You would hate that car if you did the event. The first time you heard it it was tops. After 3 days of hearing it you were just praying it would blow up.

Yeah definately second that. Looked good but that thing blipping the accelerator was deafening. At least he turned it off when waiting. $400K to build though one of the Porsche guys was saying! :rofl:

$40,000 worth of brakes.......

Glad to see all 3 of hte SAU cars made it all the way through the event without trouble. Go nissan!

Jack - the black R32 GT-R from NSW was fastest at Sandown with a 1.20.0.

mmm sweet sentence. the fastest car at a VIC track was a GTR. from NSW. and a 32 no less! giddy up!

congrats to all those out there. especially troy, you did mighty well it seems for someone with a below average IQ... you are pretty good looking though so perhaps the timing guys were kind to you? hehe well done mate. you made 57-1 a reality. good work.

lol... poor frisby.

And it was almost a win for me. My plates are BRI-58Y, the NSW GTR had the plates BRI-73Y. His name was Brighty and he was a blood nut to boot...only he could drive and had a quick car :P

man that is creepy. so what you are saying is basically this bloke was a smarter, faster better looking version of you, with enough sense to stay in NSW to boot? damn that hurts.

i still love you troy boy. you can booty call me any time.

Okay here is my rundown of the weekend James style:

- Chris is an absolute legend and we were definately the noisiest people at the dinner presentation on Friday night when he took out three trophys for the quickest times.

- Brisby broke one of Chris' trophys while very drunk and fighting for the front seat of the car with Snowy for their lift home whilst very intoxicated.

- Snowys daughter Keira or Snowflake as adam likes to call her, is the most adorable little girl in the whole wide world.

- Going to the Shepparton Strippers is not advised even if eveyone else is going.

- Driving back from Shepparton I was behind the Z Tuned and a GT2 who decided to have a little bit of fun while driving next to each other on the hume and it was the best thing I saw all weekend!!

- Adam wins everything on style points and had plenty of cheers.

- James enjoyed driving around shepparton while still wearing his stealth race helmet because he forgot his sunglasses and it had a tinted viser.

- No matter what dutton rally organisers tell you it is illegal to wear no number plates during transit stages of the rally, adam and Brisby both got a $120 Fine and three demerit points. We were pulled over for 50 minutes by the Benalla TMU, the organisers were even speaking to him on my mobile phone, but no dice we still got the fine.

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

- Chris and Snowy were the coolest SAU team (Did we expect anything less!) as they both cleaned up in their class results and the overall results. Well Done Guys!!

- Even though they are the coolest they nealry killed us all at Winton when they pushed the car to extreme limits and my heart certainly stopped for at least three seconds as snowy spun onto the main straight but then put the boot back in to get a killer lap, Chris did the same down the back side of the track. These boys definately drove hard all weekend!!

- I was consistantly placed in the mid field all weekend but I'm just glad i finished. Definately need more track practise before next year.

- Adam got a trohpy for 2nd place in our class and also came 8th overall in the co drivers handicap.

- James did a fantastic job behind the wheel of the Silver bullet, he's never even driven a rear wheel drive before. I wouldn't be suprised if he brings out the cheater EVO for next year.

- Brisby did really well in our class and came in at the front of the field which is great.

- The shepparton barstaff need to realise that fiddy is not a replacement for the word fifty unless you are a nigro rapper.

- SAU events rock, we get so much track time and have so much fun and the motokhanas are much better than some of the dutton ones!

- EVO's are cheater cars.

- Big thanks to Bec and Min for carrying all our crap around, go team SAU Support crew!

- I don't want to think about Dutton again until March next year because i'm too tired.

Thats about it from me.

what happened to the times at Sandown ? Was there a problem with the car?

They claimed it had no pull in 4th and 5th gear????

I thought i easily did a 1:24 as it felt real quick. But i think the 1.5bar meant that combination of dead rear tyres and shagged diff meant i was slow onto the straights and only did a 1:27 :) Now that the event is behind me ive got the sh1ts i didnt get the diff into the car in time :)

And Scotsmans was too lazy to remove my wheels and adjust my handbrake....like he had better things to do :)

ahhh it all makes sense now!!! One of the Gibson Cars?

Yep, it will be so cool if there are 3 GTS-Rs out there :no:

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

Yeh, im knackered. I dont think i could have done a 4th day. Did you bag the sub 1:30 you were chasing? But more importantly, did you have Top Gun pumping whilst the camera was in the car :(

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
