Well the car that started this thread has developed a bit over the last couple of years.

Now sports an RB20DE with ITB's, cams, headwork etc. Think there is a pic in here somewhere...

It's had a couple of arguements with a total of 8 fence posts (7 at one time) which of course leads to upgrades.

With suspension mods, and a bit of tuning the car has become surprisingly competative, scoring a few 1st in class (1600 - 2000cc) and a 1st 2wd in a 3.5km hillclimb. I'm stoaked to be running an unorthadox car and beating some of the pure bread 2wd rallycars.

Here's a pic and vids from the other weekend. 10km forestry sprint. Day started at -5°C, parts of the road were permanantly frozen all day, tricky...

yeah there quite hard to come by....i bought one about 3 years ago for my mate and he ended up getting one from somewhere else....one had the same setup as mine and the other had a sr20 turbo in it.....im building up a 13BPP concrete cracker for it and will be making some body mods to look more like this :P ......

I have never heard a better sounding car in my life, absolutley unreal. Would love to hear it in person one day :sick:

Speaking of mental rotors that I would love to own, check this out: www.osca.co.nz/20build.htm

If it ain't a wotor, den it ain't a motor :)

lol, my RX7 gets parked on the 3rd basement level down from ground. when it's idling on the timer and I hop in the lift to go up to my apartment I can hear it running all the way up to the top floor and from the lift to my front door! neighbours must loooove it.

and it's a turbo so is pretty quiet by rotor standards...

Haha but you have to love it!

I had a 12A PP once upon a time, and that thing was so rude it's not funny. It idled a bit under 2000rpm and sounded magic, absolutley awesome little engine. BRAAAAP BRAAAAP BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAP

my neighbours used to hate my old rx7 and that was just a stock 12a with a big exhaust and a racing beat air cleaner, it had no guts and i lived on a hill so it was 1st gear all the way up lol....then it did the ole' rotary back fire when I shut it down

That is currently for sale ,aking good money from what i recall.

As much as i love my Skylines, if i could own any track car, i mean realistic so no Ultima GTR or F1 GTR :rofl: i would have to take the Re Amiya Super G RX7.

It would have to be track only as no way i cold drive such an outrageous car on the street

You park your rx7 in a communal garage Richard?

thats keen...I wouldnt want to leave that around!

my neighbours loved the day I moved out from mum n dads...being in a battle-axe block...our driveway went between two houses, so first car was a loud LS1.....then the R33....and having 6am starts on a weekday and 4am starts on a weekend...yeah they didnt like me much :rofl:

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
