The regs said 95db limit, but they didn't have anything to test it. There were a couple of cars running screamers and I'm sure they would have been at least 110db LOL. You'd fit in fine ;P

Let me know when the next decent event is on and ill try make it down ;)

There is an Esses Descent planned on the 30th March but not 100% sure if it will go ahead.

Hillclimb on Mountain Straight on 31st August, Supersprint on Conrod on 2nd November and again the 29th November as well as a Hillclimb on Mountain Straight again on the 30th November.

Yea man, the Supersprints are just Conrod so you could just do one of those days. But I will insist that you do a hill climb as well man, would love to hear your car hitting gate all the way up the mountain :D

If they let me that is :P Would be keen to give it a crack :yes: I was pretty jelly once i knew you were there!

Well, when people say that Jim Berry likes to talk, they don't lie :P . I was on the phone to him for about an hour and a half total today, but I learnt a lot (and a lot passed right through one ear and out the other too! haha). I have now ordered a custom clutch and new flywheel from Jim himself. It is almost the same as what Mat (34GeeTeeTee) is running, a 6 puk solid single plate, except with 5000 clamp pressure. It is a bit overkill for my car currently but I am hoping that I will never have to replace it :) . Jim said he would get a start on it and give me a call back in a couple of days, so hopefully I'll get it sometime next week maybe then I can figure out exactly when I will be able to get help fitting it :P

Juts got a call from Jim to say he is sending the clutch/flywheel ^_^

Wow, he musnt of had too many phone calls today :ph34r:

(If he reads this i hope he laughs lol)...

Yeeep. Haha. Oh well, now I have some spare seals I guess :P

I know we had trouble getting the rear main seal right on mine, check it over and make sure it is 100% before fitting :yes:

He mentioned having trouble with the rear main, I'll line it before removing the old one and make sure it all looks right :)

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
