cheers

LOL @ mardi gras!!!!

It's a 94 clubman.

Motor is standard 1.8l, even standard exhaust and intake!!

Brakes are standard too, just has hawk pads, braided lines, master cylinder brace

Suspension has tein flex, whiteline front sway bar

6pt cage, sparco drivers seat, daytona passenger seat

Weighs just over 1000kg!

Racing it on Sunday at op gp!

Prev owner did a 1.27.3 on gp already!!

My plans,

Full exhaust, intake, rx7 calipers and that's it!!

I think it's going to be a great car to learn how to race properly in!! Can't wait!!!

Hey dude, nice to meet you yesterday at Greg's.

Jay! Yeah but most likely next year? Will see how it goes! Although maybe see towards end of year?

Michael!!! Wow small world!!!! Glad to see you made it home safely mate!!! Garage looks great!!!

excellent choice chris. I looked at these pretty closely before deciding I needed to own only nissans.

You have plenty of options to race it too, a busy mx5 club, track days and production sports cars.

BTW It will go much quicker than 1.27 at OP on good tyres....you'll have good fun in it.

putting together a little evo 3 further to the rx7 at the moment, its a gsr not an rs hence the sound deadener

always wanted one of these classic shape evos since driving a mates around baskerville about ten years ago

need to finish it off for a mate to borrow to use at targa tasmania this year so its all systems go and should get it back from the cage fabricator in a week or so

using it to showcase some of benson motorsports specialst tarmac rally products soon to be launched and up until last weekend it was a bog stock road car

who's doing the cage stu?

We're pulling off the doors, and stripping the interior out of the new R33 this weekend ready to put the cage in next weekend. The Brakes and rear hubs should get here early next week.

Ay???

Dad got a 2nd car to fix the Targa car, but he ended up getting cheap parts. So we're doing the 2nd car up as a twin to sell. The white car got a Fresh N1 engine, and the old N1 engine is being refeshed and put in the 2nd car.

darren elphinstone from up near burnie is doing it for me.

if you need a bonnet, skirts, boot, wing, gt2860r-7 turbos (top condition) or another N1 engine (low k, being refreshened right now) have got it all in stock!!

You've just given yourself a very steep learning curve, but i think you'll end up a better driver for it. Ignoring my old braking points was (and still is) the hardest for me.

You missed 2 very important things in your list of bits. It has a nardi and work emotions. You already have drift cred :D

hahahah yes forgot about them! But I thought the nardi was standard on the clubmans?

Had it at OP GP today and did a 1.30.4 - 2 seconds slower than my r33...and 1st in class!

So Im happy, as my goal for first time out there was a 1.30!

There is alot to learn!

Braking points is the first....as you said! haha

I just cant believe the corner speed it has! Cant wait to get some more time in it and use the corner speed to go faster!

It is going to be a big learning curve, but thats what I want! get the lines and corners and braking points sorted, then go faster!

All in all, t'was a fun day of racing!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
