  1. I can make a nice comfy bed up in it for you...lol
  2. we run the Dunlop's...awesome tyre...we get them 2nd hand but very cheap though (free).
  3. swap for registered and very tidy Jeep Grand Cherokee black with leather interior 4.7ltr V8...
  4. swap me and its gone... then you will have a nice track car
  5. they are the type that we broke...looking for something a little more durable
  6. Luke's only negative about our Superlap set-up was the rear end stability under brakes...the car on the power was excellent, and it should have been as it was running all our drag suspension. You guys doing cradles on order? Or supplying CAD's for us to make our own?
  7. Ring Autoworx and put a Vi-PEC in it...much better ecu than the old Power FC
  8. Jamie from A&J in Port Stephens did mine and another GTR on here (Cowie165 i think) knows the skylines well and does an awesome job some pics...
  9. We broke our adjustable front uppers at Superlap last year and are looking for new ones...what's available?
  10. What...and enter it in the Punjabi Desert Rat Race?...i think not! OK...$55000AUD P/A and its yours
  11. are they not new? The new CP's run thicker rings as i tried to use an older set of rings on NYTSKY's engine (i fu(ked one putting them in) and they were too thin. Had to buy a complete set of rings from Quantum just to get 1 second ring out of it...bugger!
  12. cannot believe ive still got this nuggett someone take it off my hands
  13. On the track they are quiet as a mouse...but very squealy on light application when cold.
  14. Yeah the Mahle's are pretty good...German engineering...what piston to bore and ring gaps are you running with them? I can put my fingers over the rocker breathers after inital run in and gauge when an engine is too loose for street application and wont do the miles. My drag engines breathe a little more but need to due to the high boost and rpm they see and low miles before each teardown. Red R Racing, Croydon, Racepace, Godzilla Motorsport etc dont use most of the 'Sydneykid thread' crap in their engines to control oil...why? Because its not needed if its built right. Kat, how much were the pistons out of balance out of the box in your set?
  15. we run these on our circuit car...which is driven daily in traffic...they squeal like a pig!
  16. some oil control measures are a band aid solution for a poorly clearanced and/or assembled engine. Oil will never easily return to a sump that is positively pressured when the oil happlily lives in the head....think about it. Steve-o your engine would have been fine filling it with an extra litre of oil if it was built properly...being an RB30 im sure it wasnt driving the pump as hard as a high revving 26. Some of australia's fastest road registered circuit cars run std sumps, none of this useless rear oil drain crap etc. The rear oil drain would act more as a vent for pressure than a drain for oil, if you want to run over clearanced engines then a sump vent is what is needed to allow oil to return to sump as it doesn't have to fight against air pressure. The rear turbo drain to a vented can works well to relieve sump pressure. Most of the american style piston manufactrers recommend the same piston to bore clearances as they do with their low revving normally aspirated V8 pistons which is wrong. The are under researched and tested and thats why most forged engines using these products have blow-by issues...why do Jap pistons run clearances sometimes 1/2 of what the yank stuff does?...because they know what works as they have done the 'legwork' on their products. Their is more to getting these engines right than just slapping them together. this is not meant to have a shot at anyone...just some food for thought.
  17. correct...nice thick rings provide a good seal. the CP's 2nd ring is 1.5mm from memory
  18. twoogle fanbois will get passenger laps....ok
  19. Grippy you have your MAP's installed before the throttle plates...they need to read pressure/vaccum after them
  20. ACL rings seal very well and come highly recommended for street engines
  21. clever car that...how it changes colours...its silver again.
  22. there the boys with 000Racing decals on the rear windows...obviously a take on 888Racing from the V8 supercars. them behaving contrary to traffic laws on the road is disgusting...but anyone who is a wanker enough to get sucked in by them deserves it.
  23. single 044 starts to struggle at 360-370AWKW with a 2.6ltrs torque... ive done a few and they seem to fall over in the top end at this level. but...this is when they are mounted in tank trying to suck fuel instead of pushing it as they are designed to do. fuel pumps are quite cheap these days, buy and sleep easy.
