What kind of order is that list supposed to be in? It's quite a mix.

http://www.riceboypage.com/ will explain all

That is all.

what'd I tell ya, Japanese muscle

Thanks guys, I will let the owner know. Cheers J

Well it just figures, the first Skyline in Manitoba (not mine) needs to have the turbo rebuilt. Needless to say no one around here seems to have seen one of these before. Any information leading to the apprehension of a rebuild kit will be greatly appreciated . . . Ta J

Okay, I'll use 52L and go from there . . . thanks J

See there's figures I can understand 8.5l/100km, that is not bad at all. Most of my driving is highway. This is at a steady 100km/h I take it? For the rest of the figures, how many litres does it usually take to fill up? Then I can calculate the rest Cheers Jason

Just curious what fuel economy I can expect from a stock(ish) R32 GTS-t. Trying to decide whether to also get an MX-5 for a daily driver Cheers Jason

Yep, all 928s are V8. One of the few V8s I like the sound of

I think you are on the right track. Think about a car that can go 'round a corner at ludicrous speed, but has no steering feel, so you can't tell what the front wheels are doing. Might understeer into a ditch at any moment with no warning. This same car is set up so that if you do manage to lose grip, it will first understeer, then as soon as the front regains grip it will viciously snap oversteer. That's a car with good grip but very poor handling. Conversely you can have a car with skinny tires and low grip, but will do whatever you want it to, completely predictable, adjustable on the throttle or with left foot brake just as you please, neutral at the limit and relaxed in its reactions. That's a car with little grip but excellent handling.

And yes, Saturns are horrid. J

The Americans have nearly perfected the black art of getting a front-driver to hook up. Comes from racing Hondas for all those years I guess. They use long wheelie bars, not for any fear that the car will do a wheelstand ( ), but to extend the wheelbase. They set them very stiff. Weight transfer is the enemy in a front drive drag car. Suspension setup bears no relation to a rear-driver . . . it's weird, but really cool. J

Which site was this? :confused:

Thought it should've been obvious Same 'ere. So it sounds like big inches are not the solution - I guess one would have to start with an RB26 then. Wasn't there an RB26DE Nissan factory race engine a while back?

Heh, figured that would get your attention Just for curiousity's sake mostly - I'd be interested in any info relating to serious n/a RB buildups, whether they be 11000rpm RB18DEs, RB36DE strokers, what have you - has anyone here built up a hardcore n/a RB engine, or know of websites, a friend's cousin's brother-in-law's dog's vet's car, whatever you know, post it up! (but especially interested in stroked "big-blocks") Cheers J

140 both front and rear?

www.club4ag.com is good too. US based. Cheers J

Oh for sure - just gutless

I'm thinking all the Australian delivered AE86 are SR-5? You guys only got the 4A-C engine, correct?

You know what you could do. While GT-S 'rollas are expensive in the US, the SR-5s are still pretty cheap. If you don't mind doing the work of transplanting in a 4AGE (might as well go 20 valve while you're at it), and if you're going to upgrade the suspension and diff anyway, a nice clean rust-free SR-5 from the southern states (preferably southwest) might be a good option. Of course it would be LHD . . .

Not any more you can't! More like $3000US for a slightly ratty one. Prices on these things have gone through the roof over there. Shipping should be somewhat less though. J

What are the stock spring rates for R32 GTS-t Type M? and antiroll bar diameter would be good to know too . . . Thanks J

Did you hook up the nitrous yet?

Nicely done! J
