  1. IIRC on the radio or news or something, it cost NSW tax payers 10m for the Homebush V8 race.

    This just a 1 weekend a year race.

    Just imagine if they invested that much to say...the Lucas Heights motorsport precinct, or the Wyong shire one....

    The NSW governement would actually get more investment out of the new tracks, every weekend Wakefield Park and Eastern creek are booked out, and its hard for smaller clubs to book a day at these tracks.

    So instead of spending our 10million one a 1 weekend event, how about they build a proper facility where they will make more money in the long run?

    I do not understand.

    I have to agree 10m for a race weekend waste of money its time v8 super cars put some money back to grass roots motor sport

    can you imagine if the nsw government and v8 super cars pooled there funding together along with profits from the racing series and revenue from

    there safe driving campaigns they could build more tracks and employee people to work at them dangerous driving off the street, more people with work

    win win

  2. After watching this report they also seem to be mixing the story one is about drag racing and the other drift to me its just a report

    to stir everyone up, but we should take the chance to try and voice the need for more race tracks in NSW at a cheaper price to get people

    off the street in a controlled environment

  3. Hi peoples

    Going to hopefully be heading over to Osaka with k-tours around the 14th June anyone

    else signed up for the tour

    iseekool be good to meet up with another aussie over there for a beer but your going to be Tokyo

  4. Im doing this conversion right now, and have encountered the need for the rb25 pump as the balancer has 3 ribs for power steering and the rb20 pump is 4 ribbed...

    Would love to know how to keep the steering the way it was, could you use a 3 rib belt and the rb20 pump?

    Or has anyone solved this one?

    I recently removed the hicas system on my r32 and decided to use the smaller pump off a rb25 but they have the different ribs, I then got the rb25 pump removed the shaft( its shorter ) got the r32 pump removed the shaft ( long shaft ) pressed off the pulleys swapped the 4 rib pulley to the short shaft re-installed removed half the body off the r32 pump use the back cover off the rb25 bolt it back together needed to grind the back plate to refit into r32 backet and not a problem steering is the way it was before

  5. There is a brass restrictor in the supply line to the pump perhaps removing that could increase flow?? but as you said could be to much pressure and blow seals ?

    If you do the s14 conversion you should be able to get rid of the hicas computer i think meaning if speedo cable breaks it won't affect the steering making heavier you have to check what controls the pressure on the s14 rack example on a track day doing 140km/ph you don't want super light steering it needs to ramp up slowly that could all be controlled by the s14 pump not sure haven't seen one .

  6. While taken off manifold to change exh studs ( r32 rb20det ) ive had 5 break with the other half of stud in the head and the rest of studs stiff as to remove,

    don't wont to risk trying to use ezy outs as can't really line up a drill straight so thinking have to remove head been quoted $400 to $1000 depending on the work

    that needs doing thats not even a gasket kit yet can do the manual work myself to save $$$, or should spend extra and upgrade to rb25det

    any input appericiated

  7. Hi guys, I did a search but couldn't find soild answers just competed in a motorkhana and had the

    steering go very heavy then light then heavy again so checked fuild all good next test happened

    again the car is a r32 gtst locked hicas bar all the system removed ecu still plugged in and using

    a r34 pump any ideas ?? and standared steering wheel

    Thanks in advance

  8. Just an FYI superpro is not Australian made all the bush's come out of the same factory overseas

    the only difference is colour and as sydney kid posted some are now starting to come out with grease

    groves to help stop the squeak

    As for the squeaking front end it's just a lack of lube when installed but that is the nature of this compound

    if you were to intsall rubber as standered there wouldn't be the nosie

  9. Has anyone found after market sensors for the rb20det (cas, afm, water temp etc)

    As its starting to harder to get parts from wreckers on top of the price you pay

    i know you can get from nissan but thats top dollar and got to come from japan
