Ohh so no T88 or anything nutso Fatz???

Heheh seriously Tosh, I remember wondering why so many freight planes leaving bankstown over the weekend, (truthfully quite a few were active) taking extra slabs down to keep fatz happy ehh?? hahah fatz reminds me of a simpsons episode which goes HOMER -All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer, thats what it's like with you and your day job ehh fatz?? hehehe

mmm beer

big single would be nice

but looks like merlis turbos have just found a new home

but the best part is that i still have one good turbo from the gtr

will convince nath to put it on the capella engine and se if he can blow it up

might hit more than 110 down wakefield straight then!!!!!

na nath bought a 1975 mazda capella 4spd coupe when i killed the motor in my car nath offored to let me drive it at wakefield for the day

was great hit 110 down the straight spun out once and even overtook a r34gtt (sure it was his fist lap and he was probably only using 1st and second but still got him)

i love that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well from the feedback in this thread i've booked my car in with Nathan next Wednesday to take a look at a vacuum leak problem I have (damn these trackdays, costs me $1,500 in repairs afterwards for each circuit day :D). Looks like it could be a manifold gasket or somewhere in near the injectors, will know next wednesday arvo I guess ;)

Ah well whilst it's there i'll get a few other bits n pieces done to make it all feel worth it.

Thanks for the info.

    • It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!
    • 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)
    • OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
