The Bogan

I'm now thinking about putting all my running gear in a stock looking sedan,might have to Google and see how much they weigh.

Superlapandotherskidtypeofevents nationals ?

$1200

OK, I see where tor coming from.

Reasoning on this statement ?

From a novice point of view I thought sprints was initially built around road cars, those days are gone I assume and its whatever is the quickest being from dollars or talent will "win" the day. I understand some of the gripes people have, mine is people over/undertaking me mid corner in there race car when I'm in my daily. Rules are awesome, but rarely followed. My class would be "short fat men with more money than talent", I'm guessing that would be a big class.

Sounds like money well spent.

Alot of imports have dings in there rails from fork lifts moving them around in J. Better of getting a car with few good mods, for 8k now days you should be able to get a sweet 33, a turbo timer is useless and a defect in NSW. R34 GTT rims are win.

manly Listen See in Thesaurus adjective manlier, manliest having the qualities generally regarded as those that a man should have; virile; strong, brave, resolute, honorable, etc. fit for a man; masculine: manly sports Fatz

I would save the big dollar sump for the 26, just get a fitting or 2 welded to your stock 25 sump at the most, me I never had a problem with my stock 25 sump and stock oil pump on a stock motor, my problems started when I tried to run a Tomie pump with stock restrictors. And you can have some mild cams in there as the VCT is tunable to a point, mine does anyway.

I use 10w 40 whatever semi synth is on special and change it before every track day or 5000k, it never gets to 5000k though, only spend money on things you will be using with your new motor though, a sump vent is good, reason being alot of heavy plant use then to reduce sump pressure which in turns allows the engine to rev easier as its not trying to push against positive pressure. Mine runs return to sump catch can, head drain on the hot side, vent to the cold side and a remote restricter set up which is a story unto itself. As long as you can control the flow to the head you should be fine, me if I was you, with your Tomei pump I would keep VCT?, block the front and use 1 x 1mm restrictor at the rear like in the Sydney kid thread. I would fill it 1 ltr over full, and then check the can regularly for oil. I wouldnt do any other mods as you will not be using any of the parts on a 26 build. Then trash it till our new motor is ready.

2.7.1 Strength and Thickness The thickness, of non-intrusion panels, with gel coat removed, must be at least 3.5mm. Bonnets and guards are examples of non-intrusion panels The strength and thickness of structural components such as floorpans and bodies that incorporate seatbelt anchorages, door hinges and latches etc., must be certified by a signatory. The fixings for replacement fibreglass panels should have the same positions and must have at least the same strength as the fixings used for the original panels. A combination of steel and neoprene washers of a minimum 20mm diameter should be used with all fixings. Seat and seatbelt anchorages, door hinges and latches must only be affixed to fibreglass panels, floorpans or bodies that have been reinforced to take the loads such components are capable of generating both in normal use and in a crash. 4.3.2 Fibreglass and Other Composite Replacement Panels Original bolt-on metal bonnets and mudguards for pre 1971 (ADR 10) vehicles may be replaced with fibreglass or other composite panels that comply with sub-section 2.7, providing the modification does not increase the rigidity of the front structure of the vehicle and the collapsibility of the steering column on ADR 10 vehicle is not compromised. The catches and/or the design of the replacement bonnet must prevent it from being propelled through the windscreen into the cabin area in the event of a frontal collision. http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/pdf/NCOP6_Section_LH_Body_and_Chassis_01Jan2011_v3.pdf http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/vsb_ncop.aspx Links kindly supplied by Zebra

I haven't seen a race car without one, not that I've seen very many, I assume that if wasn't need they wouldn't have one. I liked the bit about bonnet vents, that is the reason I got the style I did.

Restrictors, that is all. edit; and oil cooler as it will be used for new motor, FWIW i never had a problem till I had a new motor put in which had a Tomei pump, even with head drains and a return to sump on the catch can. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/110680-oil-control-in-rbs-for-circuit-drag-or-drift/

Bilsteins are in my boat with King springs, for my streeter/ occasional track day car they are great, I had crappy G4 coil overs and now the new set up is much better on the street and the track, mine have the circlips to adjust the height, not the best way but they are 100 x better now than before. Only down side is my missus boobs dont bounce around as much.

I found him extremely helpfull, he inspected it, told me what was needed to be changed, remove T timer, plumb in BOV, remove rear seats and belts and such, and when I got it complient he signed it off. He even said that if I do any other mods he will inspect and approve if its all compient and It would only be cost plus a small fee, win.

According to this I have a green VW convertible, and I dont need padding on the half cage, I will leave the padding on there because I always bash my head on it when Im trying to drag stuff (fishing gear/tyres) out of there.

WORD

No mate, a guy that UNIGROUP knew. LOL, he had a Tarago 4WD with 600,000k on it.

I payed $980 for a car with about 15 mods on engine, suspension, brakes, seats, roll cage, diff mod, wheels, money well spent. Be aware that it still has to be legal, i.e no Atmo BOV, no turbo timer, needs a air box.

WTF, are you blind, what is the weeds growing in, its called a drain, the road slopes towards it, you just posted a link you may need to use.

LOL, true, but then the kids wouldnt have anything to whinge about, somebody call a WHHHAAAAAMBULANCE. In my opinion it just needs some 20mm spacers. Cops are tops, are you going in to stop the 7 foot hillbilly from smacking his kids, no, then harden the puck up and post something usefull. Haters gotta hate, I love haters, they make me LOL. Book em Danno

Dunlop Dirreza sport Z1 star spec are the best street tyres Ive had.

Double post. So After every power mod you should check to see if your fuel is keeping up with demand, otherwise budget in a new motor. Also fill in some pers info with at least location so we know where your from. Enjoy.
