  1. no-one can do burnouts on a public road....the laws of physics prevents it. Burnouts only work off the street. kind of like sump baffle syndrome only exists in NSW and n1 pumps only fail in vic. but...n/a skylines are still great.....better than a falcodore or something.
  2. great upgrade brad
  3. banned. f**k off elsewhere if you want to be an idiot and give import drivers a bad name
  4. what did you decide to do? I have done both, but thru the top is easiest in most cases. particularly if the box is staying in. The sump can foul on the sway bar but a bit of tilt on the motor will get it past that, thos engine tilters or similar are handy
  5. I don't have any issue with any core, I run an ebay one on the race car with no problems. But yes the cost of making a custom fit can quickly exceed the cost of a car specific kit
  6. lol I'm even slower than Nick! Hope you had a good trip Micah
  7. umm bit late, but yes - that is the main "fuse" in the car. did you get it sorted?
  8. good catch....first time I got caught out by this I had to pull the front off the motor to fix the leak its genuine nissan design which is not like them at all....normally everything fits properly first time
  9. in! we are heading up for a run
  10. where abouts are you based chef? I've got SK's setup in mine and it is great. Only bilsteins, springs, swaybars
  11. very bad news for me. I vowed never to get pay TV because Murdoch tried to kill Rugby League. Now there is a 24hr racing channel. And NSW Production Car racing is going to be featured in their coverage starting our next round in 3 weeks. Good on them for supporting local racing/content as well as repackaged international stuff. And I bet cockrane is spewing that there is a genuine option to his boring v8 supertaxi racing
  12. and, the rears probably aren't working that hard depending on how stiff the front v rear springs are. Just put some better pads and discs on the rear it will be fine.
  13. shan I think you are right....all of these things have been caused by an autobot. POLICE....you have had a hell of a run of luck....I'm with Phil, buy a lotto ticket!
  14. wow! I've got the same problem in my stagea, 15.1-15.5v and have just changed the alternator for the same result. so...same question for you that you had for Paul....which fuse(s) did you return/replace??? I'll double check all of mine as well!
  15. chris is right. they need to be used in qld or they may go off!
  16. me? not yet....but will in the next few days....moving house seriously after 8pm?
  17. each to their own....I learned racing in an underpowered front drive car rather than an overpowered rear drive car....and I reckon it taught me to get the most out of the available performance. Until you get to overpowered cars where they can't get traction, there is little to no advantage in rwd or even 4wd. most controlled race categories apply power limits so fwd is no big deal. look at btcc, fwd finishes ahead of rwd 90% of the time. In any case, it is all moot if some times were wet and some times were dry (or even if everything was in the wet). Wet track is a very small part of the time in Oz and requires totally different setup - so publishing wet results was somewhere between brave and meaningless.
  18. I have no doubt IPRA rules will change in the next few years to be more turbo friendly in the next few years....they are even worse than sports sedans. None of which helps this event
  19. totally agree there will be people taking it too seriously....nature of this sort of event. but they do have a national rule book - it is just that the 3 organising clubs in 3 years have all ignored it and done their own thing. Really does not help and it plays into AASA and Irace's "do anything you like" approach. If CAMS point of difference is clear and well enforced rules they are not doing it very well (their only other points of difference are expensive permits/licenses and difficult officals )
  20. wet makes everything meaningless. those times in the first post are 20sec off what they are capable of.
  21. good to hear. I will give them a call about production/registered cars.
  22. hmmmm 3rd national supersprint, 3rd set of regs. If they would actually stick to the CAMS classes I would be happy....but production cars are not on the list. the only issue with the cams classes is improved production requiring a restrictor....I think that will be histroy within a year or 3 but right now it stops any but the most committed/mad people entering ipra. anyway...I'll be there! Just a shame there is no comparable class to defend the title in
  23. I think you need a new "mechanic"
  24. Duncan

    R35 Gt-r

    Duncan have a chat to Steve at Just Jap. He has imported the majority of the race and parts use GTRs. AUD is very strong atm so it is a good time to buy
