hey guys

sorry m3gtr! i didnt deliberately skip your questions, just waiting for a bit more time! had a huge weekend this weekend building and fitting the engine. not sure of the place the uss auction was at but near chiba/Tokyo( i think that's how you spell it) and and no the car was passed in , we tried to bid but we were to slow! lol so we went and made an offer. ( not saying what that offer was :P )

my lack of answer was definately not to do with what you do or dont driv. The build will be expensive but most of the parts we already have, engine/transmission/ brakes/ interior/ and most body panels will be coming out and be sold, basically only want the shell and some runnning gear and steering.

roy - that evo is the business, bloody hell! i am sure we are in for an eye opener, we will give it our best shot and hopefully take the 34 back the next year.

angus - we are going in the open class! :D

T04GTR - umm the 5th gear was circlip had slipped along the shaft allows fifth gear to move along just out reach of the selector so you cant get it in. we made spcer shim so that if the circlip moves the gear cant go anywhere, we were seeing the problem mainly when we would miss shift from second to fifth instead of getting third.

hey dazza - the would give ya the sh#ts! whats she think about using her car for indy? lol like my wife sarah last year !! haha see ya friday!!

Hey Russ - are you worried about not being used to the new car/setup before going to Japan? Not much time to familiarise yourself with the new setup....

IN A WORD.... YES!!

Would be good to have more track time, with this set up but hopefully we will get two more full days here before it goes and a full day a Tsukuba the day before to practice and set up for the track, and we also have secret weapon!

intial testing has been that the car is faster and is easier to drive, so that can only be a good thing.

the new motor should give us another 1000 rpm of useable power , which help ratios heaps.

this friday is an important test!

cheers russ

Coming up quick Russ! Good luck with it mate, looks like it's coming along nicely!

Those dump pipes are a work of art, beautiful stuff.

Troy: I've got the Super Lap 2007 on DVD if you want to borrow it, I know you were trying to track some Super Laps down. I bought it from the US for $20 or so.

more superlap madness - Saurus R32 GTR at Tsukuba. probably a bit more like what Giant's car will be like than the all carbon fibre HKS Evo - that was pretty extreme!

Wow, looks kinda fast. They were saying in the clip that it is an RB26/30, tuned down from over 1000hp. And it does 8 sec 0-400.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
