Finally, some more rally cars! Very cool Z. No one out here would dare rally a 240.

Got any gravel shots?

thanks dude, yeah rallies are becoming a bit too rough now with all the 4wds ripping up the roads... was bags of fun on semi slicks tho, might have to reset suspension & join the tar babys!

here's some on the dirt for ya

This thread has spurred me to get my old car painted up for the upcoming series in Oct.

what do you think of the concept design i have had done for the old girl. Not to sure about flames though

Yeh, bin the flames and just put a back shadow or something accross the car for a bit of contrast.

my favourite out of the bunch here!

not a dedicated track car, but definitely not a cruiser.

That car is 110% car-character love. That kind of project/track car I would love to have myself. Top stuff please post more pics or vids or whatever I'm a bit hungry for more now :P

Here is a couple, from last year.

Full lot below

What a beast. Last I read this was still being built so good stuff to see it up, looks like the track car paint scheme and all :( How's your season/comps goin?

Last season went ok, usual thing with a new car, little problems here and there that hindered our progress. We finished the season 20th.

This year I sat out the first 3 rounds, lak of funds, but managed to get a drive in the Sureflo 300ZX for at least the last 2 rounds.

Hopefully it turns into a full drive next season.

Here's an updated photo of work in progress on my car.

The rear rims are 17x12 Panasport Racing rims with 300x640 Dunlop slicks on them and fronts are 17x10 Panasport Racing rims with 265x625 Dunlops. Flares are compliments of the local holden dealership. Im awaiting delivery from down south of two more rear flares which will then be blended into those already on the car to give a full flare all round the wheel-arch.

Chose them because they were cheap, the plastic is flexible and will take a knock without busting and they were a pretty decent fit. Still got to cut out the rear wheel arches and fill in the gap and then paint everything in go-fast pink.

    • 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.
