Rega wheels eh, I had no idea what they were. They are pretty light.

Dave, are your bumpers and side skirts held on exclusively by zip ties and tek screws? lol mine's an ex drift car. It had bog falling off the drivers rear quarter when I bought it. I've re-bogged and resprayed the quarter panel, and side skirt on this side to cover the white marks from rubbing a tyre wall in its previous life...

Nah, there's some original nuts and bolts in there still plus some of my own shonky bracketry to keep the front bar on with no reo. ditto the rear.

Though the front guards have some cable ties to replace the bolts which sheared off due to being rusted solid :verymad:

Don't have any side skirts but they'd be a good idea to hide the rust holes in the sils...but black race tape does a good job of that too and stops some of the water getting into the cabin on wet days.

Sandown baby, being the "Drag strip" everbody like to claim ;)

We can line 'em up on the entry to the straight and see who will hang in there the deepest under brakes. I will win as i dont mind the taste of armco and have no problem rolling in the sandtrap if it means me shooting under you in the braking area :P

Sounds like a plan! My tyres are already old and flat spotted, so I don't mind destroying them :verymad:

It looks like a Snapon screwdriver handle. The blades are replacable when broken, you just put the blade in a vice, and tap the handle off with a hammer.

lol, can't weld plastic to metal steveo! and I wouldn't want to use the shaft weleded as a shifter. gearnobs just screw on my man.. there are a few getting around. snap-on screwdriver handle gear knobs. they even make snap-on screw driver handle keys. so it looks like your starting your car with a screwdriver.

and yes the snap-on screwdriver gearknobs and keys are the height of cool! I might grab some next time I see 'em. ;) I'll even buy you one for Christmas steve and we can weld it to your shifter on boxing day. :verymad: that's the kind of guy I am.

Ben? Russ? Can we pony up either of your rides as mine is still in pieces, a cunning attempt by Belsil80s co-driver to stop another rwd 2L from being quicker :)

Seriously, if somebody wants to enter Dutton Vic, let me know

Still working on it. My payslip has just come through so I should be able to afford it. Call me today anytime (Aus time). I've never done PI so I'm not going to state any RWD fighting words haha. Except that Troy better be quicker than me haha.

McNielly keeps hasslin me about entering, but I keep saying no.

What do you really think of the value for money in it? A coupla flying laps of PI and a bit of DECA crap doesn't really do it for me. Maybe I'm missing something? I was hoping some full throttle laps of Lang Lang bowl but seems no way :)

I can get pissed anywhere...... don't really need to travel to Vic and then jump in a race car to do that :O

EDIT: Email me if you want you dirty Ranga.

Yeh, i dont know the events at Lang Lang, i just assumed the banked oval. PI should also be fun as they are doing lots of little sections of the track as well as sprints. I am keen...but that weekend is ear marked fo rworking on my car for Sandown 28 June or doing Dutton, either way i will be back in Aus. Got to bolt the crap onto my bus so i can wring its neck :O

been seriously considering it but the car needs semis and not sure I can afford it at the moment... I don't think its really an event I would want to run on street tyres... I'll do Deca on the streets no worries but not the Dutton

also your probably allergic to 4wd cars, you would break out in a rash or something :)

I'm not sure the event is great value but it's still something I want to have a crack at

It's not quite a racing machine as I still use it to run to work and back occasionally,

as there have been a few other nice s13's I thought i'd put mine up... if anyone is interested :)

I've had the car for quite some time now, & after the money spent and fun it provides it's a keeper.

early on:

89 model silvia (hard to believe it's 20 years old)

originally dark blue,

I picked it up in 2004 from a 50 year old bloke who had done a 5 stud conversion and the late model sr20det along with some other improvements.

I used it as transport and did a drift day or two...

mysilviasemis.jpg

after adding some small touches of my own I pulled it off the road after a small traffic accident for some body work...

and to add a whole lot of stock piled bits and pieces...

repairworkDTPanels002.jpg

now:

championship honda white...

with hard to find factory kit + r33gtr front bar vents

2 way lsd, super streets, gtr sway bar, + a few other arms

alloy rad, arc cooler, oil cooler with relo kit and thermostat

tomei dump, metal cat, fujitsubo twin pipe catback

pfc, 550's, poncams, z32, avcr, and a tired hks turbo (considering a rebuild or perhaps 2871 52t)

the car is making a slightly laggy 190kw on 1 bar.

there are more horses hiding somewhere, but i'm happy for now...

i'm looking forward to the upcoming deca and winton/haunted hills later in the year, and perhaps a piarc day too :O

thanks Dane, still lot's of little bit's to do but i'm happy for now, it stays cool while being thrashed and goes/turns/stops which are the main things...

i see you've entered sandown, i'm guessing you only had a minor hiccup, I bet that's a massive relief...

hey Marlin, I haven't broken an aerocatch but talking to the guy who sold them to me he thought the standard pins were piss weak alloy... :)

thanks beer baron, "scotsman" has the same colour on a set of wheels, I saw them and fell in love too, he painted them for me, super special "chris" colour...

unfortunately a tyre guy scraped both the front wheels while putting on some new ku36 rubber recently, fun times :S

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
