will be coming straight from impound lot, hope there's food leftover

didn't know it was a clearway from 4:30 onwards. found a sign when looking for te car but was 25-40m away. ah well. hopefully they'll let me get my wallet to pay to pickup the vehicle

Car impounded from parking spot in st Kilda. ran into the tow truck and politely asked if he could grab my wallet "you are not allowed to touch the vehicle". *sigh* $50 says they'll be a ticket inspector on the train who will still issue me a ticket.

Car - stylistically dirty. Wheels - immaculate. pfft.

at least you learn stuff on car forums

I disagree with y'all. just cause we're friends doesn't mean we are/were close. the person you don't really hang out with but would say hi and chat for a while if you ran into each other while out. they also post funny shit an it's funny cause you know what they're like. eg. guy I used to hang out a lot with chose to hang out with angry gym junkies after high school, he's still a funny guy I just don't meld with that crowd. and it's funny when posts about he's gonna kill the Kent who keyed his VL.

lukcily no one on my "facey" is like that, or if they were they would be removed. If I didnt have it, alot of the people I dont see or talk to reguarly, but are still friends with, would think ive dropped off the face of the earth and probably never speak to again. which is not good, because I enjoy their company. Online or otherwise.

is he The One?

I didnt get any good photos of it, but the whole bracket was welded together on the inside before being welded on right round the beam. was my first track day and with no clutch the times were well over 2mins, but cant complain with hitting +230kmh so much fun. Been to Winton once and got around 1:50 with the RSRs Best so far for Sandown is 1:29 with RSRs and running low boost (196kw) but loosing a lot of traction on corner exits. Hoping that with better braking, high boost and less front neg camber should crack a few more seconds off that time. During a cool down lap at Sandown the motor spun a bearing So engine is out and currently being rebuilt. Bottom end bearing disintegrated leaving the rod to bounce around Cams were shaved quite a bit and most of the springs had broken Will bump up compression to 9.5:1 using Mahle pistons New H-beam rods, new crank, lightened underiven pulleys, oil pump from an SR16VE, new block, new springs, head ported, new ACL bearings, ARP studs where there werent already, and a 2nd adjustable cam gear to match the 1 that was in there. Not aiming for much more power, want to keep it strong and reliable without destroying gears. Am happy with turbo size and spool but when it gets tuned we'll see what kind of boost to keep it at.

It is. Run into him occasionally, he likes to check up on it haha As it sits ready for track. Will eventually get around to removing the sound deadening. Have also fitted another sparco seat to the passenger side.

Alpine Mechless headunit with alpine X splits in the front with matching tweeters. Rear speakers, amps, capacitor and unnecessary wiring was removed Mounted a Sparco seat on cutom fixed rails to try and keep it low First track day at Phillip Island and the clutch cooked during the 2nd session. Managed to drive it home and eventually got an Xtreme 4-puck 900kg clamp load clutch and moly flywheel tipping the scales at just over 5kg. Got some cutome pedals made up using the 350Z design and an extra lip added to the accel Bought some OZ racing wheels with RE002's for the street. Heavy, but strong and suit the car a bit more than the TE37s, which are used as track tyres. Currently they have RSRs on them, but will get osme decent semis once they wear out. Wasn't too happy with the Flex coilovers, being dual tube and limited tunability. So got some Mis-matched BC ER series coilovers fitted. Off the shelf coilovers with independent compression and rebound adjustment are expensive and timely to get made, so fairly extensive fabrications were required to fit Evo 3 to the rear beam and S14's to the front. Springs werent too firm, but setup was finely tuned by Centreline Suspension. At the moment its -3.5 camber at the front, -1 in the rear (cant recall the other settings off the top of my head) As it sits on road duties. Car grips so much. The rear is pretty firm from stiff swaybar settings and I upgraded the tie end connections with solid whiteline ones from an STI. Its tail happy with any slight loss of grip at speed, but im getting used to it. Got it re-tuned at Chequered Tuning (high and low boost settings)

Have a tendency to ramble on, so will try to keep it simple and lots of pics. Bought a 1998 N15 SSS with extensive mods in May 2012 Quick list of mods I bought it with: GTiR motor with CP 9:1 pistons Modified GTiR Turbo by ATP Turbo (disco potato) ID1000cc Injectors SARD Fuel Rressure Regulator 3.5'' Dump Pipe into a 3'' straight-through Exhaust Power FC Race Radiators Custom Alloy 50mm Radiator w/ Twin 10 inch Spal Fans Nismo Thermostat Race Radiators Custom Front Mount Intercooler Oil Cooler with Remote Oil Filter PAR Straight Cut Gearset, 1st to 5th Gears PAR Billet Crownwheel and Pinion with 4.43 ratio Nismo 1.5 Way Mechanical LSD Whitline Rear Sway Bar VZR Pulsar Front Strut Brace Carbing Rear Strut Brace Tein Flex Coilovers R32 GTR Four Piston Callipers (front) DBA 4000 Series Front Rotors Goodridge Braided Brake Lines QFM A1RM Brake Pads From a DECA last year

yeah i should stop bringing it up in the wasteland

actually someone else, a friend of the ex-owners. I mentioned it to someone but they raised a valid point, the GTiR rods have a little tang on it to prevent the normal bearings from fitting... so either they were 19mm or different rods were used... hmmm

workshop found the cause of blown motor: big end bearings were 17mm width, which is for all SR20's except GTiR which is 19mm :| I learnt that after only 5mins of googling rookie engine build mistake it seems. ah well Found a new block Mahle pistons has been ordered New oil pump ordered 1 tomei adjustable cam gear ordered Lightened pulleys ordered everythings starting to come up Milhouse

those IT guys.... got too much cash lying around.

everyone would have if the menus werent so annoying to navigate and slow to load.

dont blame them. They work till 8 hours till 4pm then get called out at 10pm, work for 12 hours, then they go home for a 10 hour break and then return to work for the rest of the day.. During normal working hours a different crew should come and replace them.

LOL I would only go to that much effort in an exam. Every other time i'd be just meh. Or use answer from book and work backwards

I bought some oils off him a few months ago, but cant access the site recently. I keep getting Gspec and GCCorp mixed up Do you have any idea what kind of springs and rates you are going to use? after destroying my double's im trying to choose what to go next. You can buy my crank off me if you want? Polished up ok, i just plan on replacing it because it'll be the last remaining doubt in the engine (or at least I hope so). Plus, I'm chasing a block and most come with a crank anyway.

^ that was a yes for 2011 & 2012, im assuming hasnt changed. claim for 2 cars if you've sold one this year and procured another, if you roll that way.

tomato or capsicum-based with salmon. anything along the lines of that is good. not too much onion though. To go accumsump, or not to go accusump...

No i think the stock sounds were done on a dyno. Under 4krpm most stuff sounds pretty good. Its when you start modifying that everything gets thrown out of whack.

Bachelors Of Science

agree with Mig. its still a classic car just leave em be, son.
