having the 2005 calendar made in feb/march 2005 seems like great idea :confused:

DOH!

forgot about the year being from January to December :D

looks like Ill have to wait till 2006...

So whats happening with this Calendar anyway guys?

...no vic ppl with r32's have the balls to get out on track  ;)
I have some photos of Rowdy's R32 from Sandown, not sure if any are calendar worthy tho... the attached one is probably the best of the bunch but his front bar would need to be "air-brushed" slightly :D

sounds good...lets do lunch....I'll get my people to call your people.....
You have people to liaise with your better half????? COOL!! Perfect marriage.

A bit self serving here but main photo's all of cruises makes little sense. People drive cars in long lines every day, it's called traffic. Maybe use a few as insets or one or two alternatives but Skylines are performance cars, and their place is on a racetrack/dragstrip.

We are a bit blessed in Vic as no other track has the picturesque attributes of Phillip Island with cliffs and ocean in the background :(

All the same this is an awesome idea and whatever the outcome I'll buy one. I also have a couple of pro shots that may be suitably corrected for use and are of the 1.5MB size.

One or two groupshots would look ok, but I prefer to see a nicely photographed car buy itself. Run a comp, where people get to send in pics of there cars, and have a vote on the 12 to get in:D
Great idea. Maybe make it for the main photo and have some insets. I also prefer my cars to be cars, and not props for Barbies.

bah, screw this... I'll start a thread to get some images in...

then touch them up with some photoshop action (not to modify cars, but just to make it look nicer)... probably get justinfox n frinik to help me with that...

then get it printed...

since adz has taken over the anyards I should be free to do this one.

oh and the only reason i have only used those images is because i was just using my images that i have taken(and no vic ppl with r32's have the balls to get out on track  :().  

I did not want to use other peoples images.

James.

When my '32 gets here it will go on the track, just you wait..

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
