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.

Sounds silly but have you thought of adding some spacers to the outside of your seat mounts to angle the seat towards the middle of car. I have to do this to mine and it is comfortable.

Don't do it Dane!

Already done Mike... engine has been sold :(

so you decided to get the radical?

Sure have Dave. Very hard decision but one that made more sense for me... I think.

Cant believe you are selling it. Completely understand wanting a Radical....but you need to keep the 180!

I've just had enough of it Troy, and don't feel the same love that I once did. It's still an awesome car, but the Radical is much more awesome-er and gives me more opportunities in the future. It's also easier to sell and move on if I so decide. I keep pumping money in and don't see any reward for it so financially it makes more sense for me.

yeah keep both! failing that sell me the stack dash. me need it for new car. ;)

Would love to!

Stack dash will be available if you want it mate? I'm trying to move as much as I can in one hit before stripping it down, but I can make an exception for you if you want it big sexy :P

I hear you. I spend so much time thinking about an R300 race car with S2000 running gear. But every now and then i do skids in my car and the love returns. Plus, i can only get say 13k for mine so will never sell it. Renting an apartment with no gargae is what stops me from getting a dedicaed race car...so perhaps thats a good thing :D

Stop talkin about poofy real race cars :D

This is a Skyline forum, get your RB love back out :)

I got bored saturday, pulled mine apart a bit more.... I've decide to put the GTR gaurds on that I've had for ages, and pump the rear a lot.

Roy has also very kindly sent me his spare TD06 truck turbo kit to try/buy. Thanks again mate :)

I'm on the hunt for some 18x10.5" wheels in GTR offset guys, if you have/know of any?

I figure why run the car in "slow" Targa spec all year in the hope of doing one event. I think it's easier to mod this car how I want it, and if I do decide another Targa is on the cards, just to buy an already setup Emo and sell it or put it in the rubbish bin after the event.

I'm sure if I had of driven it again my love would have returened, but then I would have spent another 10k on it and it would be off the road again and I'd be dirty that I'd passed my chance to get a Radical.

I fully expect to part mine out to get the money I want/need. As whole cars they're just not worth much! An R300 with S200 running gear would be all sorts of awesome. Funnily enough it was your video of the R300 at Spa that got me thinking about this lightweight race car business, and I just couldn't get it out of my mind.

TD06 and 18x10.5's sounds the coots Ben :D

Bring the rims in from overseas mate and get exactly what you want. You could even grab some Enkei's from the US for a good price brand new.

thats the best think thats ever left your mouth. besides cum. haha.

its probably hard to justify having a car sitting in full targa spec thats not realy competitive on the track when you may use it once a year. plus for the cost of events like targa you can race a whole season of circuit.

and i especialy like the idea of buying emos to throw at the scenery.

it sucks dane but i know exactly why it happens. projects take too long and you just loose the love. you get no enjoyment out of a car that just sits in the garage or the workshop for years on end and still costs you $1000 a year to keep registered, another $1000 to keep it insured (and you just know as soon as you let either lapse something happens), and then there's the thousands and thousands and thousands buying bits for it hand over fist and the most enjoyment you get out of any of them is the moment they arrive in the post and you get to play with them all shiny in their boxes and then they disappear somewhere like the rest of the stuff and on goes the 'project'.

I went through exactly the same thing mate. i decided to take it off the road after a very small hiccup and then went ahead with a $25K engine build, plus another probably $20K or so of bolt ons for it and in the mean time I had other cars I was enjoying so it just say in the shed for nearly 2 years. in the end I realised it was nuts and spent a measly $1000 to get it back in exactly the same shape it was before. and now I LOVE IT again. every time I get in it I remember all the time I'd previously spent making it what it was and how much I enjoy it. I only fixed it and got it running to sell it but now not sure I can. ;)

still lets talk about dash. what I really need right now is more expensive, superfluous, racing gear.

^ +1 Baron!!

Luckily my S13 track car only took around 10 months to complete, but it's always constantly evolving and costing much more than expected!

There is certainly no subsitute for getting in the car and just driving it!

Too many people get caught up into the modifying trap and get in "project" mode to get the car up to certain spec.

It's fun building them, but even more fun driving them!

You're exactly right mate. I love the excitement of modifying the car, but the satisfaction quickly fades and them I'm onto the next thing. I also have a lack of time these days and would prefer something that is ready to go when I am rather than ferrying the car around to get alignments, tuning, modifications etc. Where I want the 180 to be is a costly, time consuming place and at the end of the day the Radical is quicker, provides more potential for racing down the track and parts for it are reasonable with quite long service lives due to the cars weight and lack of power/torque. They're also super exciting to drive!

No doubt I still love the 180 but I just came to the conclusion that it was the wisest decision for me at the moment. Let's hope I was right!

Sorry to hear that the 180 is on its way Dane but bring on the Radical. After seeing them at PI a few weeks ago at the PIARC day I know what you are in for :ermm:

The one thing I cannot wait for is taking it around PI! Downforce and slicks around there will be absolutely insane :blink:

dude you will love it at PI. haven't drive one there buy done some passenger laps in one there with garth and turn 1 at PI FLAT with two blokes in a car is scary in anyones book.

they are mental at PI. I think you drove ec right? it's great but storming down the straight at PI and turn into turn one with no brakes is scary shit.

now give me a drive you bastard. I'm not to proud to beg for drives. :P lol. happy to offer any of my crap in exchange but I doubt you'll want to drive anything I own after the radical.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
