Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

I'd come too but im afraid you'll disappoint me :down:

But thats a good thing for me :P I've been told by Tracy, if I break another bone, no sex for a year :D

We racers joke about crashing ... if you talk about it, it doesn't happen. But I have crashed out at Mallala quite a few times now ... altho not recently. Haven't crashed in about 6-7 track days ... so I'm due for one! :ermm:

I need to get out to Mallala and pick the pace up a bit and see how strong my shoulder is now to the hard braking on the bike.

might come down Ruby, its only down the road from me :P

Didn't you buy new boots not long ago? haha

Yeah I did get new boots a while ago. I meant "new helmet and gloves".

I've done one track day since I broke my shoulder earlier this year ... and I was slow the last time out at Mallala due to that psychological barrier from the crash. The groups are "slow", "medium", "fast" and "race". I'll put myself in the group under the racers. Just so I can pace myself and not be tempted to do stupid things with the faster riders. Tyres will need replacing after this track day, so I might not get good times anyway. I'm not even going to time myself. I'm just going to go and have fun.

I'd love to put myself in the medium group and really carve up some riders, but I'll be sent home for dangerous behaviour ... or forced into the faster group ... so I can't do that :P

:D

ill time ya :down:

I wouldn't want to know. :ermm:

If I have no expectations, I'll have no disappointments. Until I'm sure I'm not held back by the "haunting memories" of my crash, I know I'll be slower. Plus the threat of no sex for a year kinda hurts the motivation :D

When I finish work today I gotta race home and prepare the bike, check all fluids, brakes, chain, tyres etc. I shoulda done that during the week instead of leaving it to the last minute :D

I've still got a low km pair of R34 GTR V-Spec turbos in the shed that I may let go for $650 each otherwise you'll pay at least double that for after market ones.

Thanks champ i thought about getting stock ones on while i save for the upgrade but figure its too much hassle, switching em over and paying for them. im just gonna buy a setof GT2860-5s from either croydon racing or if i have the coinin time may try and get yours.... If they're not already sold by then

I've decided I'm going to do a track day at the Phillip Island GP track again early next year. Its been over a year since my last blast around PI and I'm itching to shit myself again going round Lukey Heights :down:

Road trip anyone? :D

Yeah Tim, my headunit hasn't and never has worked since I got the car from Japan last November and I haven't been bothered getting a new one. I just like listening to the RB26 hit boost!

...and listen to my music on my phone!

yeah i was cranking the mp3 player for a bit, but i just wanted something that was easier to use, i got am mp3 headunit so i only need 1 cd.

and ive only got an sr, it gets a bit boring to listen to after a while, haha.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
