    I think its simple. If you have the money and are comitted you should definately go the seperate track car. If you don't have much to spend on track stuff (think $10k per year) take whatever car you have to the track. BUT DON'T MODIFY IT! or at least just do brakes and suspension....don't spend a cent on making more power....

    pretty sure its 17mm. the hex under the sensor not the pic

    simple question.....simple answer
  4. Duncan
    a manual gearstick and it often has an rb26 in the boot

    my particular plenum has quite long runners for greddy style....but I can't make any comment about response because I did the 3l block at the same time.... considered running no bov like me? it makes a very childish noise which makes me giggle

    was that haiku tangles?

    If you mean the ksport/d2/g4 8 piston 330mm rotor sets, that is what I have one my S1 and there were no problems bolting it up except the m12 bolts instead of m14 bolts. I used a 32 GTR kit. The 34 stagea mounting points are the same as 33/34 skyline and a whole bunch of other nissans. And the only difference to r32/s14/s15 etc is the bolt size. 35 on the other hand seems to have a different disc offset like z33 and v35.

    bad news for all those emo Xs

    its hard to tell without more context or the story from the other side.....but if that is even half true it is disgusting. there are few enough motorsport events available, any company low enough to head to the courts to stop a competitor's event will never get my entry fee.

    block most likely....everyone I've ever looked at has a little rust in the galleries.

    good work Adrian, car looked nice and straight too. I see you haven't forgotten how to do a burnout either

    btw....that race *was* boring. still no overtaking. all that happened is 2 cars that were 1 sec a lap caught 2 slower cars and could not get past. great spectacle they must be so proud!

    man....webber is the quickest vehicle to go backwards since the french tanks! and shaun....you are on drugs....button's win was lucky not masterful, and webber's hit on hamilton was just back luck afer homo stuffed it. yes there are lots of one eye-d fans on here but you are making ferrari fans sound sensible and reasonable!

    so...why did you change the water pump to fix an oil leak? most likely it is just a rocker cover gasket or cam seal. head gasket is below the power steer bracket.

    actually, I reckon we should quote "spark plug kilowatts". since internal combustion engines are only about 40% efficient a standard gtr makes over 800spkw

    lets face it....your flywheel does not drive the cars....the tyres do. other than just a bigger number, or maybe comparison to a factory car claim....what relevence is a flywheel power figure?
  17. Duncan
    lol....way to start a fight!!!! what if the friction/heat/power loss is directly related to the torque you push on it with? on the other hand....does a 1000hp drag car effectively have a 200hp heater in the gearbox??
  18. Duncan
    but its more likely you have a damaged piston. assuming the tst was accurate (and i guess there were other symptoms anyway....) just get the motor pulled down. there is no chance its ok with that compression and we are all just guessing at the cause
  19. Duncan
    for what it's worth, apart from the diff ratio, stagea/gtr/gts4 sumps are identical. i can't comment on the auto trans issue.... except to say if I did have an auto I would still run an after market ecu. my uneducated guess is the shift control impact is overstated
  20. Duncan
    out of interest....what do you think is a fair thing to happen to your unlicesed and uninsured mate?
  21. Duncan
    yeah they are the hoses I'm using
  22. Duncan
    there are 2 woodruff keys, one for the timing gear and one for the balancer. Assuming you didn't take the timing gear off and did put the one back under the balancer that is not your problem. still need to pull everything apart again to see what is wrong though....

    great test of the front splitter that pic is a crack up. I think I have spotted an issue at the rear......you have no fuel tank....at least you have space for the diffuser. we have been struggling with the same issue, fuel tank, 2nd radiator for the water to air intercooler and a diffuser all meant to go in the same spot
  24. Duncan
    we used 1/2" lines for the oil cooler and t-ed it into that
  25. Duncan
    one of us has missed something important here! could well be me as usual every motor needs to breathe to releive crank pressure. in factory it breathes back into the intake. many people change to external breathers that pic you have seems to show the factory breather back to the intake connected from the right side of catch can
