Looks like you will never get this project finished...i think you should have a fire sale and concentrate on the Radical. I will give you 4k for the R33

Its frustrating that the engine swap costs as much as the RB20...even though they are cheap you still dont like losing engines. By the time you put an oil flush through, coolant, oil, timing belt and swap over pumps or new pumps....plus your time...it sucks to lose an engine!

I have heard of a few people having problems with spark plug tips...probably nothing to do with it but what plug gap were you running? These days I am mega delicate when gapping plugs as I would hate a plug tip to kill my mega dollar crate motor

Brad, you usee Varigon or something similar? Man, talk about Rollys Royce approach. I like it. I am no welder but even I notice the difference when welding with Varigon. You can get away with way less amps and welds so much nicer. We have to use it in the pharma industry as otherwise you cant achieve a no heat tint fusion weld. ...the second I know when I will be in Syd over Xmas I will call...

That PF1 post is a piss take. I would not assume Crofty is going to be part of Sky broadcast.

The last of the Caltex Bond Sierras is for sale. Has all the late model post Grp A kit homologated so is lighter, 6 sps etc. The other is a Japanese Grp A car which would be interesting to get your hands in to see ince and for all how it lines up to the local GTRs

So Sky to announce broadcasting team today....who will be joining Brundle? I hope DC is in there somewhere

Do you have the gearbox mount and tailshaft ?

Eww K-Sport...the other ones are ok...the ones with the twin bolt bridge. I just hate the look, but they do seem to work well. But would still rather 6 pot Alcons on 380x35mm rotors

Well I will be in...if you want to come and stay at my place at Mulwala then you are welcome...only 5kms from Winton...

LOL, Swift is better then one of the other cars I have driven around the Ring If only this one had a read gearbox

My votes are in...dont forget its no GTR but its cool....and probably the only car on SAU that gets to wear its Nurburgring sticker havign actually been there Pics of the old girl are at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/372973-near-life-experience-2011/

There are two very tasty cars for sale at the moment. Steve Richards is building up an Escort...was really hoping he was going to join the category

Yep, The Brown Davis cage was similar to what I have now...but I couldnt recline seats all the way back as my Momo seat is quite wide and used to hit it. Also didnt have a diagonal in the main hoop which i was worried would limit access for rims and tools. Pro Fabrications did a top job to package the bolt in cage far tighter to the body, provide a diagonal in the main hoop all whilst giving me the same, if not more rear access for storage of stuff when getting to/from the track

Yeh, harness bar in the main hoop is probably best anyway. Some argue that longer harness means in a big accident the longer belts stretch a little (we are talking mms not inches) and this flexibility reduces internal organ damage due to high Gs. Of course being shorter if the car distorts your belts are less likely to loosen as things move....but main reason I like harness bar between struts rather than the main hoop is acces and putting rims etc in the back seat even though you have a cage

So what are Williams going to do now? Another year for Rubens? They need to make up their mind soon so the driver can get in there over the off season and work with the team and engineers

Can you fit a harness bar on the bar between rear legs when you are running them beside the rear arch?

I am depressed

BSA, where are the rear legs welded to?

GPS so accurate hey? Fark me! I come on to the straight at PI at 170-80km/h and I hit 233km/h going downhill, on a very long straight with a short braking area as turn 1 is ~180k/h. Yet you hit the same speed on that lap! I need to pull my finger out and get the Cossie registered so the R32 can go corn juice and more boost

Easy as that hey Zebs? Installing a cage in a car and understanding which sections to weld first, last...which members should pick up where ...are all things you only learn the hard way or by getting advice from those who have done it before.

Rather than delete his posts...hit him up for info and advice! If you think your welding is up to it than I dare say you would be well served by buying a kit pre bent from them and welding it up. You say seamless pipe, what grade of pipe/tube are you using? From the pics its not clear, but it looks like you are not running your rear legs to the inner guard or strut top?!?!?!

Geez Paul, that may be enough power to justify some real man's brakes

Fark me if your GPS speed is correct it monsters my car for straight line speed! Looks to be hammering! Sorry to read about more engine woes

I need to learn how to use photoshop...
