9. MOTOSPORT (mo-tor sport) n.

Male ........ The most prized source of entertainment, with burning rubber and spent fumes an aromic byproduct.

Female ..... What? :P

Hey Luke (Heslo) :kiss:

I went and spoke to John Keen tonight and I reckon I may get him to do the turbo swap & tune over the next few weeks unless something better comes along in the meantime.

He's got his hands full with the Sniper 32 GTR at the moment (engine out)

That's better Luke :kiss:

No rush at all Pete! Take your time honestly, I still have parts to get myself and get my manifolds ported (have to get them off first!) So when you are ready you are ready, it's as simple as that!

Took a carload of rubbish items to the Wingfield dump today .... after I unloaded came back to the weighbridge and came in at 1,640kg - so minus me 87kg the 4 door comes in at 1,553kg with a full tank of fuel and fully wet. So around 1,480kg dry by my calculations.

I have always dreamed of having an SAU drag/dyno day at AIR where we corner weigh each car, then dyno each car, then run them down the strip. We could then graph weigh vs power vs 1/4 mile times .... how much fun would that be? Might consider organising it if AIR ever opens again.

an sau drags day would be awesome if air ever reopens, im down for sure!

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
