Anyone here going to watch/drive? I'm going in my mates newly purchased 4age Sprinter (shh i know), apparently theres a loooot of people on it.

Should be good for spectators then I'd say. :(

EDIT: Going in my car... Sprinter wasn't purchased due to rust ha

Just to let you guys who didnt go know, the turn out was massive for a practice night! The line-up on the track was loooongg. Also saw a few guys from this forum (serty etc, a few others i cant remember their nicks). Was good to watch but very very cold last night :rolleyes:

line ups were huge. i was out there for my first time, had a LOT of spins, and equally as many close calls to the wall. its a big culture shock goin out there, as its NOTHING like the street (ummmm, not that id know anyway *shifty eyes*)

with time and practice i'll get it, bit better set up, and a damn handbrake that works (mine was part of the typical R31 syndrome..........handbrakie no lock up-ie)

haha what was the deal with u passing me on the back straight? i was in the r32 4dr and i was doing about 70ish on the back straight and u 2 went around me?

Some nice cars out there, that 4 door 31 with gate sounded nice too.

And yes it was damn freezing out there!

The burgandy 31 with black bonnet/boot? If so, that would be my boyfriend Lukes 31, username skylineguy19 on here.

Was good to see SO many cars out, just sucked that it meant 2 or 3 laps each round for everyone. Matty, got some good photos of u! Well done on your first time :D

Was heaps of 'newbies' out there. I was damn cold in the stands but loving it!

Richo - car got away from u in the pits hey? lol, We were driving past and your car was rolling along.. without u in it lol

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
