Sold them about 10 minutes before you sent the PM... sorry

Have been running 450ish hp at the wheels on standard rods shot peened for almost 24 months now without a problem. I am using ARP rod bolts though which is where the weak spot is in the rods apparantly. Keep clear of R.E.V rods. Friend of mine ordered a set thinking they were a bargain. They arrived pre-assembled, when removing the rod bolt it stripped itself and snapped. Really want something this brittle in your engine when you cant even remove the rod bolt to put it in the engine? Unless you want to push massive amounts of power or raise the rev limit, standard rods should do you fine (using a decent quality bearing as well... I previously used NDC bearings (Nismo are supplied by NDC) ad they are a tri-layer metal style bearing. After 10,000km the top layer had started peeling and was on its way to spinning. The car has no knock what so ever, and have always used Motul 300V Chrono oil changed every 2500 - 3000kms. My preference for bearings would be King. EDIT: Forgot to mention, as others mentioned get them shot peened to remove any surface weaknesses, and if you have the cash cryo treated to add some extra strength.

Hey Shell, We'll actually our departure time is based on when Mark can finish work... hoping he can finish early, otherwise wont be cruising up till 5ish either. Will let you know. Yeah city on sat night, Mark the party animal wants to party

Sleeping arrangements for saturday night are whatever you make them as. Me, mark, cassi and ewen are staying in Sydney city on saturday night. Our plan is head to Windsor on friday afternoon, cruise saturday and head back to Sydney saturday afternoon, party saturday night, head home sunday. You can head straight home saturday if you want, can stay in hunter valley if you want, can stay in sydney if you want

Drag dampers, when it squats in the rear on launch/hard acceleration, camber goes to about 0 degrees to get most tyre contact on the road as possible Im a big fan of the CA18DET, strong little things, friend had one in his 180SX with a few bolt ons (cooler, S15 T28, some piggyback computer) and it was suprsingly quick (and also withstood years of punishment and neglect).

Scooby this morning in QBN, forgot to post it up

This is in less than a month, any more ideas on who is going? Myself, cassi, ewen, mark and shell are all definately going up. I provided the link for a hotel in this thread in Windsor, and the meeting point for the cruise is only 5 mins away in the morning. At this stage we will probably leave around 3 - 4PM, and arrive by 7:30PM at the latest. Check into the hotel, then go and wine and dine at one of the many restaurants/cafes 2 minutes walk from the hotel. It will be an awesome weekend, hopefully see some more of you up there

As said, one of the older HPI has features on some prime garage cars and also on HPI 5 or 6 DVD. They are RH9 (blue R33 GTR) and made the quickest CA18 powered car in the world (white sil80) which I saw a few months ago at CRD in Sydney See if you can grab the DVD, doesnt have much detail on the shop itself but you can see the work they have done to these two other cars and their attention to detail.

Nobody likes a smart ass

Still more expensive than that so called "sports car" whale blubber you own Sorry had to reply to a cheap shot with a cheap shot

For the GTR owners going, I expect no less than a 7000rpm launch after dropping off your guest

You dont/wont need a baffled sump. The problem doesnt really affect GTSt's. On GTR's the problem is when the fronts hook up mid corner it puts the car under alot higher levels of lateral g-forces which pull the oil to one side of the sump. You need to either be a really good driver on standard street tyres or an average driver on semi slicks for this to happen. I wouldnt worry about it too much

8AM departure at shell epic, so meet at 7:50ish I guess?

Ill definately come down to watch at a minimum what time you thinking of heading off? meet at shell epic?

Yeah I agree sultans has a bad rep, but management have been trying to turn it around in the past month to be like it used to... seems to be working, not as many tool beaters up there anymore

Just thought id do some shameless free promotion in here GrooveOn, an Australian run company promoting and running big R&B/Rap/HipHop events throughout the country is having its 4th birthday and to celebrate is throwing a party in most Australian major cities. The Canberra event will include one of Sydney's premier DJ's, DJ A-Style (DJ for Wepon X, who supported Xzibit) and heaps of live acts to be announced shortly. The event will be at the Sultans night club in Civic on Saturday 3rd September. This is bound to be one of the biggest parties in Canberra for 2005, so why not come along and celebrate the start of spring and the coming of warmer weather with a night out supported by excellent live acts, good music, and alcohol (if you drink ). Hope to see some of you guys there

Yeah ill be out... and if it stays reasonably clear today its going to be f@#king freezing tonight so bring jackets

Its not too bad, I just cruised slowly through the dodgy spots... dont want my baby to slide into a tree And yeah leigh was up at corin forrest Meanwhile, an actual real spotted. Was out that way again today and saw a fellow R32 GTR driver heading out as I was heading home... have a fun drive (I know I sure did!)

Spotted a white R32 GTR frolicking in the snow no more than 20 minutes out of Canberra... GTR in teh snow And what the road looked like out that way... Road

GTR 4 teh win~!

Might swing past to grab a feed and a drink since I havnt been in a while... anyone else going?

Just curious what bad results youve been seeing coming from Integra? Not having a dig, just curious -- as you know, peoples opinions on here can make and/or break a business If he was as bad as some people say, I doubt Nizpro would be sending all their work from this region to Integra Integra gets my vote.
