Hey boys, going to pick up my rims today and placing an order for tyres. Just wondering who you would trust with your rims to get fitted, i'm going for a stretched look on 20's and i really don't feel like picking them up with dents or marks or anything on my brand spankers. Thanks

Pretty tough R32 GTR just came past my work, was sort of a gun metal grey/matte black in colour. Had a GTR front bar and the turbo sounded so good. Heard it take off from up the road and come past, nearly jizzed.

So many tunes to do this week for Matsuri...! Who's going? Should be a good day.

If you aren't aware of the drift track just outside of mackay (About 50 mins away) - http://www.facebook.com/mackaydrift

Huge drift meet This saturday and sunday (22nd and 23rd).

Yeah 8sec pass is in the bag, which is pretty freaking awesome, ran a time of 8.97 @150mph and a 1.35 sec 60ft

. Believe it or not but this puts us 0.02 sec off Theo's world record for fastest H-pattern street tyred GTR, only a bee's dick in it. The car was re-dynoed at Godzilla Motorsport before the Jambo making 900rwhp on 30psi and the gear vs speed was setup so in 4th gear it was running approx 33psi. Had the car weighed as well and came in at 1440kg with half tank of fuel, bit heavy but has all steel panels still.

On the next run the boost was pumped up to approx 35-36psi which was probably close to 1000rwhp and launched the car, it was 3mph up by half track then 3rd gear decided to let go :( $$$$ oh well no world record this year. But hoping to smash it to bits once the gearbox is rebuilt. Can only get faster from now on considering there is approx 100kg + we can loose and it still has more power in the engine. Looking forward to next years Jambo f**k yeah.

f**k yeah

Was it an OS Giken gear set, seem to remember something like that. Where to from there?

Must be slightly disappointing. So close to the record its redicuolous lol. But I guess at that power/speed it doesn't take much.

Nah it was PPG Dogbox strongest box on the market but not Hipo GTR proof, where to from here probably strip the gearbox and see how much damage has been done it will be cheaper to rebuild it rather change setup then have another crack at the record.

That's right. I knew it was one of the top ones (would have to be lol)

Hopefully its not to bad then. Won't be real fun if your rebuilding gearboxes after every few runs

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
