I know boss its getting all crunched up at the moment an producing a lovely amount of axel trans? I think that's what it's called

Tramp, well thats what i know it as. The biggest thing it affects is the bump stear which will make the car very unpredictable. again your choice but i ran mine at optimal height and never had the thing do anything unexpected.

Keep it low and once its out of your system you will see the difference.

pushrod v8.. you know you want one

i changed to an east/west 6 cycl na all wheel drive and couldnt be happier. nothing wrong with a v8 (had a calais once) but just dont like the aust cars. Would consider one of the new ford supercharged v8 things (GS?) but thats just because its go silly power from fact and with little to no help gets tons more.

Yeah I have to take the coilovers out to get the yellow of so I will definitely be raising it up. Will also make it easier on changing wheels up at the track so I don't have to cart pine blocks around with me :)

I've got a bit of axle tramp when dropping the clutch in the wet at low rpm, once she's running again I need to get a pro to have a look.

Got my freshly machined crank, bearings, Reimax oil pump gears, new timing belt and oil pump gasket ready to go, just waiting on access to the workshop!

I like budget. It is my favourite. I went up to the track and one of the trainers was like you need this this this and this and then he was like it's only gonna cost $1200. That is like my yearly centrelink salary :\

centrelink blow big chunks. We applied to have rent assistance (along with other stuff when i lost my job) and we were only going to get 10% of the rent back!!!! so out of $200 a week they said it was fair to get $20 extra. no wonder people cant afford to buy food each week.

on topic,

what did they tell you to get griff? did you find a r32 mani?

Steering rack spacers, rear camber arms, castor rods, those solid bushes for the rear subframe and something that adjusts toe? I can't quite remember exactly what it was :)

I just ended up doing a botch job on the mani and drilling out one of the holes so it would fit on nice and snug.

Wasn't really to worried about it because as soon as the yellow comes off the mani with the gate flange will be going back on.

you can get adj. bushes instead of complete arms. they should do you till you get better and will cost less. i would suggest caster rods but again the bushes are fine everthing else is nice but not essentual till later.

cool as long as it works till then you are laughing.

Yeah I'm thinking about just saving the money and getting arms so in the long run its cheaper but I have to get it back over the pits first hahadomokun.gif

I'm not having to much trouble with it at the moment but I just want more lock and a bit more traction whistling.gif

MOAR TRACTION?:laugh:

Rebuilt the bottom end on the weekend and drop the engine back in the car, now to hook back up all the wiring and piping.. if the weather holds off and nothing else pops up, should be driving by the weekend :banana:

Yeah I need to start thinking about building up more speed and a bit quicker so I can get longer slides happening :P

Keen for a noob to come down watch you doing the wiring?

Bushes will be fine, dont cheap out on the arms get very good ones that can be serviced.

If you want to come learn some stuff and lend moral support, I'll be trying to spend a couple of hours each night after work on it :thumbsup:

You still have my number from way back? Probably lost in your PM's due to the fact that you are a mod and receive all kinds of important things these days domokun.gif

Glad to hear it's coming along Bubba. I've cleaned my garage out and moved stuff i wanted to keep into the shed, threw out 2 trailer loads of "crap" just gota put the wheels on the car and move her into the shed to start playing

Cheers mate! Bet you'll be happy to start tinkering on the old girl again :P

I'm itching to go home and work on mine.. stupid day jobs :( Also need a 26 p/s pump bracket otherwise I'll be getting a massive workout driving around town :laugh: stupid ATI balancers :dry:

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
