wow....internet fame not turning in to $$$$? Who would have thought.

I've used pretty much every brand of aftermarket bush (particularly in 32 upper arms), and found superpro to be no better or worse than any of the other brands. And given OP confirmed he does some track work, how is the 3 year warranty affected?

hhaha will do one day mate, but it's been off the road for a year since I decided to put a gtr turbo on it and turn the boost up to see what happens. now I know. but on the bright side, when it does come back it will have big turbo, full on 2" exhaust, new cam, forged rods and pistons, might even up the injectors to 300cc. should be a beast but it has most certainly seen an sau motorsport event....it did oran park GP before I blew it up

dammit, I wish I had a wierd 80s nissan with a turbo and supercharger

Yes probably noltec if they are blue (they also have an unusual knurled bolt to adjust them). And I've only ever had the aftermarket ones last a few years of hard use....I'd just replace them if I were you

+1, your engine is pinging and it is extremely dangerous. turn the boost down (or even off), don't use full throttle until you have refilled the tank with 98. If it still pings (light flashing) after a new tank of 98 octane, you need to get the computer re-tuned on a dyno

no mods or fabrication or buying required (except an extinguisher with a metal strap) undo the bolt that holds the bottom of the rear seat down and bolt the bracket in there. secure, no holes, easy to reach

Well, I've killed and rebuilt a motor or 2 over the years, and I've always had more luck when the turbos are cleaned. Your whole oil system is shared with the motor, so turbo bearings, oil cooler core, standard oil warmer, oil lines, cross block oil feed etc etc etc are all suspects where the last motor's bearings can be stuck. I use http://www.oilcheck.com.au/ for my oil analysis, they are cheap, quick, easy to deal with and happy to explain results. If you see shiney in the oil I would take an oil sample, drop and replace the oil and filter and go easy on it until the results are back. Sorry to be suggest bad news, but the sooner you find a problem the cheaper it is

umm no, it sounds poor to me. No shiney sparkles in new engines thanks. Do you have (and replace) the oil cooler/warmer where the oil filter mounts? Did you clean and inspect the turbos? You could always organise for an oil analysis check.

even better....but I guess it will slow down after a couple of days for regular updates

OK, updated (I think)

Bob those guys are unlikely to give out import papers for ADM cars, both cars I have papers for were SEVS (or the previous scheme) low volume imports

Makes more sense, I was pretty sure that the Group A cars run the Group A turbos (very modified of course) but still bush bearing and laggy as below 4000.

Actually, I have seen a copy of the application form, here it is: NAME: Don't you know who I am? CAR: Full sick orange BM man! REASON FOR EXEMPTION: My smoking hot gf wont be seen dead in anything without a v8 or turbo. FURTHER INFORMATION: Also, how would I impress people by free revving the motor at pedestrian crossings. People who think they are special and make it hard for genuine enthusiasts shit me. This whole thread is about the fact they we already have more than enough negative publicity in this community.

The whole drivetrain is pretty bloody good from the factory - only the most serious drag cars break anything except gearboxes. But to be honest a genuine 700hp would put you in the "serious drag car" category so no guarantees

no worries, I'll try and update the first post as people post up. And I've added my car's wakie time dyno details to add soonish too.

eyelashes Kat....practice fluttering them as hard as you can!

BTW I totally agree with this. no doubt rwd is the most fun to drive. it's just when you are chosing a formula/set of rules, it may not be the cheapest, fastest, or most competitive.

well on tarmac, the btcc fwd cars certainly show the advantage of being able to keep their foot down when the car starts to oversteer....those guys catch the biggest angle slides I've ever seen. If you were in a rwd you would give up and hit the anchors, going along for the ride, waaaay sooner.

love both of them I'm not that familiar with specs, are either of them irs? And is wikipedia right that your coupe is one of 120? "In 1979, 120 2-door coupé models were assembled in Australia, apparently due to a mix-up with Nissan Australia's kit ordering system." good to see people keeping it in the family.

umm I'm sure he had an option to buy a car that was not turbo or 8cyl. pretty simple right? people taking the piss on laws (or thinking because they are famous or have money that they can ignore them) are exactly what makes it so much harder for normal people. for every wanker like that, the rest of us have to work 10x harder at being good

Totally agreed. If you want to discuss how hectic you are try another forum. Thread closed.

hahah good movie. just watching it myself

mate if I'm the best you've got, you're in trouble. Haven't you met my kids?

lol attitudes are different in the stagea section. do you actually have tint on the car? the c34s came with "privacy" glass (not tinting) on the rears and cargo area that is very dark - but is legal
