Cheers,

Worked here for a few months now. Fitz, met your brother a while ago - make him build something with 6 cylinders will ya? ;)

Mag is definitely available in all states and territories of Australia so ask for it by name. Should be on the shelves today.

The BA ute on the cover doesn't have the Procharger any more either. Looking at it front on shows the inlets of two Turbonetics Y2K's! Insane! Just what the car needed - 2500hp worth of turbos!

Adrian

Well currently in the build at our shop we have my GTR drag/street car, a datto 1000 ute with a a14 turbo (trying to talk them into 13b turbo), a 1600 with a sr20 turbo, a 1600 with a big hp fj20t, and another 1600 with a fj20t that is just getting a freshen up (trim, paint etc), and we are on the look out for a early ford rod... so i guess the GTR is a six but its not like the orange 1600 quality wise, so sorry Adrian but there might be a wait before a cool six is done haha I will be trying though!!!! ahah

Have you talked to paul about featuring any SC drag cars or anything? I know of a few cars here in canberra that would make good features if he wanted to push some later model stuff, like a full tube chassis registered r33!!??

GAH! I'd love to know how you can get a full tube chassis car registered?!?!?!

The future content of the mag is at the editor's discretion, not mine. In saying that, I'm not exactly here for my experience with blown, injected Hemi's, am I?

Adrian

Yes I would also like to know that, as I argued with the owner when he told me called him a tosser etc among other things, then I talked to the engineer thats doing the and he said it won't be problem its all under control, I dont understand!!!?? I think its one of those situations where the less you know the better!!!

Well this thing is apparently approved for running 24"x 13" road rubber on the rear and 21"x7 on the front, its going to look pretty gay in my opinion, much like a tractor I have seen the rims and simply shook my head 24's on a skyline so gay!! his race rubber is 33"x 18" i believe!!!

I dont know if the stude will be registarable, not just becasue of the tire size, the thing hanging out the front could pose some probs also.

Ray Spence-Canberra Motor Works, only does ACT rego though so that could be an issue???

Carbon hat and 8/71 are long gone :P:P

Different, more 'below the hood' ideas are happening as we speak.

Talk to the engineers for me - Paul is reading this over my shoulder and drooling!

Adrian

Yeah i'll mention it to him, the killer for any new projects are the new roll cage laws they have imposed in ACT, no bars in front of the driver, the r33 will get in becasue it is a project that was in the build and approved before the new laws. See for my gtr i will be putting all the roll cage in except the front hoops, getting it registered then welding them in and hope I never have to go over the inspection station!!!! I will definately ask him though, tell Paul it would be ACT rego though!

Did Paul buy Steves Procharger???? nah actually don't tell me, i'd rather it be a suprise!

    • Uniclutch install vid, RB Track edition.   Highlight reel is very drive able, not noisy but still heavy with the clutch master he has.      
    • And....if that could be true for all R34 GTTs, then it might be good. But in reality it is not really any better than my standard instruction to "go out and have a look at it yourself, and wave a tape measure around" etc etc, because as soon as you have any adjustable arms, or coilovers with smaller diameter springs, or tyres that have any bulge that goes out further than the rim, etc etc, then the simple version of the information is still potentially misleading. Plus, nothing in this is static. Everything is moving. At the rear the wheels swing inward at the top as they go up, so the clearances on the inside change as the suspension is compressed. At the front it's even worse. And then you have the difference in absolute wheel position in the arch can move around more, or less, depending on how compliant the bushes are. If, like me, you have sphericals on the front caster rods (and on the FUCAs also, but these are probably less dominant when it comes to wheel position), then your wheel will swing forward/backward under loads, as well as up/down, as well as steering angle. You end up having the simple numbers with 17 caveats/footnotes for each.
    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
