Oooh how fun! Good thread dude! I hope alot of you guys go down and give it a whirl. I've already got my dyno sheets so im right lol. But for the rest of you be a good idea on what your getting even tho dallas dyno is out of wack a bit!

I think i recall Fabio saying 70$ for 3 runs or something? So group buy be alot cheaper.

In the talk of dyno and drags, who's entering this up-coming event?

I'll have fresh tyres and some better gearbox oil in so im up. I get paid before the day so no excuses this time! Touch wood!

I have a few entry forms for the Show 'n' Shine if anyone wants one. They can be dropped off at ASAP or The bike shop near the traffic lights...

You can pay when drop off or on the day! i rekon we enter the Street Machine category. if we can get enough of us to enter they will add a category for us next year!!! So everyone needs to enter, it's only $20...

hey az that info's good as, sadly to say i wont be entering my car in the show and shine, sadly it wont be painted and ready by then, good luck to everyone else going, make the v8's look silly ha ha..

bad luck lee hope it all works out for you man

$20 aint much to support the cause! Any presentable car in town has no excuse for not turning up.

Even though the judges will be V8 biased, hopefully a import will get a place in Street Machine.

Surely a import will take out the sound off.

:banana: My front bar is hacked up by rocks and chips from the previous owner and myself... Adelaide trucks can do that to you... bah! The rest of my car is in alright condition. Looks great with a polish and ect.

Do they check the inside of your car haha :D Mine's clean as a whistle! Always is. Dont like a dirty interior.

So your in! great.. My bar is chipped too and my guard has a dent. unless i can get the new ones on in time!

Can anyone repair fibreglass as they arrived today and one has a small crack!!

Who's cruisin tomorrow night(Saturday)????

hey man hit fabio up for the fibreglass, if not maybe grab a kit from chembrie at ASAP and give that a go, only prob in you'll need to get the bit you reglassed painted cause you have to rub down the surrounding area... best of luck man..

oh and ill prob be out but i got balled back tyres :) might save up for new rim and tyre package rather than spend on tyres seeings it only gets driven on weekends lol..

catch

My farking low beam globe blew up on the weekend... typical. 1st my fog light and now this one... They were awsome while they lasted.. 9weeks.... lol. Imight just put my standard crap in... Orange/yellow crud.

Yeah jimmy man, if your still up for doing a bit of finishing up cleaning at the carwash before we head to S&S on sunday let me know. I'll have to spend some time cleaning the crap out of mine and would be better to roll up with someone then be nigal lol

ok guys wat should i do for my sr20det 180sx??

here are the options:

1. rebuild my current motor with forged internals ect ect - will cost roughly $3000.00 in parts

2. buy another standard engine and just replace mine - can get one for about $2000.00

3. buy an rb25 and do a conversion into my car - is going to cost about $5000 from a place in adelaide going off their website. might cost more i dont know

currently my engine is suffering from low compression, dead turbo and the keyway on the crank is worn out.

im only looking to make about 240 ish rwkw and this can be done with a standard bottom end and will still be reliable.

so what you think?

Guest Rexlr8

My choice be 2.

I would go the Std engine. If your only after 220-240kws then that can happen no worries on std internals and engine man. Bolt on could get you netting that and still be very streetable and a weapon at that. And on lowish boost.

It will be cheaper for you to buy a std engine and then bolt ons and a trip down to adelaide or melb for not that much.

But thats all i would do. Rb25 is sweet, but for that extra $$ you could put towards other things.

Its entirly up to you tho man. My choice will would be above. Std engine. Your current bolt ons plus a decent bang turbo and a sweet tune and you will have your 220-240kw no friggen worries. If i can get almost that at all 4's with just bolt ons and a tune you will have it no worries without breaking a sweat!!!. And the left over money can go towards panels maybe? Paint? Im sure Fab will help you out eh?

Hopefully you make a decision soon tho :( Roads pretty empty out there without that chick on the bonnet :laugh:

But as i said before, up to you man. Do what you think you will be happy with.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
