theyre stupid is what they are.

and i cant even put into words how properly ridiculous this thing would be;

Years ago a Peripheral ported 26B, 4 x rotor job won Le Mans. If I remember correctly rotas were banned soon after

Rotarys are effectivley a 2 stroke engine (even thought they don't actually have a stroke) that is why they use more fuel but that is also why they produce so much power with such small displacement.

How about these apples;

oh, ive bought a set of pads for the s14 as i can hear the current ones squealing, nothing special, just something to keep my brakes going til i get my qfm's and rda's, but uh... ive never changed pads on 4 pot brakes before, so would anyone be willing be help out?

they are the easiest setup to change i have encountered. the rears require a bit of fiddling to "screw" the piston back in, but they are still 10 times easier than my ford rears that also screw in and you need a special tool to do it (which i didn't have).

3 sided rotor is kinda like having a 3 cylinder 2 stroke with rotor apex seal opening/closing ports as seal passes/exposes the port

Yeah sucked big time. I still think the best days were when we had BMW's, Volvos, Ford Sierras, GTR's in the ATCC

Holden v Ford is a little boring imo

Word to mutha..... its a boganfest atm.... the group A's were much more interesting to watch.... too many rules in motorsport these days. I just wish it didn't come down to R&D budgets.... I reckon some of the early grand prix's in the 30's would be more interesting to watch than todays F1..

F1 which I've been following for nearly 25 years now has been pretty good still up until the last 4 or 5 seasons. Cutting capacity back to 2.4L V8 from 3L V10 and then the engine development freeze and then controlled ECU and now they've f**ked 'em up with new aerodynamics. Should be an interesting first few GP's this year....

Yep there is 3 power "strokes" per 1 revolution of the rotor but there is 3 revolutions of the eccentric shaft per 1 turn turn of the rotor. Since the output shaft is the eccentric shaft, there is 1 power "stroke" per revolution of the output shaft which is the same as a 2 stroke engine.

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
