hmm liz how bout a sr20 powered mx5 ? cool and quick :)

too expensive

if it's a track car, it needs to be cheap to set up and cheap to run and repair!

so s13 with s14 engine and s15 brakes.. i reckon it's a good combo

sic! ur a champ :thumbsup:

dont spose u know, what are trust t618z's rated to? are they 800hp like the gt-rs's?

no idea, for all my turbo needs I talk to slide

so your forcing your dreams onto me :thumbsup: you sound like a bad father. "you'll do it because i say so!" :)

the thing with the 20btt is that it has 224kw and 401nm of torque stock! also bear in mind that its making that torque from 2500rpm upto 5500rpm i believe. no sr could match that. now change the turbo's up the boost to around 15psi each and your going to have a very very quick car with almost no work involved at all! meanwhile the little sr20 is still trying to make the same power with the same mods.

its going to be a hill climb car. s13 are too heavy for what i want. mx-5 is lighter and same price range

edit: troy, the coilovers i want for it are 3k for the set. tarmac rally spec ones from tein, have to be brought over from japan

from what bullet told me there isnt a lot needed other than the mounts and driveline (i could be mistaken)

sounds good, but i have to restrain myself from looking for one just yet, not till insurance pay me. they could take months for all i know :) i want the car now, but i cant yet :thumbsup:

but you didn't answer my question who makes that kit?

you never asked me that question :thumbsup: the body kit - GARAGE VARY, engine mounts - Bullet racing, suspension - TEIN. didnt know which one you meant since you didnt really ask me?

lol, no... not towin any boats or anythin.

the washer between the plates was worn out or something.

dan replaced it a few wks back.

something went wrong last sunday taking off up a steep hill and started to make a really loud noise.

ended up being the spiggot bush which was replaced today.

also replaced some needle thing in the clutch to from what it orginally came with to a nismo one.

feels alot smoother with the gear changes now.

1200HP CLUTCH!!!

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
