sa-weeet

plans are changin design wise, my mate was having a look at Podlewski's trailer

fold up ramps = no need for tilt = cost saving

ka-ching ka-ching

yeah, but did you see him putting it on the trailer, front bar was nearly ripped off, but i guess yours aint as low as his, and i dont see how making ramps would work out cheaper than tilt, you sort of need both, and remeber that big ramps = more weight to tow around

yeah, and we've already considered how not to do it after seeing that LOL. The cost saving is purely on that the price he'd given me already hadnt factored ramps (as they were going to be the last thing made anyway), plus you have to have some way of tilting (either a jack / air bag system / etc). The need to not have to tilt has made it a lil bit clearer now :thumbsup: Tilt will still be an option for his future constructions though.

ramps will be made slightly differently to simon's trailer, just the same sort of idea (hinged half way). Luke was talkin bout makin them out of aluminium as opposed to steel anyway (light weight but strong)

Matty, when i see you next i will explain how simple tilt is to make, as i use to make many different styles of tilt, but sort of need to know you basic design to see if it could work, and im more than happy to help out if reqired.

What you think? New from Nissan or just grab one from the wreckers and save some $$$?

Dont get second hand suspension parts (that wear - anything with ball joints etc.) - order a pair of new ones and enjoy the improved ride quality. Some cars chew through tie rods quicker than others (my old valiants were only good for 40,000km if I was lucky) but the improvement when you replaced them was very noticable.

windows vista os composed of 100% pure fail.

farkin, been working on putting some music on a dvd for about 2 hours, havent even got the first discography on the f**king playlist yet. stupid vista. like i said. fail.

i thought we were destined to bad lock due to AWD

could always go aftermarket ikeya formula items. Get more steering lock.

maybe your hardware only just met the minimum requirements there fore vista would run like crap, Cubes says vista isnt too bad

its jam packed full of errors and fail. never using it again.

EDIT

oh i keep sending people on my msn list some sort of spam email

ive checked for virus's trojens only cam up with 6 in avast and got deleted and about 22 in search and destroy and got rid of them and adaware found nothing :cheers: im stumped oh and all these spam mail's aren't in my sent box

Last night I was sitting at home contemplating a quiet night on SAU. An hour later im in a stretch hummer with MC Mayhem, DJ Spin Doctor and DJ Demise, on our way to Live (old night train) for some RNB party.

Myself and Chad had a couple of quiet beers, while our friend Miss R33 had, well, quite a few too many :cheers: Was very funny to watch

Interesting.. The bikes aren't all that much quicker than the a mildly tuned skyline with decent tyres.

Riiiiiiiight! :)

Hmm, thats what we hear the wishful drifters say all the time after our daytime track sessions.

A CBR1000R with slicks ridden by a decent A/B class racer = 1m07s

C/D class racer semi-slicks = 1m14s

V8 Supercar driver = 1m08s

Production car racers = 1m24s

And the average joe in his skyline is also running around those 1m24s times. 10 seconds is alot when it comes to the track. :D

think Joel means your average shmo with a straight street bike against a skylines with sticky street tyres and maybe boost wound up nothing hard from each camp

And are we putting this average street rider with a stock bike against an average driver with an average car?

Or is it only the Skyline driver with the sticky tyres and boost allowed to have the advantage?

:D

Only recently they pit a worked Monaro against a stock Triumph 675 at Phillip Island, and the Triumph won! And we don't consider the Triumph anywhere near a match for something like a CBR or R1 or ZX10 or GSXR.

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
