It's the second last track day this year at Symmons.

$85 entry.

Should be a great day, Plenty of action and heaps of runs.

Everything from Porsche's to SR20 Powered Preludes to 59second GTR's to STI's and EVO's.

For more information visit http://www.nwcctas.org.au/ or PM me.

I challenge anybody to run a 1:05.73 or better in a RWD Skyline.

clutch finally died, and the diff is stuffed. so i've got the car on the hoist and dropping the engine out. And i'll get a tomei baffle kit for the sump and install it while it's out. And i'm gunna get ajustible upper arms at the same time, otherwise i'll just distroy my tyres.

Looks liek you got a fair bit of work ahead of you then. i loccked my rear diff on saturday. Just gotta get my car ready this week befause i go to Hong Kong and Vietnaim for a couple of weeks and get back the day before the track day.

Has anyone seen the red R32 gtst with GTR gaurds, bonnet and 25 that runs around the track lately? Last i saw of it was just after it was tuned, made 330ish i think but that was well over a year ago. Think it used to do 63's but would expect it to go alot quicker now. Everyone will see Brett O'shea's VH commodore back out there soon, wants to get under the minute mark. Did 61's aspirated with 315rwkw, just fitted a blower so that should be interesting.

the red R32 killed it's gearbox in the first race of the first round of the TSS at Baskerville Feb this year. It's waiting the arrival of a six speed sequential gearbox from Hollinger. will be back competing in the TSS for 08.

Oh ok. Think from memory it ran a VL turbo box, didnt think it would hold up for ever. Yeah it had a few stickers on it. When i worked at Pride Autos it was down at Driveshaft City for ages getting the engine rebuilt, with all these goodies it should easily see 60's. I wonder if Cooper will have the torana out there, still havent seen it on the track yet but apparerently its doing mid 60's aswell. Everything seems to be getting quicker....

I think you are talking about Bill Fultons 32. He is already doing 60 at Basky

Yeah think he made that number on elf though, either way it would still be a fun car. Whats the plan for your diff? Spending the dollars or doing the cheap fix? Did you end up getting a bigger master cylinder to overcome the long pedal after travis fitted the big brakes?

i am yet to see it but am keen to. a mate of mine made the carbon fiber door skins for it.

looks like the TSS will be pretty huge next year. i know at least one person that will more than likely run in all of them next year. one other that has a car almost complete but that may not get there till half way through the season and if gesty runs they will have to make a skyline class of its own. haha.

i thought he was a rep for dunlop as most guys on here get there tyres of him.

I've got a Nismo clutch pack kit for it, put's better & extra clutches in, and people that have used it said it's pretty close to a nismo pro diff but better to drive.

I havn't got round to fixing the master cylinder, i've just got used to touching the brake with the left foot at the end of the straights. I do need to replace my pads though :)

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
