This is an awsome car.

On a different note those number plates with the red strip across em in ur pic,

does that mean they are temporary licence plates or is that how cars get defected in japan.

just curious....

yeah your on, temporary plates they are... you need them when your in the process of getting your car registered... there good for a week if you get them on a monday... lots of people also use them to temp-legalize a non-street legal car for a track day...

not to shabby, a bit high and the Aero is just slapped on but oh well....

the flake shows best in streetlamps and other night time artificial lights... in the sun the general shinyness of the car seams to mask the flake... but it still looks great, chicks dig it...

so its official we were gonna name her Dorthy but Betty seams to work better, when the song black betty just happened to come on when i was thinking of names...

2 stroke as in 200cc?

nah 2-stroke as in 2-cycle, not a 4 stroke, more like a motorcycle motor then a car...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_cycle

It actually drifts very well, i was surprised i knew it would do good, but the smoothness of the big car just makes it insanely easy to manipulate cause of the feel of sort of drifting in slow-motion... but it deffinatly doesnt stop as fast as my past drift cars (lighter and smaller).... didnt get any drift shots sorry, i was just f**king around....

on another note i will say that my suspension does beautifully at 200+ Kph we did the trip out to Daikoku this weekend.... and the car didnt have a shutter on the high speed turns... out handled a touge civic haha, and out ran a Rx7 so im happy....

unfortunatly the Tranny that came with the swap is less then perfect and i have to track down a replacement soon before i head to the track...

should be at a Gymkana on the 15th of June we'll get pics then....

thanks again for all the good words...

yea dats gud 2 hear :P

has it got a s13 box in it now? go s14? or reco da s14 if u got dat in it..

well its mean-ness will scare my ceffy off da road so da good words are granted :D

GL wit it all

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • 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.
