This is part of the original fuji speedway circuit. the 30 degree banking. It's hard to capture on film just how steep it is. you can barely climb up it. and spectators used to watch from the top. many people were killed. :( but damn it would have been awesome to race on.

it's the other way 'round. no squish pad = no detonation problem (at a small cost of response). the 26 head is a tad detonation prone. the squish pads aid response (NFI how though). removing them costs some response, but enables more boost and more punishment before detonation occurs. any serious race head I have seen in aus and japan has them removed on both sides. being the half arse racer I am mine will just have one side removed as I didn't want to pay out too much response. >_<

arrha..more boost less det; cant wait to read the full spec mate. As alway, nice pics BB >_<

yep that's the plan. like the tatoo on my left butt cheek reads: "1 bar boost is for women and children". I will be running 1.5bar+ with this set-up. :P

Beer Baron this is the best thread on SAU history. My opinion. I must go with you one day. You lucky lucky.

Get me a GT500 350Z rear wing please. Could not see any Z32's? What is the matter with Nismo??

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
