Finally got to take the Silvia out and have a run with the new MCA suspension on the weekend. Worth every cent is all i can say the car was awesome to drive, we unfortunately had to retire after stage 2 with a burst water line under the plenum that we couldnt fix in time but was 2nd outright behind an evo 9 untill then.

Go the S13!! So good to see a cool RWD car ripping it up against AWD evo/rexies!

Well I finally got my R32 GTST out on the track for Time Attack at Lakeside on the weekend.

Never having driven the car I started off slow and was building up speed.

Blew a turbo and diff for the day and retired early.

Still had a great day and at least I didn't hit the wall. Thats racing.

Posted a 1:12.3400 for the day and still had an excellent day anyway.

nice man.

it always a good feeling taking a car out for the first time, shame bout the turbo though..

with the cage did you bump it with the hemet much? was it annoying? asking cause i think i will with mine.

Cage was a pain in the arse. I have the seat as low as I can. I am six foot and can't really see the front left side of the bonnet. The whole time my head was either resting or bouncing off the cage to the side above the window. Probably wouldn't without the padding. I will have to find a solution.

Madly sourcing parts to hopefully get another round in before the end of the year. Not sure I will but otherwise back in force next year.

i know its not tarmac but here is a pic of my dirt circuit chassis and engine build so far.

Sounds interesting. Try opening the bmp in Microsoft Paint, then go to the File menu > Save As - save window will show up, change the "Save as type" drop down menu to "Jpeg" - save it somewhere like My Documents and try uploading your newly created .jpg version.

try again lol

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
