Duncan

nope, but it is another duncan from on here (LSX-428), in fact he just won the 2009 NSW supersprint champs yesterday. haven't seen the letter though guess I should browse at a newso lol

omg this thing was designed before nissan learned about "curves". clearly from the dr30/bluebird vintage! was sooo funny in the wet the other day. wheelspin all the way through 3rd on boost, with fwd and lsd it just drives straight ahead in the wet, no matter where the steering wheel points

mmmm....stripping..... ice is the bomb. makes the job so farking easy. and real clean too

good to hear, Luke is a good bloke and has done a heap of work on my car over the years

I really like the meridian style harness bars. nice short run between the shoulders and mounting point. with the rear parcel shelf you absolutely must reinforce it, the shelf itself is not strong enough to safely mount a harness (ie it will be less safe than stock belts). and yes Chris I agree the standard rear seat mounting is not right either, its too low. The cams book is quite clear about the "desirable" and "acceptable" angles. the close to 90o the better

ouch. next time post up in members I'm sure someone can lend you a socket! I've got a couple. hope it drives nicer now...have you done a wheel align since?

not a problem. if you are worried carefully sand there with a little wet and dry to make sure there are no sharp projections but how on earth did you do that? what does the back of the cam look like?

so which sensor shows an error under etc/sensor check?

that crack looks long, but I don't think it has turned. all the marks on the rubber line up inside and outside.

no way in the world will you feel any difference between brands of strut brace. In fact odds are if someone took it off and didn't tell you, you wouldn't pick it at all. unless you mean a difference in how your wallet feels?

good work mate, how did it go? where are the results?

hahah yep my105.com is car sales for race cars that, or go to a local race meet. odds are 30% of the cars you will see are for sale. finally...contact the club for whatever category of car you are after, eg IPRA. many many race cars are for sale, just not actively so. BTW I think a cheap club style race car is a great idea. so much cheaper than tracking your road car. main issue is you will need a tow car and trailer which can blow out the budget

haha yeah that was great fun, the day night race meeting last year. I started 6th and was 2nd into turn 1 having overtaken 4 sports sedans we even warned the sports sedan in front that I would come past up the outside and they laughed. lol. day night meets are great, I'm really going to miss oran park.

yeah I know a lot of people went home when night fell (wierd if you ask me!) full marks to Neil for having the balls to head out in the dark, and light rain, in a sportscar running slicks. It must have been a huge handful, was painfully slow, but I bet it was an absolute f**king blast! I was pissing myself in the pits, just wish I had been out there. for those that have missed the thread, Duncan (LSX-438) won the NSW State Champs of which this was the final round: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ls...Su-t292391.html His first season in a gtr, and he had to beat some very serious and experienced competition to win (and annoyed a few people on the way!)

well don't forget the BSM GTR....they have won NSW production car and improved production titles, and the national improved production title in thier gtr, and it is now being setup for sports sedans (has already raced with a top 5 finish). But yeah if you want to look at GTRs that have raced (door to door) in NSW I only know of: BSM 32 GTR (originally prod car, then ipra, now sports sedan, about 4 seasons) Brad's 32 GTR (sports sedan, mra, 2 seasons) Stu Inwood's 33 (Irace, 1 or 2 races) Mark's 32 (production car, 1 season) my 32 (production car, 3 seasons) roadrace's 32 (production car, previously peter conroys car, 1 or 2 races) SSS/Geoff Fear's 32 GTR (irpa car, now owned by fernando but not raced since, 1 season) that's it. the only 7 skylines in NSW that have done door to door racing. as for why not more....dunno!??! I love it! And plenty of people spend way more than me on cars that have never raced. wierd.

very sad to hear that, and apparently the driver of the other car in the head on crash was also killed. is there any verified information about what actually happened?

great, clear tutorial. just one thing - when bolting down the rocker covers with the new gaskets, be very careful not to do them too tightly! the rubber is what does the sealing. just a half turn beyond finger tight is plenty.

yes how you read it is exactly correct, there is an "or" there. which may not stop people changing the rules as you've already seen. depending on how important winning is, 3D may be the best place to run next year on semis. I guess since you were quickest outright you should be right in 4d anyway.

I've just made it home from the last round of the NSW state supersprints (Oran Park Day/Night Meet), and understand the Duncan (LSX-438) has won the 2009 state championships. considering this is over 8 rounds and in a brand new car, this is a great acheivement!

In (of course). Actually I'm heading down to vic for 3 events in 4 weeks (supercar support race@PI, national supersprint @PI and Mt Buller sprint). So I'd be looking to qld next personally - maybe take a day or 3 off and do QLD raceway and Morgan Park. Also need to get to Haunted Hills hillclimb (vic) and Mt cotton (qld) sometime too. And the street sprints they run in qld eg Gatton. And I still haven't been around sandown, winton, mallala, air, barbagello or hidden valley Lots to do

9 times out of 10 its just the stock sender playing up. try a good mechanical gauge. fingers crossed.

Thread locked as it appears we cannot all be grown ups.

I agree with rb ryan! the top of the strut/shock takes sfa force in a double wishbone setup like skyline compared to say a silvia with strut front suspension. the force is on the inner end of the upper and lower control arm which are not really braced by a strut brace. btw also gtrs did not come with a strut bar, except n1.

OK I think the point about people's past experience with these wheels has been clearly made. No need to continue with that, or the personal attacks attached. No-one has been banned (yet), so just consider this a warning.

yep, everyone is welcome on the cruise, passengers included, as long as you stick to road rules. Lunch spots at the pub are only guaranteed if you pay the deposit suggest you got to windsor where the meetup is instead
