If you want a set of the Teins RS for an R32 GTR then let me know. I know of a set, only there is perhaps a little risk associated with delivery. I purchased them then failed to go through with payment as the user has several names and a friend suggested i not proceed with the purchase.

I think I will pass based on that info.... :(

I have no idea what model Ben is referring to either unfortunately.

Cheers

Andrew

First time out and I had a ball... the Taxi only managed to get into the 1:32's but I am pretty happy with that as I only expected 1:35's. I am sure there is more time in a lap due to my driving and I had the wrong fluid in the brakes,, kept getting spongy after 3 laps...

All in all most fun I have had in my car to date... thanks SAU!

But at least you have a clubby to drive around :P All I have is an Express Van :P

Even more of a reason to think about it before you do it! :(

Hey Aaron, Eric told me you got some new suspension for the barge. Can I get some details? Happy with it?

Heres a couple videos from Brisby's car. The first one shows 2 laps from the super sprint. The second one shows the unfortunite spin that ended Troy's day.

LOL...wait until June Sandown. New suspension and brakes. I want to give the RB20 a hero's fairwell...it deserves a good death for how it has performed. So fingers crossed i get the thing tied down well enough to run the [shrugs shoudlers] "i hope it s not too much boost" and see if i can get a decent lap time before binning it again :)

I'm going to laugh so much if it rains in June. It's going to be the biggest let down in your life.

If tat the biggest disappointment in my lift then im doing ok :(

You have a lift in the playboy mansion! :O Man, you guys have the best toys.. :D

And Bris your efforts during that spin was crap.

Ths Stig would have spun that back around the second time and still punched out a 1:21... :D

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      and I thought size mattered 😝 At this point I may either pray to the Afterpay gods and get a torque wrench or attach a water bucket to the breaker bar. I appreciate the help though 🙏🏾

      Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.

      Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
