Hi All I'm after an eagle H beam conrod for an SR20det. Will buy a complete set of used ones if need be. If anyone has blown one and has the others left! email me at [email protected] Cheers Chris.

I'd be keen to get mine by say the 9/10 of next month. Got a drift meet on the 12th in Melbourne and would like to have a belt to complement my new seat and steering wheel.

Highly recomend the uh041p. My housemate and I went halves in a pair. They have good range for a cruise, and suprisingly good battery life from the rechargable pack.

I like to think of it this way: If I tally up all the times i've done something completely illegal (feel free to insert stupid/risky/suicidal) on the road and got away with it and subtract the number of times a cop has so much as looked in my direction without my giving him any reason, then I would still be ahead by a long way. now I can't account for the driving style's of all the members of SAU, but I fell pretty certain that this would apply to the vast majority. P.S Tosh - What goes on tour stays on Tour, you little 50c salad eater!

Gotta agree that bushes are the best option for a road car. Have to disagree with SK on the spherical bearing deal though. I've got non greasable sphericals on both my castor rods and my rear upper links on an S14. Both have now done over 40,000km with near zero problems. I had to remove the rear arms at one point and apply bearing lock to the spacers either side of the spherical bearing balls to stop the spacers rotating relative to the chassis mounts but otherwise haven't had any trouble with them. The only reason I don't recommend them for mainly street driven cars is the increase in NVH they cause due to the loss of compliance. For hard driven street/track cars they are perfect.

It exists allright I nearly spat out my weaties when i first read about it in the paper!

Still interested in the box, as above.

I've allways had a dream to take a clubman cart through a shopping centre late at night! Maybe I should just follow this guys lead instead!

Will you take $900 for the box?

There's a place in Canberra where I got my cusco 2 way rebuilt for my S14. I know he does a lot of late model import stuff. Last time I was in there he had a late model evo diff and a Kaaz 2 way for a skyline on the bench, I'm sure he could handle it if you want to send it to Canberra. To be honest I think most diff specialists would be able to handle it. Diffs are fairly standard inside. It would just be a matter of getting parts to suit, which would just require a bit of waiting for Nissan. My cusco was done in less than a week.

Tosh - care to regail us with the story of the night you downed 4 beers in quick succesion!

Be very carefull using octane booster instead of 98 octane fuel. When it says on the octane booster bottle that it raises the octane level by 4 or 5 octane points that means .4 or .5 of an octane ie if you fill up with 95 octane and add an octane booster that raises the octane level by 5 points then the result is 95.5 octane fuel. Still well below 98. And double dosing isn't the solution either. Octane booster is designed to work in a certain ratio adding more than the recomended amount will no doubt increase the octane rating a little further, but a double dose doesn't raise the rating twice as much. I learnt this the hard way. Luckily I only got audible detonation not detonation induced block ventilation :Oops:

what was the rail out of?

Any movement on the order yet?

Is the box from the same car as the turbo? ie same K's? What condition is the box in? Any noises, oil leaks etc. And where in sydney you at?

That'd be sweet dude, My flat mate will be able to get it digitised at work, I'll send you a digital copy.

I just hope that footage includes the laps where I managed to drift from the kink to the apex of turn 2 and not the lap where i managed todrift from the kink to the middle of the gravel trap :uhh:

As above, had a great day big thanks to all who organised. Just spewing that I had to work and missed all the timed dry stuff in the morning. Though I did have a lot of fun drifting in the rain:burnout: Oh and I'm sorry for the two stopages I caused late in the day:Oops: At least I did maintain the Nissan pride by not needing a tow.

Depends, if it rains might have to break out the grooving iron or even change compounds.

My prefered anti A-hole device is a simple can of shaving cream and a ball point pen. You simply shake the can stab it with the pen and throw you cream grenade into their car. The things go nuts! They jump and hiss and everything within 6 feet ends up smeared in shaving cream. I first heard of this being used on army cadets in the middle of the night. Someone would open the door and yell at the top of their voice GRENADE then his mates would throw four or five cream grenades in. I'm assured that its an hilarious site.

Slo200 will be debueing his new footwear I believe (full slicks). I can see him beating his old 1:12 mark by a significant amount!

The S14 manuals came with 3.73. I don't know of anything lower than that out of the factory. If you go see a diff shop they can usually find out what is available pretty easily.

While were at it does anyone know the stock rates for silvias?

If you ring up for a revs check you can opt to pay for them to send you out a certificate. If you do this and it later turns out that the car is encumbered then I believe that your covered. But It's been a while since I used the service so I'd advise ringing them to find out for certain.

Count me in for a Long Black one as well. Pm me bank details and I'll get a deposit in straight away.
