I'm sure there's something going, I've seen a few large gatherings of older Nissan/Datsun vehicles around Hobart in the last couple of years - I'm 100% I saw a website or something once, but can't remember now what it was.

i'll then them an e-mail and find out what sort of cars are coming down.  

maybe we could try and meet up with up with them?

Save your 1s and 0s, I'll fill you in.

We have about 30 cars and 50 people coming of to terrorise the natives there over the first weekend in Feb. On Sunday (Feb 6) we have arranged a Show'n'Shine on the lawns of Parliamernt House, just from 9am to around noon - you're all welcome to come along and say hello. On the Wednesday (Feb 9), we will be up at Simmons Plains for a day of fun. The rest of the time, we will be in driver's heaven cruising some of the roads used in Targa Tassie - "99 Bends", "Elephant's Pass", "The Sideling".

On the subject of a local club, there is a guy down there who is the "organiser" for the local Z Car Club - I'll have to go ask someone for his details, and I'll get back to you.

Anyway, see you in a couple of weeks. I'm really getting into Big Kev mode, particularly after doing this tour last year as well.

Let's see, a fair few Zs (1 is a 260 2+2 with 383 Chev @ 500hp), a Rex Wagon, my RB25DET'd R32 GTS4, 200 SXs, 1600s, Silvias, 180 SXs, and a Micra!

Seems the local Z club died, so can't help you on that front. Maybe check with CAMS.

      Max horse power stock internals?

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
