lol i assumed everyone racing a skyline was of the more "robust" build. otherwise why would we need all the extra power to push us around?

haha good call! the multimap link from the website looks like the track is still pretty much intact which is what I had heard. I really need to drop in next time I'm passing by....

not necessarily a problem, the bushes have metal sleeves inside which create the clearance. what was the jack under when the pic was taken (subframe or not). easiest way to get it checked out is to head to pedders and hand over $15 or whatever it is for their bush check.

I was moping around about Oran Park disappearing at the end of the year....and found this website. Check out all the circuits we've missed over the years.... http://www.the-fastlane.co.uk/racingcircui...alia/index.html Who has been to which closed track? The only one I've been to is Amaroo Park

yeah unlikely you will notice the difference. and for sure a good tyre 10mm narrower will still handle better than a wider, worserer tyre. in fact for supersprints you may find it improves times as they will come up to temp a little quicker, and may not go off with a short run

for a small increase in clearance I'd just go higher profile tyres....but I don't think that will get you 2" extra.

much much easier to pull the motor out, for a start you can't get the block checked if you leave it in the car. also it is very difficult to get the sump off without pulling the motor out.

yeah we run a custom setup like you posted above on the new race car. were using just jap's rear toe arms from an s13 or something, welded a bracket to the subframe. at the outer end we turned up a bush but I am 99% sure it is exactly the same size as the rear, upper control arm inner bushes

in semi slick tyres the side walls are very stiff. normally you might hear people talk about larger wheels leading to better handling but its just not an issue with semi slicks. so....considering how much more expensive they are in larger wheel sizes (no idea why), just run the smallest wheels you can and get cheap tyres. the only limiting factor to consider is if you want to run aftermarket brakes, you can't fit much bigger than 296mm in most 16" wheels, about 330mm in most 17" wheels and about 355 in 18" wheels

good to hear Stu, I'm sure plenty of people from here will be dropping by

really not worth the effort. I used to have to run them on the race car and they are only a minor upgrade, and are too expensive to buy (I saw a set posted for sale here 2700 the other day). Much better off upgrading to something like the g4/d2/ksport 8 piston calipers over 324 or even better 355mm rotors. about $2k brand new including pads, 2 piece discs, calipers and braided lines

random. but very funny!

ken oath the little bits went through the motor. but the damage is done now so if its running ok and compression is ok no point to loose sleep over it.

While its good to get a person off here to have a look, I'd pay a workshop to check it out, say $200. Ask the dealer to get uniqueautosports or powerplay imports to inspect it, both are within 15 min.

inner or outer rear tie rod ends? the outers don't really wear, however the inners do, and quickly. there is an aftermarket option at a reasonable price (about 1/3 nissan from memory) I sourced them via uniqueautosports. also the ball joints pressed into the hub wear, I went genuine nissan for those. had to touch my toes while they raped me on price.

can't really tell until you have the oil pump off. once you do those pics will make it immediately clear. unfortunately you have to pull the sump off and crank out to find out

hahah I voted for him because I'd love to see aussie drivers follow their dreams....but its a bit rich to say he is the best young driver ever to race in aus. in my experience the best drivers probably never got a single race start, and the next 50% of great young drivers can't afford more than a single season. some good young drivers have the budget to keep going, so good luck for him.

no he doesn't know anything about targa tas, he just does casual potatoe farming if you are serious about doing buller, or any other aasa event, check the regs before you spend any money....garret -7s are not legal for it (although I guess that doesn't stop everyone!)

i have thanks, thats literally the only one i can find for sale on the interweb. have contacted him, not exactly what i want because it is nice and comes with spares. but hey if its still for sale and negotiable i'll take it i want people to think im gay. hahah nah i need a shitbox daily for 18 months. and i think it has potential as a race car (improved production) after I don't need it for that any more. lofty did ok with his starlet and it only has a turbo lol. just a hairbrained scheme for now.....its a 1 in a million chance but it just might come off lol.

Help! I need ideas, these are pretty rare. I need to buy a 88/89 nissan march (super turbo) must be complied or compliable. Anyone know where I can find one?

according to ACL website there are different part # for rb26 vs rb25: http://www.aclperformance.com.au/NissanEngineIndex.htm the sr20 big end bearings are correct for an rb26 (if there are 12 of them, not 8) but that won't help you.

good to see noddy...you bringing some fellow qlders down?

lol is it the magnet that creates the result or that cool cable tie? the thing is....if they claimed 2.5% decreas in fuel consumption maybe....but 25%? and the manufacturers all haven't noticed?

hey good work with the pic, the black pipe you circled is the air con overflow.

haha good stuff. you'll really notice the different running on semis too.
