facewhatnow? I think Kel has mentioned it

nup. driving talent.

haha it's not serious motorsport until someone is unhappy with the results great to see the passion for winning. and I totally understand and agree Chris, great to see something hard for us. bring on next round

best damn use I've ever seen for a drag strip, good on em putting that together. looked nice and fast in some bits, but maybe the chicanes were a bit tight for a whale. good work!

you suck at youtube "This video is private."

BTW Kasey reduce the average sale prices by 10-15k for the blown motor and you'll be about right. Not sure who came to the conclusion that head work is required, it is almost certainly a bottom end rebuild that is required including new bearings and probably boring out the cylinders to remove the scores (which will also require aftermarket oversize pistons). Not a big deal, but not minor either...been there, done that before Where is the car, I've been keeping an eye out for something that has original bits but needs some work. Also, this forum is probably the best place to sell it to a genuine buyer that understands why it is worth more than imported GTRs.

spotted old mate tonight, on the M4. good to see it out and about

not at all. the cams motorkhana handbook (which we have a copy of BTW) specifies the approved courses and their exact layout and sizes. I saw the guys out with measuring wheels making sure it was all good. If we want our club members to be better prepared for proper khanas we should be using at least some of the courses so people can be familiar The organisers (RTDC) were very professional and worked hard all day, and I don't think we can complain as a club if one event out of a series isn't perfect for us to win!

actually just to be difficult I'd say its probably a 33 gtr box which was converted to push (ie 32 type) because it does have both clutch mounting points on the bell housing. But anyway, it doesn't really matter. They are all the same internally except for some parts in series 3 R33 GTR boxes. In any case the 32 and 33 series 1/2 parts are discontinued and you would have to fit 33 series 3 parts. They are all the same strength (ie very strong for a production box, but not unbreakable with enough power). I don't know much about differences in the attessa pumps but can note that the plugs on it are not 32 style, they are 33 or later style.

It depends what you are doing, but if it is a "speed" event, ie not racing, the standard system is OK. There was plenty of confusion with scruits early on with these rules but it has all been settled for a while now. be fitted with two separate fasteners on any bonnet or other panel where the leading edge can be raised. The fastening systems shall meet the following requirements: (a) to be deemed separate, a fastening system shall continue to function if the second system is removed in its entirety; (b) they shall be of adequate strength and limited extensibility; © they shall simultaneously hold the bonnet or panel closed or as an alternative for speed events only, one fastening system shall hold the bonnet or panel closed and its release shall allow the bonnet or panel to be raised to provide access to a second fastening system fitted within the vehicle. The second fastening system shall prevent the bonnet or panel from being raised more than 150mm from the fully closed position. In a speed event, a road registered series production car fitted with an unmodified original equipment twostage fastening system shall be exempt from these requirements;

While no response isn't super helpful, I'm sure you can also understand that removing phone numbers is any scammer's #1 friend, so they probably ignore all such requests.

Looks like some runs are up on youtube: Alex, damn close until last cone which I think was WD: Here is his incar, you can see how steering wheel work is needed for such a big heavy car on tight courses: Awesome apex watching too, I think he was looking out the rear window at times. Tim's incar, the first one in particular shows how well has was handling the tight turns and getting close to the cones And outcar from the same as the first vid. One win, one lose, its amazing how totally different lines end up with such similar times. Aggrodave, also drove really well but some cone hits hurt overall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCrlrUwWCps Two of eric's runs And none of the leaf, no surprise, it doesn't sound very interesting! Basically this event didn't suit our club's cars, but the whole point of this series to have a whole heap of different types of events....if everything suited Skylines we should just call it the Skyline Nationals! Our job at this event was to get as high up the club chart until the other events so that we can defend last year's title

Nissan. but you'll need your VIN and FAST to turn 14075N into a full part number. if you post up here someone can look it up. BTW is it a metal part/joiner? If so you can get a decent workshop to repair it by brazing or welding

yeah that's a really common issue when they haven't been apart for a while. what car? I know the gtr ones are readily available from Nissan at a reasonable price....because I've had to replace a few over the years for the same reason

nah its not like that at all, actually the driving from the team was excellent.....they were just using standard cams courses and they are f**king tight. That double kidney thing, even the leaf had trouble driving through at about 10k/h it was so damn tight. There were a few cones slaughtered by the big cars though, at 5sec each that hurts

nah we towed it there to make sure we were OK, drove home fine with it. actually we had plenty of juice in the end Dale, yeah mine is 2000kg, but even then the leaf for example would be 2.2 (1.8 + 400 trailer) so that's not great. Not to mention the tow bar was never engineered anyway (like every other mod I've got). Plenty of ways to potentially be caught out.

BTW Dale in NSW it is the manufacturer's recommended weight, or 1.5 times the weight of the tow car if there is no manufacturer weight (which I guess is the case with most imports, since the RAWS is considered the manufacturer).

Towed the leaf (1800kg) to the Nulon nationals motorkhana yesterday....

Thanks Ciaran for the pics, and also for organising food/drinks/shelter for the club on a hot day. I really enjoyed the event and I reckon as a group we drove really well....but damn some of you guys hate cones Did anyone see either overall results, or how the club was going? Last I saw we were all in the top 20 and 5th (by 7sec) in the club comp

man, motorsport is starting early this year! Thanks to Nulon putting this on again, hopefully we can make a start defending last year's title!

but where!

+1, common fault and a common repair, it will be as good as new. Don't forget to check the other side too.

Hey Roy, if you come across the rear, outer LCA ball joint sizes can you post them up too? Or are all the ones you've been posting for the rear LCA outer ball joint?

Still no worky for me, thanks for trying though! when I hit "Quote" with BBCode mode on, it does not quote anything. If I hit quote with BBCode mode off it quotes the post in the quick reply box

I guess that was the problem....everything I went to fix today was already handled. let me know (or just report posts) if there's anything left.
