What car are you using? I hear that Z32 drive shafts are the same diameter as the GTR ones but I can't tell you much more than that sorry. I only mention it cos you might come from Greece and therefore maybe Z32's are more common. At least they were sold in the US.

They are welcome. I am going to post this on oroads too.

You never had me. You never had your car.

The CV joints on the drive shafts are what go first. The gtst ones are weak. I blew mine with 270rwkw and good tyres. Running 12.4's at the time. The GTR ones are very very strong.

*shakeshead. Sad.

As long as no one knows...

*Of course I did. * I may also have accidentally double booked myself that day.

It seems to me that they are just not adjustable. If you were happy with how hard they are and didn't need to adjust them then maybe they would be ok for you. Track car only perhaps.

It's not very easy to get pics of that area. I've just taken about 10 pics and maybe they will help, not sure. If you pm me you email address I'll send them to you.

Yes take the whole thing to them. Yes some people remove the squish area but it's there for a reason. I have retained mine.

Oh that's the size I used. I misread bubba's post, thought it said 235.

This is correct and the correct size too.

Tempe are rude and arrogant so I recommend anyone but them. Maybe Ozzy tyres?

Get a back operation and keep the Duc.

No but semi slicks are.

Looks like about 4 atm. Yes on the 19th.

As you can see by the above link we ARE going for a cruise Bikeman. I just changed the date of it to Saturday 19 Jan.

I changed the date to 19 Jan.

86mm standard bore size. It's not the head that gets rebored, it's the block - the cylinders. All else being the same, an overbore will increase the CR as you are sweeping a bigger volume into basically the same size combustion chamber. There are many different opinions on what CR you should use. It seems to me that the old school way to get power out of engines was to drop the CR and shove lots of boost in. These days people want better response so they tend to go for higher CR with the result being that you have to be more careful with your tune and perhaps keep the boost a little lower. RB26's start at 8.5:1 and RB25's at 9:1. I dropped my RB25 to 8.75:1 and the response is stock like. It has been at times difficult to tune but not impossible and any decent tuner should be able to deal with it. You will see GTR's with big turbos sometimes dropping the CR to 8.2:1 or even occasionally 8:1 but these are usually big power cars, not the sort of thing you are after. That said, the Gibson GTR way back in the day apparently ran 9.4:1 and big boost from smallish turbos and ran ok. Maybe it was the datalogging and such that kept it alive. I don't know. If stock engined GTR's can happily bolt in GT-SS's and run 300awkw then your rebuilt one should have no issues at the same CR. I also don't think that CR should be a problem at 350awkw given appropriately sized turbos. One last thing; I've been told as a very general rule of thumb, if you drop the CR 0.2 then you need an extra 0.1 bar of boost to make the same power. I think that's how it went. Oh, cams, yes those cams will bolt straight in. They are Tomei Poncams Type B. Cam gears wouldn't hurt but I don't think you'll be crying without them.

Well I just did 225km since posting last. Went through the Nasho, stopped at Thirroul for a coffee, up Bulli Pass, Appin road to Campbelltown and then over to Oran Park to catch up with a few SAUers who were tracking it. Went back home the same way. Saw a few cops and had no trouble as I was doing it leisurely as we will on the cruise I'm organising.

Didn't they defect cars on trailers and tilt tray trucks one year?

Due to popular demand I am organising an SAU ride out on Saturday 19 Jan. We will meet at the Krispy Kreme carpark at Liverpool at 10am for a 10:30 departure. Regroup at the carpark just before the entrance to the National Park. If this is full of soccer mums, as it sometimes is, then just go around the corner to the first carpark off the National Park road. Anyone who doesn't want to meet at Liverpool can meet us there at say 11 to 11:15. After this we will go through the Nasho and have an earlyish lunch at Thirroul. From there we can decide where we want to go. I usually go on to Mac Pass but it's probably too far for newbies or L platers. Newbies cos your arse will be sore and L platers cos there is a bit of fwy which you can only go 80km/h on. So post up if you're coming. EDIT**** Date changed to 19 Jan.

Well I'm thinking the 20th because a few people have told me they can't do the Saturday. Have you booked already Johnno? Event thread.

I had a very similar situation to the first post and after 5 mins of rude questioning I did this. I honestly think that if a car hadn't come around the corner at just the right time I would have had the shit kicked out of me. Later I saw that copper's name in the paper on some corruption charges. There are obviously a few bad ones out there and they will do whatever they want to so be careful. That said, I bumped into 3 coppers on NYE while I was trying to drive down closed roads in the city and they were all nice. When that didn't work I turned the bike off and pushed it along the foot path and another one just shook his head and laughed at me. Some people are just arseholes, some of them are cops, some of them drive Skylines, it's just a fact of life so make sure you look after yourself.

I made phone calls, filled in application forms and wrote letters. Eventually about the 6th place I tried said yes. The girl I spoke to at Parra Council was a car nut. You will find a lot of people are prejudiced against us due to the whole hoon obsession people have these days.
