lol that pics is close but not the same. I'll keep it for another day :D

Mark and I were doing something silly and adding up the other day. The head prep, porting, springs, shims, valves and cams cost more than the rolling shell. or the cage. or the bottom end. or the intake and turbos. or all the suspension bits put together. In fact it is the most expensive bit of the car so far.

Shane that head looks good and even looking at it you can see why it would make a difference with the smooth curves. For now we will stick with what we have but we might clean up the squish zones once our wallets have recovered.

yeh im sure it'll do what its suppose to, cant wait to get it on the rollers to see what it does. its a 6k head with all the valvetrain gear. we were lucky as we ordered all the parts before the ass fell out of the dollar :P

that ones got

supertech dual springs & TI retainers

supertech guides

supertech 1mm inlet and 1mm exhaust valves

tomei 270 10.8 inlet and 280 10.8 exhaust cams

tomei cam cap studs

will @ jhh had to machine up some custom inner spring seats as supertech dont make them for the rb26. apparantly with the ferrea kit you can get a ferrea seat to suit, just a headsup if ur using supertech springs

lol no racing is cheap. and as the old say goes, "how quick do you want to go? = how much do you want to spend?"

Post it or ban!!! :)

Oh, and I suppose I should have asked BEFORE I shredded it into a million little fluffy bits, but it's okay to remove the front firewall sound/heat deadening right? :(:)

well at least it reads in klm/h Ben:p

Andrew....for sure. anything that deadens sound must be removed so it sounds more like a race car.

(I don't think it will go any faster but it will sound better)

John @ UAS has been doing some very interesting stuff with front upper control arms (not as full on as Brad but still pretty interesting). Not sure what we will do about this yet. The rear subframe should be back from it's adjustments soon

I haven't seen Pelicans new upper arms yet but I have heard the're interesting.

I have the front of my white car sorted out now. Now the old 380 18inch slicks are a "loose" fit.

Ill be doing something similar with the rear Duncan. Problem I have is I can fit bigger rims on the front than the rear atm.

We also spent a day on the dyno yesterday with the Grey GTR, (Massive thanks to Guilt toy for lining up the borrowing of an AWD dyno)

The dry sump worked perfectly, engine is very strong and laughed at 1.3 bar.

Its first outting will be oran park next week, just need to finish off the radiator and header tank system. Drain the oil tank a little bit and put the slicks back on.

haha i was hoping you would chop across the chasis rails too. not sure what use they are sticking back there behind the subframe and suspension mounts :ermm:

Mark...don't forget the plenum tommoz.

Ben, I think there is more to come on that poor old car.

I think the rear rails will stay. I have cut right up to them and finished off the edges alot neater now. They will be needed to mount fuel cell, diff, box and transfer coolers etc from as well.

Oh hell yes this little old car is going to get alot more cut up yet. The front end will be cut out and finished shortly. Ill wait till Ive finished the cage before going much further though incase things move around. Saying that though I believe Ive run you through the stuff Ive been working on for the front end Duncan??

Ben the firewall has all be repaired now. It took 3/4 of a day to beat back into decent shape and a little work TIG welding a few new sections in where there was holes.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
