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.

lol lets call it a draw Dave!

this place will be called S13AU before long!

Hahaha, great stuff!

Hows it attached? Just welded on?

it screws on. NFI how they got the screwdriver shaft out of the handle

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.

Hahaha, great stuff!

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

edit: sorry for the large pics :sick:

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

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
