it hurt? We got a new cadet today. flamin mongrel is doing civil engineering at griffith and has a 6.6gpa. Super cadet..

any time i got higher than a pass i got upset with myself that i worked too hard, not that i ever did any work anyway

too hard to get parts for it mang

Parts? What parts?

Suspension? I'll bet a quid S13 gear fits up front. Rear end will be similar to HR31, parts are available.

Brakes? Nissans always have options

Engine? ESSS ARRRRRRRR

Interior? Gone... who needs parts?

Exterior? looks like its got everything it needs

I really just want a shell...

What about overnight from Japan ?

:)

glass, panels & lights for starters. I'm sure there's other bits too.

You know I love the 200Bs... but I don't want to see you stuck with something you can't fix for 8 weeks because you can't track down a specific ball joint or something

can't be any harder to get parts for than that f*cking alfa :)

I dunno man... euros always seem to be easy to get parts for... that's why all those old alfas, volvos and beemers are still running in the poor countries. endless parts supply.

Whats wrong with using the 31 as a track car?

Bonuses: you already have it

Negatives??

My understanding is he wants something he can kill so he doesn't have to worry about killing his 31

ahh i see

Martin you already know 31s, so you wont need to adjust to how the car feels much, and you already know what does and doesnt work alignment wise ect, just buy a shitty one of those body wise and whack a good engine in it

and he doesn't want a second 31 for some reason :)

I personally wouldn't mind a garage full of sexy 31 coupes

Hard man to please! I guess i am old and jaded, now the words 'project car' are almost enough to make me vomit, I would much rather go with a known quantity if i was going to make a track car, the sooner,cheaper and easier i can get it out there on the track the better!

    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
