Duncan

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

fear not...its all interchangeable. the internal changes were only in s3 r33 (other than push vs pull) but thats about it.

gtr brakes on the rear of mine now. easier than finding factory replacements....

Semis or not, I reckon if the open cars aren't down to super car times (ie 1.32) there has been a shitload of money wasted! remember the taxis run small slicks And I've got to say again, I am amazed how little track time the international drivers have done, even the best drivers will not do their best laps straight up.

It will be a problem if it is CAMS only, unless they run the event for us. We do not have the required trained CAMS officials (CoC, Stewards, Flaggies) to run an event like this on our own.

lol Ash is posessing Steve-o! Anyway.... Yes people buy from them every day Every week or 2 someone starts a thread about them taking too long. expect 4-6 weeks like they say They are cheap Expect little to no warranty or support - so make sure you order the right thing, or the price won't look so cheap. If you want the right thing, today, support a local business

I;ve only changed the drums once, and that was froma reakly old and fcuked hub. They are the same as most other drum shoe replacement jobs....fiddly but not hard. If you haven't done them before just keep careful track of the direction of pins and clips and the order you take them off. Remember to adjust them after the disc is back on so that they don't quite touch with the handbrake off. Its a good opportunity to back off the adjuster in the cabin and take the slack with the adjuster on the cables under the car. BTW why buy aftermarket drum shoes? standard ones are perfectly capable of holding (or if necessary locking) the rears when adjusted properly.

lol flux capacitors.....one day mine will see the sunlight again. stay away from the cheap willwood callipers they are poor quality and flex like crazy. obviously their expensive stuff is as good as anyone else's expensive stuff. the only brakes i would spend money on for a budget build are the ksport/d2/g4/whatever 8 piston ones. I have 3 sets of them on different cars, they are excellent

thanks for the details Trent...have just been trying to work out the best floor. ANything needed to maintain it once it is down? BTW +1 for tyre racks...take up very little space but free up heaps. I have 13 tyres on my verandah and 4 more at Neil's place.....

yay for chinese junk works damn fine on my rb30

I think it would be a great idea, we have a lot of trouble with getting available weekend times for our regular events like Wakefield Park and the Nirimba skid pan. Can you check out the cost to book, recommended max number of entrants, and who can provide insurance/permit (hopefully AASA).

Thanks for the details to Nick - I have organised time off work to be at both

I run one in the race car and find it fine.

Hi mate, Paul is on here as MountainRunner. Let me know if you can't catch him I can probably dig up alternative contact details.

lol what would I know about tyre performance eh? Since I was trying to be polite before.....you would have to be a real dickhead, more interested in what you think looks good rather than performance, to run a tyre stretched beyond manufacturer and tyre fitter recommendations. Now way do you have some amazing secrets that the rest of the world hasn't caught on to. Let me know when you find any sort of race car (where tyre performance is paramount) running unsafe stretched tyres. In the meantime I'll stick to putting the right sized tyres on the right sized rims.
