  1. Is it 1mm? I have had a look around and all the people that make them only make 1mm and up. So does that mean if i want some cheap compression my only option is to machine the head? I have had a look around and cant find the cc of the RB20 head, i am guessing i cannot machine enough of the head to get compression up to around 8.5:1? I just want to cheaply bump up the compression i can...and give that i can get an RB20 head for $50 want to have a go at porting a head myself (I am after all the Butcher of Southbank)
  2. Some slower cars too...lol. Will be a question of working out the cars in your session and trying to pace yourself to them...can burn a lot of time at OP letting quicker cars through Whats the cap on numbers?
  3. 387rwkw on 21psi. It was damn quick but i understand why Archie changed it after going for a spin
  4. GoPro is the trick for Burger RIng laps, where quick temp setup is required Will look into the 3ccd stuff. Woudl liek ti run an external mic so i get good sound as well..
  5. So what is a good video camera for use in car at track days? I have spoken to a few places but get different opinions. My last camera shat itself because of the ripple strips on the final left hand corners at Easter Creek where i use to cheat a little and use the ripple strips which were quite harsh. So have read and been told to stay away from the fully digital type wth hard drives etc???? Vibration kills them it seems... So, what have people use reliably that wont deprive my semi slick fund. Say $800-1000
  6. Ill speak to Jarrod and see if he can pick them up or grab them at Tuesday's meeting. Thanks "guy with great shoulders"
  7. ...and i will buy you a cold beer at an SAU meeting:) I need to borrow some 15mm bolt on spacers and some 5mm sandich type spacers. Will need them for about 6 weeks. Trying to avod spending $400 on some only to lose after i remove them
  8. Hey Team Last Minute has always worked for me...lol just tried calling Ben and he is still on holidays. He is going to hang the phone up on me when he hears my crackhead ideas
  9. Thats an easy bet. I will take it. More meaningful would be will the car be ready 12 days before the event or 12 hours
  10. I was going to do F1, but being OS for so long means if back in Aus I should catch up with family in Sydney..so family=Sydney so works out. Plus this will probably be the last time i ever get to drive Oran Park, so have to fire up the cameras and record the prodigous binning so i can win some white goods on Funniest Home Videa Cans after Superlap watching the GP sounds like a good compromise....now just to work out some Indian financial rort to pay for all this
  11. Well i have just ordered mine as i cant wait for another group buy. But i know of a few people who are looking for one, and the manifolds haev recently had a price rise...but Kyle has stated that if another group of at least 8 people were to be interested in manifolds then another Group Buy can be easily arranged.
  12. You're all farked now! Make sure you fit some tappety, tap bars 'cause no way anybody is passing me without losing some body parts Cool, i also see that Gary has entered. R32 showdwon, RB20 vs RB30, Tein vs Bilstein I best stay away from the dodgey curris here in India to make sure i am fighting fit for this. Or in fact maybe i shoudl hit the dodgy curries for 8 weeks or so to try and shed some unwanted kgs ?
  13. Who the fark plays squash or tennis? All these cars built to serve a purpose...sheesh. Just throw whatever parts you can get cheap 2nd hand at it and drive it until it catches fire or you crash into something. The fun is in driving an ill handling POS that doesnt do what it should ... but is fun trying to get the bastard to do stuff it shouldnt. It kind of works for me . Fark it...i have just convinced myself to enter. Need to give Fatz someone to chuck cans at! I know it really means he respects me.
  14. Says the guy with a 200k GTR that is only good for 9 seconds of noise Throw some suspension in it and swap over the brakes and enter it
  15. Ok, car is back and these wheels are now available for pick up or sending
  16. Well the Silver bullet is keeping these. Bugger it, unless someone can come up with the asking price decided to spacer them up and wait for the gold to grow on me Need to flog the RE30s now that i am keeping these
  17. Another, more striaght forward one i have thought about would be the all alloy 8L V10 out of Viper into a 240Z old kitted up. I imagine the weight of the engine wouldnt be any different then to the all steel L series engine I fyou had a clue, a welder and money there are so many cool things you could whip up
  18. Well if i am able to get in touch with him i will see if we can extend the Group By to another few manifolds, say 5 or so.
  19. Hmm, if entered i woudl have been stoked to be doing 1:17s but really only looking at doing 1:18s. You were doing that on street rubber werent you Oh well, if i can get into the teens i wil lbe happy...and i make alot of noise, always a must
  20. So their goes 2L RWD Open Can i tie a bungee chord to the back of the S200 so that way i am at least a chance of second Serious question, what do you think the car will do with good tyres?
  21. Sounds good. I cant wait until the weekend after next when i take my car for a drive with its new titanium exhaust. Shoudl soud wild, may still need to get cams to get the real scream...lol who cares if i lose power. I just want to sound fast
  22. Popping the clutch into 2nd on corner entry? Good video, the ar looks great on the track with so much traction.
  23. Ditto, he is proving a hard man to contact
  24. LOL, like i said, i dont know how applicable/practical the theory is to Skylines....but it has to have some substance as you see it on cars running coolers up front...almsot all the GT2 cars etc etc
  25. Honestly, a good look at the suspension and replace buggered stuff. Throw a proper dump pipe on it. A toshi remap for the std turbo, or perhaps an R33 turbo. Unless you are willing to poor thousands at the car i wouldnt go for anything bigger then an RB25 turbo with a chipped ecu. If you ave cash left over spend it on some GTR rims and tyres and go belt the thing around the track and spend the money enjoying it rather then pouring cash into it. Getting carried away with mods ruined the fun i have with my car
