OK, 5 spots are gone but there are a couple left so don't delay! This is a chance to do some laps in a proper race car around a great track that is about to disappear - and support a worthwhile cause at the same time.

I've got absolutely no issue with n1 blocks being manufactured in china, in fact I would very much welcome it. nissan has not been casting n1 blocks for at least 5 years and globally all old stock has pretty much disappeared. If Nissan is going not going to supply new blocks where will we get them from? Good luck to anyone that has gone to the effort of casting them, I'll take 5.

those wheels are gorgeous. 16x how wide, 8"?

well...he's not really running the workshop full time any more, its more for long term projects. Hopefully the number will still get through, otherwise maybe drop by one weekend

hahha yeah....whirrrrr.....whoosh....tututu. didn't see your car though?

you tried this right? I guess it wold have mashed stuff by now if it was wrong

As you all know, Oran Park is soon to disappear for ever. The club I race with in the NSW champs, the Street Sedan Racing Association, have got together with Rotary to run a hot laps for charity day this Sunday, 18/10. For $150 you get 3 hot laps around Oran Park in my Production Race Car (or another if you prefer ). As Matt can tell you from last weekend, hot laps in the skyline are great fun, especially if you don't want to drive yourself. Or a great present for someone who may never have thought about going to the race track! Proceeds from the day will go to RYDA http://www.ryda.org.au who provide driver education and safety awareness for school aged kids. If you are interested, or know someone who is, please contact me by email:[email protected] or pm here. charity_flyer_updated_29072009_3.pdf

great pics mate...payment and details sent!

that looks brilliant eric....heaps of different cars covered, must have taken ages to shoot and edit

cheater! checking out the show n shine venue early!

i like watching people passing. sometimes there is some rubbing. meh.

is anyone on here wrecking a march super turbo? we need a couple of parts and can't find them at pick n payless?

I reckon the category is the problem not the telecast. the racing is just rubbish and spreading it over 8 hours makes it worse. But hey, its the biggest race of the year in aus....and I don't mind spending all day in front of the tv drinking beer all and the rookies each year guarantee some crashes.

not yet, no rush atm....but its good to know options when we're ready to go

patrol to prado is a downgrade, not an upgrade

oh its getting uglyib this lounge romm...i think kel and neil are going to have a punch up

lol....must be great to be a volunteer helping on these cars.

yawn. when does the final sprint start?

lol right up to 18th...he must be so proud

wow it's midday already

lol "it probably was, a little bit" nice work dane

Sucked in lowndes

tv....check couch.....check laptops to talk shit.....check provisions.....check lets go

Its not that simple...it runs to targa m1 regs which basically means it is heavier than stock due to cage and otherwise almost totally standard. the car is even running factory shocks/springs/wheels/tyres. it does have an ecu (haltec) but I think that's about it. still no semi slicks in 20s so it is either running on standard bridgestone or dunlop street tyres.

well at least i get a point for guessing the problem was timing. is the drive for the cas on the end of the zorst cam intact? if its broken the cas to cam timing can be random. sorry not many ideas why
