Did you check the muffler bearings? Also, last time i was in your car; there was definitely a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

Where did that bonnet come from? Modelled from a Dolphin or is it a Dolphin one?

yep its a freeway dolphin bonnet apparentely the first one thats popped up for sale in 4 years.

they dont make them anymore, so was lucky to pick it up second hand!!!

apparently when new they sold for $1600 but i'm hoping to make them for under $1200, going to speak to some mates but i'm thinking i need atleast 5-10 people who are keen to make it worth my while.

well after having a ball at Texi on Saturday my power steering is broken,

so its either I blew a pressure seal in the rack or the pump, its not leaking but it don't work.

at first I thought it was intermittent but now im pretty sure it doesn't work at all.

also a side note: maybe Alex would know, is the Series 1 and 2 power steering setups different seeing as the S2 came with a cooler? just wondering cos I would like to upgrade as I believe the S1 unit cant stand up to the abuse of full opposite lock drifting HAHA

I'm pretty sure the pump is the same, except a (piss small) cooler was added in one of the lines. It sits right at the front in front of the A/C condensor.

Your not running a P/S cooler? If not, get a small PWR cooler, and plumb it in the return line. I think several guys should be able to let you know their set ups. I think a seal in the pump unit is the first to go.

It's well known the pump will fail at the track without a cooler. Any small core will do, I am using a motorbike oil cooler but I have a spare small trans cooler here you could buy cheap if you want...

its called full lock drifting to much pressure/stress I would assume, I just wanted to know if the S2 pump or rack was different/better otherwise I will get mine rebuilt and modified so that this doesn't happen again if I decide to go drifting again.

like I said it wasn't leaking anywhere and I couldn't see it boiling in the reservoir and the cooler wasn't hot enough to burn my hand but that was after I felt it fail.

Did you use a spray can on the bonnet. Would look mad in 3m black or carbon vinyl wrap

yes I got the black off it and used a spray can so it wouldn't stand out as much to the police, but it'll be taken back off and finish being high filled and painted properly.

yeah it would look mad in black or carbon but I don't want it to stand out an pull unwanted attention :)

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
