Neil, how did the ulsar pull up? going to remove whats left of the interior before the next one?

That was mad fun yesterday,,,didn't the rain make it interesting.

I pulled the bloody thing off the trailer at home and it started running perfectally again. Piece oshit.

Ive been discussing the weigth issue with the boys at work and heres what we came up with:-

Remove all door trims except the drivers one (safety issue)

Remove dash pad but leave instruments.

Remove heater and block all hose outlets from engine.

Remove rear door locks,somehow fix the rear windows in the up position and remove window regulators. Weld up both back doors.

Remove rear hatch locks, gas struts, rubbers and weld up tail gate.

I gotta do some exhaust work,,,the ulsar is way to quiet.

Neil.

At least I can weld them shut(its piss easy). Just stick a 3cm long piece of steel on the inside, between the door and the "C" pillar and weld one side of it to the door and the other to the pillar. :D:);)

Pity about the Raceworx 2 stroke,radiator stuffed,rust riden 200B that hasn't got enough steel to weld a 5 cent piece to it any where. :Bang: :Bang: :Bang:

Neil.

meh the woo wouldn't have beaten anyone

BECAUSE IT STAYED PARKED ON THE HILL YOU BIG GIRL'S BLOUSE

:)

And Neil, we don't have to lighten the datto, the magic of rust has been doing that for us rofl.

seri0ously though, the only thing worng with using a skyline for motorkhana is that they are hbge compared to some of the tracks.

You've got to love a form of motorsport where the day, and a brand new car, cost less than aaron mcgill would charge for a track day.....and if you think that sounds silly, the entry fee was $40, and the 200b was free, and Neil paid under 300 for his ulsar :D

yeah especially after seeing kel line up and then brutally mow down that flag with her front bar :D
The funny thing is, not long before that when Kel was making her way out onto the skid pan down the entry road Neil (from memory) was standing infront of Kel egging her on to run over him.

:wassup:

    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
