  1. where'd ya get that ratio, 34 gtr? I was thinking the same thing today..... btw hills have a 4wd dyno. what computer?
  2. /bans zebra wow!
  3. Good idea Ryan, I wish I had a f**k off button.
  4. yawn. at least it will full up the gap until the rugby
  5. I spotted a silver m35 in the same place!
  6. Andrew I was using the one from down your way, it developed a major leak on the dyno. Not actually sure whose the new one is. I actually preferred the section from Broke to Wollemi, it is very tight, narrow, and no speed advisory signs to give each corner away The old pac was the most painful, it is signposted 60 from Calga to Berowra nowdays No doubt the speed limits will keep dropping on these "tourist" roads....enjoy them while you can!
  7. 360klm, 5 hours, 1 tank of fuel (just), a million bends, and no problems. I had a good day today
  8. Thanks, and same to you. These things always take longer than you expect.....I'm looking forward to some quality time with the car
  9. yup...new adapter (different supplier)....new bearings....new crank....new rings. Fingers crossed this time!
  10. picked it up from the mechanic, first drive in months. I'm going to do putty rd/singleton/mangrove mountain tomorrow to help run the motor in.
  11. well....kinda. you can use the spring tensioner to set the timing belt tension as well, you are meant to put it on, turn the motor twice on the balancer and then lock it off. But I've always just set it by feel instead.
  12. Well put Sean. Once tensioned correctly (which can be done without the spring), it is locked in place and the spring doesn't do anything. Not exactly professional, but don't worry about it.
  13. hahah you said bush! and sprong
  14. so there....listen to Brad not me
  15. Well....actually 200sx would come very close to fitting. All of the subframe end bushes (ie subframe bushes and upper and lower control arm inner end) should be the same. I thought upper control arm outer end (hub) were the same too. In any case, if they say they don't fit....I guess they know what they are talking about
  16. f**king a. i'll bet that is his last run in the taxis
  17. good point. NSW state series has been on a few times, but they want $40k+ per round to televise it (12 minutes). Aus GT and Aus Prod cars will have most rounds televised on either oneHD, 7 mate or SBS/speedweek. Aus GT was on the other day from Phillip Island including the Merc SLS, Vipers, Lambos, Porkers. They are worth watching
  18. lol you still in france pete? warm up has started (mine, not the cars')
  19. beer is cooling. still got 14 hours, should be enough. bathurst is that special day when beer can start before midday.
  20. meh there are plenty of series with variety out there, people just aren't watching them because all the marketing comes from cockrane's supertaxis, and all the audience and sponsors go straight there as a result. Australian GT and National and NSW Production cars are 3 excellent examples of variety on the grid.
  21. camber arms are easier to install, have more adjustment, and will be noisier and last much less time
  22. no way is any other brand going to put up $500k+ per car to enter the series.
  23. mmmm bathurst = beer one of these each, should be a good day not sure if I will get to watch all 4 rwc games as well as the jap gp, but I will do my best. might even extend the weekend into monday if I need to...
  24. hahaha you said flange! The saab motors run pretty low boost 5-7psi,....maybe look into a cheap boost controller and dyno run to make sure it all is safe. BTW nothing wrong with saabs, the less GM (ie earlier) the better. Our old convertible did oran park in under 1m.
