That is the story that i heard too. But it was from Baldrick, and his stories arn't always based on the truth

That was where i first hear it, and i called bullshit...

then got the same story from a very seprate, unrelateted source, that doesn't know and has never meet Baldrick...

there's some damage on the east coast... three stages effected. i'm heading up tomorrow to see how we manage them... i've never seen so much road damage for an event.

helped peter o'keefe get his r34 off the trailer today as it's finally home.

it's come up really well with very nice fabrication and generally looking very sharp... some stunner benson motorsports gear on it too :)

I will bring some but things will have to look pretty dire for me to make the call to change them.

Plus I don't know anyone down there that can ensure its still pointing straight afterwards.

im certin i can point you to a workshop (or my shed, jk) that is more than capible of changing springs and not wrecking your setup. after all taking the shocks and springs out wont change any alignment.

A5 with an option to go A4 (advance notice required), Marlin's living back in the 70's

I hardly use the roadbook much anymore though, usually only to get to lunch breaks.. and if your in a skelta, you just can't have it in there cos it weighs like 100 grams!

Thanks boy's for the info. I'm looking at making an aluminum book holder for the poor bastard in the silly seat.

Cheers

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By No Crust Racing · Posted

      This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
