Show Me Your Racing Machines

[phunky_monkey]

thanks Dane, still lot's of little bit's to do but i'm happy for now, it stays cool while being thrashed and goes/turns/stops which are the main things...

i see you've entered sandown, i'm guessing you only had a minor hiccup, I bet that's a massive relief...

hey Marlin, I haven't broken an aerocatch but talking to the guy who sold them to me he thought the standard pins were piss weak alloy...

thanks beer baron, "scotsman" has the same colour on a set of wheels, I saw them and fell in love too, he painted them for me, super special "chris" colour...

unfortunately a tyre guy scraped both the front wheels while putting on some new ku36 rubber recently, fun times :S

It's the oil pump that's the issue man, so I'm going to get another one. They haven't checked the bearing and bores out yet though, so here's hoping it all checks out... pray for me! So at least we know what it is, but I'm not quite out of the woods yet, but should know next week.

Looks good Troy. Are they GT-R guards? You have a paint obsession mate!

[R32gts-t]

Such a nice Silvia. Years ago i preferred the 180SX but these days i like the Silvia better.

cheers, it will be good to see your car back in action soon too, it's exciting to watch it screaming past

Yeah I just meant you have the same aero catches...... I broke one. Badly worded, my bad

your 180 has been such an epic, fingers and toes are crossed mate, dean needs someone keeping him honest!

Eek, hope luck is with you re engine woes.

Nah, far from it. I hate paint and dont really care for flashy paint jobs. Just want my car to look neat, being my only car and my daily i need it to look neat and tidy so nt to get pulled over and reamed for the all the "stuff" i have on it. So more a survival thing. Std guards, after all i am still a lowly GTSt owner who is too cheap to spring for the cost of labour to throw on the bigger guards

I so badly want to get out there with the new setup and exhaust, i know the EPA / Noise guy at Sandown wont bother me. I am pretty sure the car will now be loud enough that he will have to cover his ears, close his eyes as he grimaces in pain and nose starts to bleed. So too preocupied to bother wth reading the dB meter

[phunky_monkey]

Hahaha that's the spirit Troy! Maybe when we're dragging side by side down the stright we can break the DB meter?

Thanks for the well wishes guys, I'm hoping she'll be ok too. The engine builders seem relatively confident, and it was primed with a fair bit of oil pre-startup so we'll see I guess... very draining though, I just want to drive again! Plus Dean is getting out of hand, can't keep letting him get away like this

[Roy]

Hangs picture of the S14/15 on Dart Board

So to go on...

New titanium exhaust

6Boost manifold

TD06-25G

New ARC 100mm thk cooler

Plazmaman Inlet Plenum

New Tein RS rear shocks with new cradle

Secret squirrel rear diff

New wider TE37s

Finally putting back on a set of F40s after way too much d1cking around

New fuel system

New cooling system

...and depending on power it is making perhaps some cams.

Most importantly though, my new R31 rocker covers complete with RB20DET-R badge

[Beer Baron]

someone give brisby a car for dutton. he is a top steerer and kind of handy with sabotage etc too. he has the dough and is heaps talented at driving, having pioneered the reach around gear shit technique. you could all do much worse that Roy for a co-driving team-mate. he will get the result you need or crash trying. don't be shy people. hell you can take my silvia troy if you byo tyres and just tidy up one or two things. seriously. the whole car is only worth 1 weeks pay mate so no fear of smashing it either.

[Roy]

If i bin it...one thing guaranteed. Beers at the strippers and private shows are on me, cause err i usually end up there at Duttons anyway

[phunky_monkey]

That's a nice list of goodies Troy, should be a bit of a weapon once they're on.

The titianium exhaust sounds rather sexy... mmmmmmm

Once I learn how to steer then we should have some nice competition going on here in Vic!

[Roy]

Even if i knew in the first place it has been that long i have most likely forgotten

[SABBAi]

Well, my car is undergoing surgery, reason why i am fishing for other ppls cars for Dutton.

LOL, i have no taste of artistic flair so hope the stuff i am doing to it is going to look good

34 GTT rear wing??

[Roy]

Gayside Blue GTR wing

[zebra]

ZOMG there is a GTR bit on your car!!!! get rid of it lol

[Boosted Zed]

The Slot Car Before and after.

8 years in development and improving. Does an average of 10 track days a year, and keeps going strong.

[zebra]

nice effort John ...

Does everyone still idolise you on aus300zx?

[Roy]

I know, i hate it. I have had to start cutting my arms with razor blades to cope with my self loathing. But i dont want to throw a big wing on it and have a head fark of working out whether it was any good, helping/hurting etc. A late model R34 wing has to be a decent enough thing given the effort Nissan put into it and the fact it was unchanged on the Z-Tune. So hoping it gives me a tad stability and doesnt hurt straight line speed.

Also hoping some of the pace of the car it came off spreads to mine

The Zed looks mint now...Stealth Bomber!

I want to have this car's babies. extremely predictable and well handling despite plenty of power. would go even better witha front diff to get all the power down.

BTW good to see you car too SABBAi. I love the variety of cars on here (despite the rash of filthy 2l cars lately)
