haha I'm sure it's not the only build thread on long term hold. It is still down in melbourne gathering dust, and I would still like to finish it one day. First I have to do the ute, get the March aback, get my race card running, and then buy Brad's truck and go and recover this car from Melbourne. So, I guess not this year

there are always cheap shells rolling around...I'd talk to Brad or Fatz in the first instance, they both keep their ears close to the ground. An excellent 33 gtr roller with lots of good stuff was just sold cheap....but that doesn't really help you. Ben, if it's just a case of editting the title etc I can do that, pm me the details, otherwise the easiest will be for you to copy into a new thread and make the changes

Thanks, I've moved the first and will keep an eye on the other....a lot of those threads don't really turn out to be proper drift cars although Ben has a pretty good track record

Now that is something different....thanks for posting it up

updates! can't beleive I never saw this thread....your car is the raciest one on SAU except maybe Stu's supertaxi

farking that's a lot of welds!

haha will do when I get a chance...last time I saw her she was pretty sad sitting in a paddock.

bloody oath...I had never seen that one

Hi can you clarify the issue further? What are you trying to do, and what happens when you do it?

I'll be there for sure one day, MRA is a great place to race....my girl's not race ready at the moment and I have a few projects ahead of it.

sorted? pretty much any skyline workshop should have a z33 or million sitting around if not, whereabouts are you?

oh, this is *that* car....it has a rich motorsport heritage. http://youtu.be/0nVoEfBeJkc Looks like you've done a great job with it, hope to see it on a track soon

what info? eibach are pretty much the best motorsport springs you can get, the spring rate will be printed on them

someone's mum will be happy to have a custom loom in her shopping car BTW also, externally mounted anderson connector for jumping and charging

Did this go ahead futher, and what was the approximate price? Some other things worth allowing for: Accessory power for rally safe/terra trip/camera power supply. Seperate circuit, battery, wiring for intercom (no interferance) Seperate circuits for everything to ensure one dead one doesn't kill others. Power for boost controller, power steering, dash/gauges, lap timer Horn circuit, power windows, heated screen required for rally cars Fuel level sender and warning light

I need links dammit!

done, and done. probably lots of other ones I have missed too.

hmmm yes that took a lot longer than I hoped....need to get some real work done now. just post up links if anything else should be moved over

The Motorsport section has undergone a New Year's cleanup with the following changes: Moved the Timeslip Registry thread to Drift and Drag section instead of it's lonely old subsection Moved all "Club Motorsport" section threads to Motorsport and removed the subforum. There were very few posts there Created a "Motorsport Builds" section, I am happy to receive nominations for threads to move into there. New topics in that section will require moderator approval. The regular Build forum still exists and is the correct place to post road car builds We are moving some of the threads in this section to the new one over the next few days based on a reasonably quick check; If you beleive your thread is in the wrong forum, please contact a moderator of either section and we will review it. Generally, cars with some or all of the following will be approved in or moved to the Motorsport builds section Not daily driven or registered Roll cage Stripped Log booked SAU has a strong motorsport community, and the motorsport build section is *not* just about skylines. Any make, model and motorsport discipline is welcome in here. We also understand you cannot race a car without support from the industry, and you are welcome to mention your sponsors. However, the usual trading rules apply, and non-SAU trader workshops posting customer cars or build threads which focus heavily on promoting their workshop will be closely monitored, and may be removed at the moderators' discretion Happy building!

soooo....turns out they are all back now, the Motorsport Build section has been created and populated today.....get posting http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forum/272-motorsport-builds/

I remember this thread. Engine is being put back together at the moment after some other projects took priority. But I've learned not to estimate dates any more I need to get the ute rebuilt first anyway

We have decided to further refine the "Builds" sections and have split it into two: This forum remains the place to post up threads for street driven cars which covers the majority of build threads. We have added a new "Motorsport Builds" forum for dedicated motorsport cars from any discipline. http://www.skylinesa...orsport-builds/ We are moving some of the threads in this section to the new one over the next few days based on a reasonably quick check; If you beleive your thread is in the wrong forum, please contact a moderator of either section and we will review it. To be notified by email of new threads in either section: Navigate to the forum you want to follow Select the "Follow" button Chose the notification type You will then get an email for each new topic that is posted in the forum Happy building!

I love one make racing, did a few seasons a couple of years back and it was by far the closest and most enjoyable I've done. Unfortunately I can't see the critical mass for a skyline series, if you are serious about giving something a go try the pulsar series.....cheap cars (cheap panels), nice and close, sounds like a great concept

yep that's what I meant....link them here and I can move them.

Yeah the rotors probably could have lasted a bit longer but I bought them all together (little cheaper) and did them all together (little faster). They have lasted very well considering the abuse. Retail for the discs is $599 and pads $269 at just jap. Thanks Carbon 34 for the extra tips too. And no I haven't had legality issues but then my car looks like a boring volvo....on what basis were you told they were not OK? Generally an upgrade is fine although I guess you could be asked to get an engineering cert for them? BTW I agree, a good rule of thumb is to use 75% of the specified (dry) torque if you are greasing a bolt.
