Looks sick mate! Things always seem to take so much longer then you think though

Good to hear you haven't given up on it even after all this time, it would be awesome to see it finished one day

Ah right, interesting, the ones we have are definitely different. All good now though got one off Nowelly

Yeah it does but surprisingly the RB20 one is longer/markings in a different spot

2013 thread revival! So what happened/is happening to this race car?

Need an RB25 engine oil dipstick if anyone can help?

Ok sick, nah I've got one thanks, was just wondering if I should bother putting it in.

You're making good progress mate, should be sick when done. Did you have a carbon cannister when you took it over pits down here, or did you take it out after? I'm wondering if I would get away with out it.

I hate setting goals as I always seem to underestimate how much time things will take, but the good news is that everything is starting to go back in the car. I'd like to say it will be track ready by the end of the month but there's a couple of potentially time consuming things that are out of our control, so we'll see what happens

When you planning on hitting the track Toffy?

I haven't seen that style of front bar before, looks good. Please take me for a ride at Powercruise! I love this car

The rusted pipe is a press fit into the bottom half of the inlet plenum, so with a bit of difficulty you can crush it inwards and remove it, then if you know a machinist you could get them to make up a new piece with the right tolerances to press in. I have been told you can buy this piece but I couldn't find one, there's no part number for it in FAST so I doubt you would get it from Nissan. So it would probably end up being easier for you to buy a new inlet manifold.

Yeah planning on getting out there for a look on Sunday, should be a sick weekend of racing!

Sounds good, if you're handy with a welder its not too hard to put some baffles and trapdoors in the standard sump, and extend the pickup to the middle. It might not really be necessary if you're overfilling the oil but if you've got the time the extra security wouldn't hurt.

Love the updates mate, keep them coming! Have you got many oil control mods planned?

Ok cool, I'll see how I go getting rid of them down here first. If I can't we should be able to sort something out, thanks PM'd

Haha, I'm open to offers?

As title says I'm looking to swap two 265/35/R18 tyres for two 215 - 235/xx/R18's. There is the choice of either Falken Ziex ZE329's or Nexen N3000's. Both sets have been used but have heaps of tread left. I'm looking to swap as they won't fit on the front. May consider selling the lot for the right price but would prefer to swap. Falken top, Nexen bottom:

I was just looking at those the other day, awesome wheels, but I don't really want to spend money on wheels at the moment. Should get them Pete!

No worries, thanks anyway.

Are you able to get R32 GTST rear bumper exhaust guard?

Interested in the Admiral tyres, can I come down for a look this weekend sometime?

For brake pads I would go QFM A1RM's (also supplied by gslrallysport), that's what we had on our R32 and they were great, they saw a couple of track days and after switching to these combined with Motul RBF600 brake fluid it made a very noticeable difference on the track. However, I haven't used them over a long period of time so I can't tell you how they wear or if they produce much brake dust. Pads were somewhere about $150 from memory and brake fluid about $35 a bottle (this is probably overkill for a mainly street driven car though). I have also heard that the Remsa pads are good.

Some footage I got on my Contour for a mate, Josh (driving) and Damo, from yesterday's action at Baskerville.

I think Shaw Performance were selling some a while ago? Might be gone by now though.
