AS AN ENTRANT FOR THE UNLIMITED RUN IN 2007 I CAN SAY THAT I THINK THE PRICE OF $1850 IS RESONABLE FOR AN EVENT THAT IS HELD OVER 4 DAYS. ALTHOUGH THIS EVENT IS NOT AS BIG AS THE GUMBALL 3000 OR THE CANNONBALL RUN, IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN AND FROM TALKING TO THE ORGANIZERS OF THIS EVENT AND SOME OF THE PREVIOUS ENTRANTS, IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE THIS EVENT IS ON THE FORE FRONT OF EVENTS LIKE THIS. THESE GUYS HAVE SOME MAJOR PLANS FOR THIS EVENT INCLUDING A 3 STATE RUN IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. I THINK THAT THIS IS FAR BETTER VALUE THAN SPENDING £28,000 (ROUGHLY $70,000AUD) ON THE GUMBALL OR $10,000 FOR THE CANNONBALL. BOTH OF THESE EVENTS HAVE SAID BE SPENDING A GOOD PART OF THEIR TIME IN SEARING HEAT IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY. I CAN THINK OF BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN WASH RED DUST OUT OF EVERY ORIFACE OF MY CAR. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A WARM UP EVENT FOR THE CANNONBALL THEIR SITE IS scphada enterprises "the unlimited run" DROP THESE GUYS A LINE OR MAYBE EVEN USE THIS EVENT TO WORK SOME BUGS OUT FOR THE CANNONBALL LIKE WE WILL BE!

You do realise of course there is more than 1 Sydney in the world, off the top of my head there is one in Canada and one in Scotland as well :).

Not to the Brits there isnt! Melbourne doesnt even exist! :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
