when were you sneek off to oran park mate, pit crew?

Yeh mate, helping my mate with his Saloon Car, will be on Speedweek on the 12th Nov i think. if you watch it he's #80 in a falcon! Left Thursday morning at 4am towing the car, and got back 8am Monday, you could say a quick trip! :happy:

I could have got some silver tint but it would have cost alot more than i paid ;)

Some of the guys at wynns can do some great tint jobs. i'll try and get some pictures of our tinters car when he gets it back. he has silver tint with flames cut out and red tint for the flames

just thought id mention im an idiot

left my lights on 2day 4 some reason

went 2 jump start my car

and somehow put leads on wrong way and by the time i realised the leads were melting, i heard weird noises n smoke everywhere lol

then it took about an hour afta i started the car for everything to seem to go bk 2 normal. my alarm was making wierd noises but then started working again after a while

any1 know if i would have done anything bad to the car? would have been connected for about 15 secs.

that doesnt sound good at all mate. but to put your mine at ease, an alarm making funny noise is a concern. although mine played up a while back in winter just before i fried my starter motor but its fine now.

been driving all day 2day, seems ok.

although i think ive detuned it, it really laggy and loose power over 4.5k

time 4 a tuneeeee

also need to get front pads, any1 know the type they r, cos every time i go mechanic he had to take them off, trace them and fax 2 his supplier 2 get the right ones in, so i wana know wat type so i can go get the myself

lol your lucky.. I bought a new battery, bloke asked me what side i want the positive I said top right. Got home, it was going dark, couldn't see too well hooked battery up. Upon touching the last terminal i saw a big spark and a big crack noise from the fuse box.

Blown powerfc, blew multiple cheap fuses under the dash and an expensive $35 75amp fuse in the fuse box.

It was a cheap batter so it had the + and - pressed in to the top plastic, so not easy to see at night. :P

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
