getting a bride zeta III logograph brand new off a mate and a pink steering wheel for the drift car haha cant wait to get it all painted up and back on the track!

Anyone got any recommendations for somewhere south to do a wheel alignment?

call andys tyre and battery i think its called in seaford.

they aligned my drift car and a few other drift cars there. the aligner has been doing it for nearlly 18 years and knows his stuff and decent price.

Well autobarn quoted me $996 for a 20L drum of gear 300, and thats basically retail price. Ive emailed some companies interstate so once i hear back from them I'll let you guys know. If i can get a 60L drum, you guys can just pay me for how much you need.

call autobarn noarlunga and ask to speak with chris ford, tell him i sent you.

he should give you a decet discount with the amount your buying hopefully. if not that was my only contact haha

I brought an FMIC kit from Just Jap on the weekend, got a call from them today at work saying that they don't have any of the coolers left that i paid for. So they are sending me a better tube and fine style cooler worth $100 extra at no extra charge :D I also got them to change the silicon hose joiners to black ones for stealth :)

cooling pro? have fun fitting it.

ive had to remake all my pipes, either because theyve had huge welding dags inside the pipes, have been too long, or have been bent at the wrong angle, on top of having to make my own brackets, replace 2 silicon joiners, and source my own bolts and spring washers. all with the following response from jjr; "you get what you pay for."

Will do buddy, should be good to go for another run like last time!

If you like, you can hire a car trailer and borrow my uterus to take the car to him, will be slow, could possibly kill the clutch or yourself but the offer is there

Life Story entry #318 - drove the silver Stag to work today. Forgot what stock suspension felt like :) Anyone else drive a waterbed?

Got into work 15 minutes early too, just so I could avoid the nightmare roadworks on Port Road. I hate roadworks. :D

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
