Finally got to take the Silvia out and have a run with the new MCA suspension on the weekend. Worth every cent is all i can say the car was awesome to drive, we unfortunately had to retire after stage 2 with a burst water line under the plenum that we couldnt fix in time but was 2nd outright behind an evo 9 untill then.

Go the S13!! So good to see a cool RWD car ripping it up against AWD evo/rexies!

Well I finally got my R32 GTST out on the track for Time Attack at Lakeside on the weekend.

Never having driven the car I started off slow and was building up speed.

Blew a turbo and diff for the day and retired early.

Still had a great day and at least I didn't hit the wall. Thats racing.

Posted a 1:12.3400 for the day and still had an excellent day anyway.

nice man.

it always a good feeling taking a car out for the first time, shame bout the turbo though..

with the cage did you bump it with the hemet much? was it annoying? asking cause i think i will with mine.

Cage was a pain in the arse. I have the seat as low as I can. I am six foot and can't really see the front left side of the bonnet. The whole time my head was either resting or bouncing off the cage to the side above the window. Probably wouldn't without the padding. I will have to find a solution.

Madly sourcing parts to hopefully get another round in before the end of the year. Not sure I will but otherwise back in force next year.

Sounds interesting. Try opening the bmp in Microsoft Paint, then go to the File menu > Save As - save window will show up, change the "Save as type" drop down menu to "Jpeg" - save it somewhere like My Documents and try uploading your newly created .jpg version.

try again lol

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
