Duncan

lol update us in 10 years

good to meet you the other day Micah, your car looks great and is a well engineered package. just need some decent turbos on it...but sounds like you've got that underway already

where? AFAIK the only outlet in sydney is still the united in Roselle.

OK SAU times that I can see: 5 1 Duncan Forrest ARDC Nissan GTR 3800T 4D 15 3 1:40.1951 0:08.2986 7 112 Stuart Inwood LDCC Nissan GTR R33 4366 SVD 13 11 1:41.6945 0:09.7980 10 32 Marek Tomaszewski WRX Nissan GTR 3800 4D 18 7 1:42.8074 0:10.9109 17 41 Neil De Pau ARDC Radical 1298 5D 19 19 1:45.1524 0:13.2559 30 551 Mark Smith ARDC Nissan Silvia 1998T 4D 22 13 1:47.5754 0:15.6789 41 55 Brian Bugh NSWRRC Mazda R100 2616 4C 13 13 1:49.6721 0:17.7756 Obviously being used by some as superlap practice.... 9 421 Sam Markov BMW CC Nissan R32 2600T 4D 8 6 1:42.8008 0:10.9043 21 121 John Kennedy MASERATI Nissan GTR R32 2600 4D 7 6 1:45.9440 0:14.0475 BTW....I don't know if I mentioned after last round....but the NSW super sprint champs this year are by far the most competitive ever. My production race car would have come home in 35th in a field of 112. Huge amount of money being spent at the front for super sprinting...Andre that came home 1st 1 333 Andrie Tanuwidjaja NSCC Radical 2600 5E 17 12 1:31.8965 is in a brand new radical SR8....think $120k plus. Second was Chris Jackson's 6l chev calibra sports sedan that runs in the state race champs. 3rd(!) was a F3 car. 4th was Geoff Brown's State Race champs sports sedan.

well....another round today....where are the updates???

when is the next round?

I'm surprised they specificlly said it will not fit gtr....every one I've seen fits both. In any case, the 32/33 gtr gearboxes are interchangeable so it doesn't really matter which gearbox your car has.

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
