Somebody just buy me a new one with 3 screwie things which bolts to the wall thingie in the engine bay. Its the only thing left in my braking system that could probably do with replacing.

Oh, since the new Alcons i have only accept a 378x36mm thick rotor which is too big for my needs i now have some new Brembos.... so many brake calipers...only one car :cool: LOL, will have to buy a gutted race GTR one day and make it a twelve wheeler so i can use all the brake setups i have laying around :)

roy get yourself one i was amaze at the difference it made, just putting the n1 and my stock r33 gts-t one side by side you can see the size difference.

Hopefully they'll be able to huff and puff down a house or two, atleast these guys house:

Or maybe not.. :D

They're 2 Borg Warner S256's, on paper they should be able to push up to 1100hp's together, though i doubt ill pass the 4-digit limit, just seems like to much but hey, i might get lucky!

Not a Nissan I know but I finally picked up my new toy this week. It's set up for gravel, and that will be its main duty but also came with a set of new 048's so will do some tarmac stuff too (LAkeside, Mt Cotton, Morgan Park, Willowbank). I just have to reverse everything I know about driving cars and learn the wrongness of front wheel drive

A friend has an Integra and Civiv that he rallies out of Newcaslte. (same model Civic) Jad to sit back and laugh the first time he ran the Civic, it was completely std except for stripped interior and safety gear...he ran it for giggles and testing purposes and was already several seconds quicker then his off its head customg VR6 powerd earlier model Golf with everything done to it...std it was quicker. That was at a section of bush that is ou the back of Newcastle where his car club runs rally stages.... So, they are a brilliant thing std and amazingly good with some basic mods

Yeh this is the ex Denise Collins ARC Recce car. SiR Civic running the 1.6 Vtec (sik Uleh - feel the vtec PoWahhhhh!). Brakes are pretty stock and it has Bilstein coilovers. LSD and CR box so should be reasonably quick. In the right hands it will take it to a few of the AWD turbo boys, but in my hands I'll be happy to finish anywhere in the front half of the field.

Wasn't a light blue golf your friend ran was it? I remember racing against a guy back when I lived down that way - his name escapes me now (this was in the late 90's)

Middle aged guy, really chatty and an absolute legend of a guy, nothing too hard or too much trouble.

Haha you've just described 50% of rally tragics.

Nah, the guy I'm thinking of was fairly young - early 20's IIRC. I think he ditched the Golf and bought a GTI Pulsar (not the GTIR), but that's about when I lost touch with him. I stopped rallying down that way in about 2000.

Some time back I showed a link to a build thread of a mate's old E30 M3 in Europe. You may remember it was his 'Ring lapper and he blew the engine and a fellow bought it there and then on the back of a tilt tray. Well it's complete now and I gotta say, it's superb.

I just want a car. I looked at what 300k buys you here in Singapore on the weekend...the answer is not as much as it should! :ermm: I just want something to punt around in, anything, please ... But an E30 M3 woudl be awesome :)

just buy the 32 GTR troy. you know you want it!

I spend part of Sunday looking into whether it can be imported here...and no. But i have found a workshop that will sell me a car and guaranteed to buy it back at about the same price less a bit of depreciation. They have plenty of Silvias so looking into that at the moment

    • 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
