  1. Ferrari F40 & Nissan GT-R. First motorsport I watched was Targa 1992, and Bathurst 1992. Loved F40's ever since I saw it in Targa, and we all know what happened at Bathurst
  2. how they gunna go with the 180k gps speed limiter? Hope the ECU isn't impossible to replace/change
  3. My mate has Trust/Greddy Shocks and his car is the worst riding car I have ever been in, it jumps all over the road at highway speeds, and at low speeds it shakes your teeth out. They were put on by the pevious owner in Melb (so not old slogged out Jap 15 yo ones). After experensing them I would never even think about trust/greddy suspention.
  4. I just bled mine, the Workshop manual said to have the ignition on, and the bleed connector unplugged (so the pump works) I only used 1L bottle of Nissan Matic D (system was empty)
  5. I just put my Noltec upper arms in, but how to i get access to the outer grease nipple?, is there some special fitting to get the grease gun on it?
  6. hoooooooooooray I drive my car home tonight. After 2 months i've got the diff and gearbox rebuilt, put in adjustible upper arms and caster rods, and put a tomie baffle in the sump. The engine was sitting upside down on the engine stand for a month and a half, so when i finnaly started it, it was only running on 4 - 5 cylinders, and blowing heaps of smoke, all cleared now though . Wheel alignment tomorrow, currently running about -4 deg camber as a just put the upperarms as short as they will go (looks cool), even with my dodgy settings it turns in and powers out heaps better.
  7. Does anyone know what's going on about the 12 hr people (what ever that production class is called), and the GTP (the one that follows the V8's round) merging? They were talking about it when the V8 were down here at Symmonds. Might be more chance if they lean more towards GTP, isn't that capped at $150,000?
  8. I thought they limited "sports cars" in the 12 hr, didn't they ban the 350Z from running this year?
  9. was more meaning how 911's tend to end up backwoulds into tree's.
  10. you any good at reverse parking? but seriosly looks like a nice car
  11. I though R32 V-Spec and R33 m/s were the same? I know the cusco m/s stopper don't fit a R32 V-Spec (according to the notes on sites that sell them)
  12. a guy down (wogboy) here used to have QFM pads, they were shit, lasted 1 run at symmonds plains (5 laps). Try differnt pads.
  13. can't dyno's work out flywheel kw? Motor tested some Holdens and Fords a few months ago on a dyno dynamics dyno, and that worked out fwkw to like 3% (for most cars) of the manifactures clames. 475 hp is awfully close to what is on the specs sheet.
  14. been there, you get kicked out. We got warned that we would be kicked out if we didn't behave (almost passed leader 3-4 times, went sidways up the street in longford...)
  15. I'd like to see Kovalainen at McLaren. But I was hoping mini Piquet would get the seat, only cause of the way Piquet was mouting Hamelton during the year (or was that mini Senna?) would have been some more macca action.
  16. $1900? I can get a set from Melb for $1700 + postage, the guy hasn't been on SAU for a acoupe of week to reply to my PM
  17. I did the tour in 03, you can't go over the posted speed limit, and the tour leaders don't push real hard. It is litliray a tour round the state, I think the tour now goes to nice places to wine and dine for lunch now?
  18. Targa 08 Corse is out huzza! http://www.targa.com.au/Course/course.html
  19. we had re55s in targa, even on sth riana where it started raining 1/2 way through the stage (tyres were nice and hot when we hit the rain) the grip was awful, latril grip was alright, but acceleration was crap, even pointing straight the car was snaking under acceleration. I dunno how the Dunlop shod cars found sth rianna?
  20. we have a exidy sports ceramic in our car
  21. you forgot the most importand one. A plastic Godzilla figurine to put in the car.
  22. sell without tyres?
  23. My vote goes to Bilsteins. We have the same model bilteins on the Targa car as SK sells(but with a coil over kit and appropriat valving), and the ride quality is great for a nomal car, let alone a car with tarmac rally weighted springs on it (100x better than my R32 GT-R with tenebe shocks). IMO teins are too hard, and not very good.
  24. You can enter the car in N1 spec, that allowes you N1 turbos, and a N1 oil cooler, and other n1 bits. The entire braking system is free, just has to fit under the wheels (n1 can run 17x8 std, or 17x9, 18x9 under the option rule). all ecu's in the car are free, but all sensors must be standard (we run a pfc in our car). You are allwed to put baffle's the sump, not sure about restrictors. rule book is here: http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/road/1114...dern%20Q407.pdf GT-R falls under M2
  25. I like the mines R35, nice and subtle, not big and wanky like most of the others. BB your a lucky bastard!
