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 :)

lol!

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

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
