Haha, why thanks Chris! :P Seems the little 32 has become my "beast" if you know what I mean, we all have an attachment to it now we've been through a bit together.

They creep up on you the silly things. In 5 weeks time i will have had my car for 10years! 8 years ago i would have told you i would have had a 94 LT1 Vette by now...oh well. :D

kinda offtopic-ish...!

but..

I told the mrs Im going here when we are in Dubai for our honeymoon :D

most likely will do the audi track tester

Unless Chris (tacker) has an event on and can take me for a lap or 5!

I just got back from Dubai and i was blown away how cool a place it is. Really nice resorts its not too crazy a price and there are cool cars galore.

There is certainly plenty for the Mrs to do to keep herself busy whilst you go do what you have to do at the race track :D

yeah, it will see Lakeside mostly, which is a driver's track, not a horsepower track. I reckon 61's for 5k is achievable. Can't be crazy loud, gotta stay under 95db :)

I didn't think 950 was overtly heavy..... what do you think we should be able to get it to? Have you built one of these pusserz?

I'm guessing this thing must be getting full slicks rather than semis? in that case I think its achieveable. On semis I think you'll need to get at least 160bhp at the wheels to have a realistic chance of 61s in that thing. What sort of power can you get from the supercharger? Or does that 5K budget stretch to a turbo conversion??? do these jiggers have a slippery in them?

Are we running a book on its stock (?) lap times on the 22nd?

I'll be back out there on the 22nd as well. Haven't had a steer for over 3 months! started work on my heap last night fixing the broken intercooler mounts... still have to swap springs around, fit & setup rear radius arms, fit the sump finally, and a few other things. Might even get its first australian wheel alignment! look out!

Well car has made 285rwkw's @ 20psi with a boost leak (injectors not sealing with plenum... farking plenum!), with 11.4 AFR's and only one cam timing change which is very promising... but now water is mixing with oil and we don't know why. I managed 1 lap of Sandown before I had to come in due to some oil spray on the manifold, and checked the dipstick to see a milky surprise.

Head gasket as replaced last week, head was decked and ever since then it's leaked. It's coming out again... :)

G'day Harry! Yeah, the plan is to run slicks on it. It's a 20V, not a charger, and it will stay that way. We still have a couple of k up our sleeve so may slip a Microtech into it at some stage. No LSD standard, but it seems they are fairly readily available on Yahoo.

Look forward to seeing you there again, I've totally worn out my 03G's, and have now got a set of KU36's to go on, really keen to see there lap time v cost v durability compared to the Dunlops.

Mate, if you ever want a hand or a drinkin buddy while you're messing with it, I'm not far away :)

Aaaaagh... mate your due for some good luck!

cheers mate. well if you get bored over the weekend, I'll be under the house working on it! Drinking buddies are always welcome!There'll be beers in the fridge mate. Have you got my number?

Those KU36 are unbeatable for the price, and will be very intersting to see how your times compare to the 03s. Will give me an idea what my Supra would have be capable of. I'd say ~2 sec slower than D03s. But 1/3rd the price! Supra ran 1:00.79 in May on them, but the rears had probably seen better days by then. But only place it would have hurt would be out of Carousell.

NA 20v? I'd suggest a piece of string from brake pedal to left nut to keep corner speeds up? lol I keep telling a mate Rob his 240Z should run 61s at Lakeside - he was over half a second faster than the Supra at QR Sprint track with a dirty old carbied L28. So no reason a 20v can't do it I suppose.

Ahh ffs!

Why did you swap the gasket anyway?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
