Just spotted grey S2 UFO 88* in gladesville. makes a nice noise

maybe pull the vipec out and replace it with a power fc? they always idle like factory

pretty much any decent machine shop and many workshops can mill the surface flat. For gasket I would always buy one....surely there is something available somewhere for the turbo outlet you have. If it fits, the Nissan factory ones are excellent quality

Have a great trip Sam, and thanks for all your hard work as a Mod on SAU, and on the club committee

It would be a full day's work for a workshop assuming you have a few missing bolts. Don't start the job yourself unless you are confident, snapped studs are hard to remove and your car would not be mobile. btw I disagree with the post a couple above. Assuming the car is running smoothly and you are happy with how it is performing, it is not urgent. You won't get any "worse" damage from continuing to drive it....you will just slowly lose power as the leak gets worse.

Standard stuff should not be making any sort of screaming noise. the only time I've heard somethign I would describe as screaming it was stuffed bearings in the turbo core. Next closest noise I've heard was a nasty manifold leak. either way....they didn't leave the factory with any sort of "screaming" noise

I guess you are not going to enjoy the lag from a simple turbo like kkr on an rb20, I think the 33 highflow is a better choice. having said that, I run kkr480 on my rb30, it is perfect for what I need (cheap, spools very early, enough top end for the real world). Made 250awkw at 16psi before the standard injectors ran out of flow.

cubes are damn good...try one Liz. I'm trying to convince my mum to buy one, perfect for her. they are slugs, not for me....but good otherwise

yep....easy if there is no plenum on top of the motor just watch the seals (cam cover seal, and the little half moons). Probably worth replacing them while the covers are off.

sorry mate....anything with little gears that go round and round I give to someone to fix. So diffs are out of my abilities as are gearboxes and xfer cases. this is what i did: 1. remove diff and take to diff shop 2. tell them "This diff is not tight enough, I want this to clunk when it goes around corners" 3. come back 2 days later and give them $400 4. put it back in car and love it. so no idea of the exact shims, number, type or thickness. but the guys certainly knew what I was talking about and delivered exactly what I wanted.

thats all cool, and I often buy stuff I can wait for os as well when I'm in no rush. Just understand that if you order the wrong injectors you will be paying twice! And any mistake will take ages to sort out if yuo have to send stuff back. Don't see what they have done wrong there? You paid in yen, you got refunded in yen. Would you be calling them shady if they exchange rate went up in between? Or are you saying it was Nengun's fault that Trust went broke

pretty sad day today....but it was great to see such a big turn out including from on here. The church was literally full. Sheri, I guess we will see you on Monday

depends really....if you want big power from your fuel e85 is a no brainer. but if you would still like to move around quickly but spend less on fuel, LPG is very do-able. Mark has had his lpg gtr running now for 12 months although I think he never updated the thread....probably got sick of people telling him it could never work, so he just did it.... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Lp...html&hl=lpg

not only can you do the mechanical centres...they come up much better than the lsd centres. i run a shimmed factory diff in my race car I vcan't think of any reason to buy a mechanical 2 way centre for a gtr...what they have does the job perfectly. 1 or 1.5 way centres are better of course but that is a different discussion

that reminds me of the testing a guy in the states did for his front splitter.....no good trying for 200kg downforce if it can't hold 200kg

that....is a VERY selfish attitude. WTF? I want free forums full of good information where I can read, post and download as much as I want while someone else pays for it!

Ferds owns that car now, and AFAIK the IPRA car is still for sale. Dave the car looks great and I suspect more has been developed there than just a paint job. You guys have been leaders in racing skylines in Australia for years including state and national titles where everyone said it could not be done.....I'd love to see you make a big impact on this event too. All the best, my $2 are on you guys

haha get stuffed both of you good to see the times tumbling Stu....I'm sure it has a couple more seconds over the next 12 months with more development which makes this about the quickest GTST going around

no matter how good the o/s drivers are, a day or 2 practice at EC will be a second, and 5-10 years practice at EC is another second. As I said earlier I am really surprised they are not out practicing all the time given the amount of money invested in the cars and getting them here. the interesting thing about this year is we know or can make good educated guessesabout how quick the local cars will go because they have lots of recorded lap times to check.....

very surprised it didn't fit - every skyline brake bit I've put on mine bolted straight on....I've run gtr front and rear brakes on it now? what was the problem, did the adapter hit on something? Either way Im sure UAS will refund.

For those who aren't already aware, Christian (PranK, forum owner), and his wife Bec had a baby girl on the weekend! By all accounts, thankfully, she doesn't look anything like Christian Congrats from us and bananaman!

Ahhh I see what you mean, I just got hit with the Lewis Homo ad by accidently waving my mouse near the top corner.....and the reply page did not finishing loading until the ad finished. As Ash said I'm suspect Christian is not aware of or did not agree to such intrusive ads, but it may still take more than a day or 2 to action BTW Mr Wooster....you have dribbled enough on these pages that its time for you to donate once the facility is back up and running

yeah for the handbrake,inside the rear disc. seriously, try nissan. you may be surprised, particularly if it shares with a local car.

Paul couldn't possibly quote a sell price on here, because of course he is not a trader I guess he's just bought a lot of them for himself.

lead acid battery often won't survive being dead flat - its possible it just won't hold a charge again. I've lost a few over the years by leaving them dead for too long. dry cell batteries handle this sort of thing pretty easy
