haha stop talking to sydney kid about shocks! these are the portugese spicy ohlins. much better than japanese karage ohlins or the sweedish meatball ohlins.

no they are japanese. but I'm not sure it matters much if at all. they are a completely different model though to giants which are a big step up again. about 5 grand or so for the ones I have, but giants are a whole other level again in price and performance.

haha just wanted to know out of interest. One of the guys in the Tas Super Series with a 350rwkw gts-t has double adjustible sweedish ohlins, and i wondered if they were the same. But I think his are the same as giants, cause he said they were "upsidedown", i can see what he means comparing the 2 diferent shocks.

That pic is Queensland Raceway June this year QUeensland 500 Team Enduro. We went out on lap 69...piston melted its way right through the brakepad.

Car is 95 R33 engine etc is stock all mods are to suspension and tyres. We were 10 to 12 secs a lap quicker than last year thanks mostly to Kumho. Unfortunately we ran the same brakepads as last year.

Tein circuit master RA. All alloy shock. These are really good value race shocks. lightweight, good pistons, plus you can use EDFC with them which means you can set up the damper adjustment in about 20 laps instead of lots of trial and error. They are about half the price of my ohlins and about 1/5th the price of giants inverted hard corey ohlins. I think brand new they are bout the $3000 mark. Many quick circuit cars in aus and japan are using these. oh, and I'm selling my set pictured. haha, had to get that in there.

    • Oh, oops, yeah, I'm getting the cams in the 2.5 replaced, so the above factory 2.0 cam specs don't mean 5hit, but, after alot of googling it seems the factory 2.5 cams don't like to rev So, yeah, there is that 🤣
    • Update - new drop of oil noticed. Leak seems to be continuing, but a slow/small one. 
    • Hey y'all! So I am the owner of a shiny new '99 ENR34 25GT-Four, 5spd manual. Took it to the tire shop to get new shoes. They mismatched the front and rear axles (225/40s on rear, 225/45s on front), so AWD system went bonkers for the next day. Took it back in, they fixed it, but I noticed about 8-9 big drops of red fluid in my parking spot. Leaking has stopped, but it's clear that the transfer case may have been stressed/hurt by this debacle. I'm taking it in for inspection tomorrow. If things are FUBAR, I have a few questions. - ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases seem impossible to source. Can a GTR transfer case fit? Or if not the whole thing, just seals or components? GTR is 6spd, mine's 5spd, so I'm thinking no, but lmk. - Finding a few RB25DE NEO AWD auto transmissions for sale, for decently cheap. If my only option is to swap to auto, what else will I need besides an auto-specific gauge cluster, and associated wiring? - I imagine the R32/33 GTS4 transmissions/transfer cases are a no-go? They're not NEO engines, so unsure. - RB25DET/4WD setup from the Stagea, any parts that transfer over? I did search up for this on SAU and google, very little info covered.   This is my first post, so apologies for breaking any rules, please let me know, and thanks for the help.
    • Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it. 
    • Best bang for buck at the moment would be a 86/brz. Good chassis,  plenty of aftermarket support and parts everywhere.   I just picked one up with some quality gear and it drives better than my old 180sx.    Also depending on what your doing and budget.  An a90 supra is my pick if want to spend more. Great chassis, solid motor, gearbox is good. Development potential is crazy. They are doing well in prod sport and time attack. All the old jdm stuff needs alot of work as most of it all bent and over priced.
