Well in that case "its stock" "I had crap tyres" or " It was its second run" are no longer valid.

Its awesome and the time it ran is 13 sumthin sumthin in spite of being awesome. Thus closes the case of the people of whoretown vs natro. The court rules in the favour of the people of whoretown.

Nice.

.... Great now I have no one to argue with about crap while I sit at work :(

Standing in the dole queue does not classify as work. Go out and get a real job to fund the abomination.

All that says to me is you need to meet more drivers LOL

I agree that they would be similar around a circuit, but you should have me at the drags. The gearing in my 6 speed is not the greatest for the strip.

CoR33vettes are always awesome. In the same way that herpes just doesn't leave, to some people that's pretty awesome.

Maybe, but the fact is you would be much faster than all of us! At the drags I probably would be faster after you leave your gearbox in pieces on the start line :P

I challenge the title "abomination" on the grounds that by definition, an abomination creates strong feelings. The feelings expressed towards the wannabe CoR33vette, although negative, are hardly strong enough to substantiate claim to being classed an "abomination".

The level of actual care given is just too low and is more of a passing interest.

Ditch the shit house 6 speed and get an auto like a real man

Hence the Modena in the daily and the 6 speed in the track car.

I am amused and amazed by Squizz's abillity to liken an LS1 bearing R33 to Herpies.

I think that had almost made my day until...http://www.news.com.au/realestate/selling/queensland-agent-tamara-english-dons-superhero-duds-to-market-property-in-caboolture/story-fndbawks-1226679550939

That is why I am everlasting, and you are not.

Screw being everlasting that shit is over rated. I'd rather be here and now then gone.

Also I can't commit to dinner, I have a baby arriving any day now, the suspense is killing me.

Shame you cannot come along. We need to get numbers up to this event.

Congrats on the baby though. Do you know what you are having?

I have a 3.5 year old daughter which I spend money on lol.... and my wife expecting in 10 weeks time our second baby :)

    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!  
    • Turbo gods, some assistance and recommendations please I'm looking into a turbo kit for my 2.5 from MX5 Mania >>>>> https://mx5mania.com.au/products/copy-of-mx-5-nc-2-5-litre-engine-conversion-turbo-2005-2013 Power wise I would like about 200kw atw, and of course dose noises, apparently if you keep a stock 2.5 under around 200kwatw the engine and drivetrain will not hate life even when ragging on it a bit Max RPM on the 2.5 is around 6500rpm The turbo MX5 use is something around the disco potato size as  packaging room for the turbo is pretty limited, which will, I believe, give me my power goals I want and not have the turbo either under, or oversized, but the rear housing bit is confusing  It comes with either a 0.64 or 0.86 From my understanding, which so far is based off googling, so make of that what you will 0.64: spools faster = good Makes more EGT heat on boost = bad Less topend power than 0.86 = I'm only looking for 200 atw so that point may be mute????, I don't know, hence my questions  0.86: Spools a "little" slower = how much slower??? remembering 6500 is my max rpm Makes less EGT heat = good Makes a little more power up top = again, power goals is only around 200 Also, this is a street car, so there will not really be any long track sessions, in saying this I would want it so it was happy with at least 3 hot laps at Wakefield Park if the need arises  I already have a fancy pants triple pass radiator, and a oil cooler with thermostat will be getting installed as well Thanks for any information or recommendations you have 👍, and of course, the comments about me wasting money on drive in drive out modifications, or any other snide remarks about my manhood for owning a MX5 🤣    
    • Tape some wool onto the vent then take it for a drive I did this to my reverse cowl and was instantly unhappy, as anything over about 60kph would have the wool enter the engine bay, thus just adding underbonnet pressure and stooging my coolant stack, it did let alot of heat out when stationary though, which really didn't help once the car was moving, with the reverse cowl you could watch the coolant temps cheap up the faster you went on the hwy, I assume it would be alot worse doing track day speed With the vented bonnet (just after the radiator and about 1/3 up the bonnet) on my old R33 the wool on the leading edge sat at about a 45° angle as air poured out of it From looking where your vents are, and their size, I believe you should be fine at speed and air should be evacuated from the engine bay, I think it will be a night and day difference when stuck in traffic though for removing the trapped heat, and not sitting there cooking when parked up after driving around... #convection  Post wool tuft pics and data for science  This beastie is one nice and unique rig, enjoy
    • It is possible to do this stuff for "cheap". But you need to be able to get deals on all the bigger items, and it really helps if you're fully capable of doing your own work. As soon as you're paying retail for new parts, or buying "kits" because you can't fabricate necessary bits and pieces, and if you really need someone else to take the reins of doing the work because you don't have the space/time/skills/confidence to  rip deep into the car and put it back together in a working fashions.....then you pay. And these days, pay means a lot of money. You'd think things would get cheaper, but they don't. They just seem to keep getting more and more expensive.
