask as I have run way too many brakes and didnt like the F50 -355mm setup. I found the F50 was ok on a 324mm setup but not as good as the F40 setup. I currently run F40 sized 4 pot caliper on a 343mm and am trialling a smaller piston area again on a 343mm once I get the car back on the road. I have still found the best caliper rotor setup that you can bolt onto a Skyline is the 6 pot AP CP5555 caliper. It is no accident that it runs less piston area than std and results in awesome modulation on cars with the std booster setup and no ABS. The EVO Brembos with their 46 and 40mm pistons are huge and having experienced the feel difference from going from AP CP5555 to F50s on the same rotor size with similar pad...well, they had a lot more bite and far easier to lock. Though found they were still ok to modulate. Going from F50 with its 44/40 pistons to the EVO Brembo with 46/40 is a fairly big jump again on the front of a Nissan If you are running 324mm in a 17" wheel I think its a no brainer to stick with what you have...and just optimise. I know my car was fine with those brakes for years and I kept going back to them after trialling various brake setups as they performed so well and in some cases worked better. I only gave up on them as the car has quite the appetite for front rotors as Sandown was hard on brakes so moved to a 343mm rotor with a better, more snug radial mount caliper to fit under my 17" wheels. -
Interesting read.... http://plus.autosport.com/premium/feature/6594/choosing-a-driver-for-f1-in-2016/?_ga=1.134916533.59034415.1433521511 I am biased but hoping the fact that Ferrari were in serious contract negotiations with Romain pre signing of Vettel means that giving Kimi the boot at the end of the year should see him promoted. Hulk, deserves a good seat but I am rooting for James Allisons time at Lotus and suspicion that he was a driving opinion behind discussions with him last year will see a rocket put up Vettel to ensure that both drivers are pushing to keep Fezz at the pointy end...something Kimi cant do Hulk...give him Massa's seat. He is driving well this year, but I understand there is an option for next year...and frankly time for some new blood and reckon Hulk vs Bottas would be a great combination for Williams and their best chance to stepping up against Mercedes next year Oh...and FOM still havent called me about a job for next year

Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau
Roy replied to Duncan's topic in Motorsport Builds
Nice...I have done all my rear end in silver too. Should be easy to pick all the leaks in my car -
God Lewis talks shit! In BBC interview he has stated how "its funny" that as an 8yr old the parents of other kids he catted against used to tell him that he didnt have it. His teachers at school and headmaster said he wouldnt achieve anything.....WTF is this guy on about with his victim complex!!!!

Didnt bother with his other book
-
Doesnt matter what the bar is...just use some 450 mild steel bar nachuned flat on two sirfaces and turn down the end to the id of the tube diam. Then do a full pen but weld...wouldnt hurt to dowel or plug weld a 4mm pilot hole through the bar-insert just for insurance

Williams are rather sgit at strategy. Lotus in 2013 got it right with Romain...give yourself track positiin and stay in the fight as long as possible. They were 1-2 and simply got stage fright...no matter what Smedley says. Rain came and mattered for 0 anyway. Meanwhile Dan sucked...Lotus sucked....but finished MWs book and wasnt a bad read There was talk of links of Flav to Aston but wont happen. I love how Pat is a clean skin yet Flav is tarnished by Singapore events...even though cleared by FIA of having knowledge...unlike Pat. Really hope Bottas doesnt go to Fezz...Hulk has done so much kore to deserve to be there...Bottas cant even outqualify Massa at the moment
