All it takes is a bit of practice, and I've had too much practice :laughing-smiley-014:

I think I did it about roll 2, so it should be fine. Was the last time I did it, and that one ended up on the roof as well.

Our first outting with the Dry sump was today. Oran park south circuit

Absolute success. Few minor dramas like the just jap silicon piping spliting and restricting it to 8psi, and rear brake issues but other wise it managed a 50.2 with stuff all power (sub 250Kw id assume)

Time to pull it all apart and switch shells now!

i was at OP on Sat arvo/night, went and watched Niel in the Radicall, looked like heaps of fun. Also met Duncan so good to be able to put faces to names. Was surprised at the mix of cars that were there. Street cars to race cars. NO SKYLINES. was a RB powered silvia that was quick. Did you go on Sunday?

yeah good to meet you too Stuart. now get your car finished and out there so there is at least 1 skyline around :P

we got the rear cradle back from John on the weekend, we now have a very adjustable rear end. still need to fit the hicas replacement arms to it then it is ready to go in with all the colourful chinese bits bolted on. Glad we bought most of the bits before the $AUD crashed.

but it was too bloody hot to do much on sunday.

Brad you better get a wriggle on, Neil dragged his radical around there in 48.18 on saturday

Duncan,

I think I'll clean up the original crush tubes and weld them to the top and bottom plates that I was going to make up to replace the cradle bushes. This will eliminate the need to add a bush to the bottom when bolting it in and make sure that the holes are exactly the right size.

Only problem is that I'm going to have to root around in the bin to find them. Sometimes I get the good ideas way too late.

I too was surprised at the mix of cars but yes it was a very hot day. Their was a nice clean red r32 gtr there in the arvo when I was out watching Neil but I did't get any laptimes from it.

well the good news is I never got around to putting them in the bin, they were sitting next to it cooling down after their roasting.....

You didn't, but I did. Thank god the kids aren't in nappies any more.

Oh I know that silvia all too well.

I have to see it pretty every day at work.

Ha ha your a funny guy mark,,,I'll bet you don't chew your fingernails anymore either.

Young Brad,,,Duncan's correct,,,but a wriggle on won't cut it. I consider my 48.18 as slow,,,i'm really chasing a 46.

Neil.

    • 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    
    • 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  
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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)
