  1. Very sad to see this, it was a very fast crash at a very fast track - Dan was right up the back and had nowhere to go.
  2. meh are you there to be the 1 car that wins or one of the 40 cars that has a great day's fun? If you want to win take a mini special.
  3. coupe conversion kit?
  4. where'd ya get that ratio, 34 gtr? I was thinking the same thing today..... btw hills have a 4wd dyno. what computer?
  5. /bans zebra wow!
  6. Good idea Ryan, I wish I had a f**k off button.
  7. yawn. at least it will full up the gap until the rugby
  8. I spotted a silver m35 in the same place!
  9. 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!
  10. 360klm, 5 hours, 1 tank of fuel (just), a million bends, and no problems. I had a good day today
  11. Thanks, and same to you. These things always take longer than you expect.....I'm looking forward to some quality time with the car
  12. yup...new adapter (different supplier)....new bearings....new crank....new rings. Fingers crossed this time!
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. hahah you said bush! and sprong
  17. so there....listen to Brad not me
  18. 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
  19. f**king a. i'll bet that is his last run in the taxis
  20. 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
  21. lol you still in france pete? warm up has started (mine, not the cars')
  22. beer is cooling. still got 14 hours, should be enough. bathurst is that special day when beer can start before midday.
  23. 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.
  24. camber arms are easier to install, have more adjustment, and will be noisier and last much less time
