g'day neil

mate the last time my rb30det ran was jan 06. the shell has been sold and the donk is now in a hr31 coupe. as of tomorrow's payday i am 100% debt free. all money from hereon in will be sent towards car. last week picked up my jcc widebody kit from powerplay (cost me the same price as what the entire car cost me. stupidity, but what the heck). same kit as on this jap group a hr31 ive uploaded

ive stripped the coupe, then it goes to be caged, kit fitted and painted up.then cams log book then swapped to race/rally rego.

then i'm back in the game. just fun track days, some drag days, and hopefully my aim is joining you on the hillclimb meets

cheers, mark

Good to hear mate,,,long time no talk,,,I miss you :):( .

An R31 coupe hey,,,nice choice,,,sure better than an old run of the mill R32 GTR,,,

Neil.

They look like Buddy Club P1 Racing QFs.

One of the lightest, non-magnesium wheels in the world.

oh nice! thankyou!!

i am looking into that now! f**k they are hot!

now i gotta work out which set of wheels to sell.. to pay for them!

Great thread!!! Some awesome cars that's for sure!!!

I wish I had a race car.... :thumbsup:

I totally agree on both points.

unfortunately the bank account doesn't stretch out enough atm to get myself a track car. Bt it should be expanding soon enough :)

meh *buying* something is pretty cheap. I only paid $9k for my car, I'm sure there are people on here who have spent more on a turbo kit :thumbsup:

and first rule of race cars is...."don't race something you can't afford to write off"

Its running and repairing it that kills me

Sounds like a top plan. :huh: What colour though ?

i could afford to buy a cheap car, its the running cost that are stopping me from getting one. I don't want to spend a heap of money to have it sitting around gathering dust.

This doesnt belong to me. but it belongs to a good friend of mine

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
