Stack lap timer for $150!!... tell me where Dane!!

Haha sorry Stuart, but it was pure luck mate! I looked on ebay in the US and got one for $120US or something ridiculous. Was a pain to get here, had to ship it on a container and it took 3 months but it was worth it :D

hey this is just my theory....but a car you buy is not like a car you build.

I would happily get rid of something I bought, but once you've put the blood and sweat (lots of blood lol) into it, it would be like selling one of your children. We always run them until we kill them . And there must be other people like me because there are far more race cars in garages than their are regularly on racetracks

I agree with you. It was easy for me to put my old RX7 up for sale (it got stolen before it was sold), but letting go of the 180 after 5 years would be a lot more difficult. When you build it you appreciate exactly how much work has gone into it.

I've heard it's coming together well..... but it was entered in TT this year but a no-show? whats the scoop Stu?

Wasn't 100% finished.

Going to be wild when its done and hopefully Matt gets to push it to its limits :D

yeah duncan is right. i've had a fair few GTRs now. bought and sold a couple, but the first GTR I ever owned I still have. that car needed a bit of love when I got it, and i've done lots to it over the years so it would be very hard to part with.

yeah matt entered it with confidence of it being finished, but some issues with suppliers caused delays early on and and a few weeks out from TT the pin was pulled as it just wasn't going to be finished in time.

hes bang up for next year though and the plan is to get some testing in prior... will be a hellva thing

keep talkin Ben.... i am enjoying it!

looks like you had a beautiful r32!! i just love em... i love the way they drive and feel and i also love the hard edge they have when modded & the driver has to do all the work very rewarding driving one as you guys know.

believe me i am not in a hurry to sell it and will be pushing to get rid of the r33 , and cover up the r32 for a while.

cheers russ

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
