  2. lol at least 90% of the cars entered would only qualify for sports sedans.....a couple wouldn't even meet those rules. no point worrying about rules being too restrictive at this event!
  3. Hi Stacey, "Red R Racing" is a business that is not a registered trader on SAU. As a result your for sale thread was removed. If you want to trade on here as Red R Racing please contact the trader admins Blitz or R31Nismoid.
  4. no lols at all....hope everything turns out OK
  5. Shouldn't leak but it is faily common. There is a flared fitting that goes into the back of the xfer case from the attessa pump....first thing would be to back it off a turn and then tighten it again, making sure it seats smoothly. I would use transmax in the transmission, transfer case, attessa pump and power steering, good stuff and keeps it simple. expensive though. I can't help with the auto trans but for the rest: power steering - disconnect the lowest line at the steering rack and let it drain. do it back up, fill up the PS resoviour. Start the car and turn the wheel from full lock to full lock a few times, it bleeds itself. transfer case - undo the filler plug, it is half way up on the driver's side. Always make sure you can open the filler first (although if its a manual you can fill via the gear shifter if you measure the amount). Undo the drain on the bottom, let the fluid drain out. Do up the drain and fill via the filler until a little fluid trickles out, then replace filler plug attessa - remove the line at the back of the gearbox and let it drain. a little lithium grease or similar on the threaded fitting then smoothly and carefully do it up again. Make sure it seats firmly. fill the resoviour in the boot to over max. rear of the car up on stands, out of gear, start the engine. crack the bleeder at the gearbox just above where the line goes in - it should pump fluid out smoothly. when no bubbles close the bleeder. Sometimes this does not work/is not enough, if not there is a second bleeder up near the diff you may need to bleed the same way.
  6. Interesting information from DFT came through today - turns out NSW Department of Water, Heritage and the Arts enforce fuel regulations. Random. http://www.environment.gov.au/atmosphere/f...mers/index.html They will want the fuel sample for testing. Even so, only the CTTT can make a binding order on the seller so I guess that is where I will end up.
  7. hey a soccer mum just called, she wants here double parking car back
  8. no personal experience with the new caliper, but I would love to hear from anyone that is using them hard.
  9. lol grog + antibiotics? maybe you are imagining the buzzing
  10. yeah sorry I should clarify - the ksport caliper is slightly different because it has different sized leading and trailing pistons, same total piston area. But the pads, mounting brackets, rotors, hats and brake lines are all the same. So just consider them "interchangeable"
  11. I run mine pretty high (360mm front, 350mm rear) because of the loads when towing. Plus the handling is excellent for such a big car like this anyway. I have bilsteins, whiteline springs and sway bars from sydneykid Could no doubt run 10mm lower without issue....but like any skyline chasis if you go too low you are going to stuff roll centres, get too much camber, get bad bump steer, and bad angles on cvs and driveshaft.
  12. ksport are the same as g4 are the same as d2. the ksport just aren't quite such a lurid colour I'm still running these, on the original (ex-targa) discs from 4 years ago, still going great.
  13. sorry Hugh, no idea.....when it's next not pissing down on me I will try on my car. Either way....is it running OK now?
  14. I would guess having put a badge on your race suit at one stage does not guarantee unlimited sets of tyres on every future car
  15. Good work...where do we send the $$?
  16. Yeah I run the standard level - I assumed the Apexi engineers know more about safe and dangerous levels than I do.
  17. yeah that is indeed a full sized tunnel....or that guy standing next to the car is a jockey. good news for the locals. now we just need a shaker rig.
  18. also there is a rear fog light instead of a second reverse light. BTW the windscreen de-icer is on a seperate switch but like Bob said the mirrors work of the main demister switch. AFAIK all of those items (cold area kit) came together - so if you had one you should have them all (Oh, that and rust from driving on salted roads - pretty sure that is a feature of the cold area kit too)
  19. I have no experience with these....but just wanted to note that square might be easy to fit but is a horrible shape to stop fluid splashing around. I guess a surge tank spends most of it's life full, but if not it would aerate the fuel like crazy in a square shape. Cancel all that if it is actually round or baffled in the middle.
  20. If you are running a PFC the cat temp or engine check light will already flash if knock exceeds a set level. If you want something larger than the dash light, just tap into the dash light's power supply from the ECU and run something bigger. We built a custom dash in the nugget with this setup using a 12v LED pilot light.
  21. google images? that was from my private vhs collection
  22. Ben has already been spotted working on a clay model
  23. The AP racing kits are about the best thing you can buy. Personally I would (and do) use the Ksport 8 piston kit for about $2k. But if you need the last 1/100ths in brakes the AP kits for about $6k an end are the place to go.
  24. BTW was just talking to a friend who know the Cyber Evo owner well - apparently this was it's last event and it is being retired. At least it went out on a high note....it won the world series.
  25. ahhh well the national and some of the state sports sedans guys would use it, and so would the Formula SAE, and so would holden and ford. And together that would book it out for about 1 month and then it would go broke Right now I understand the only tunnel here is the half size one at Monash.
