So thats the secret plan, huh Chris?

All this time throwing us off track with new turbo this, new diff that, and really your going all out on mass HP increases with stickers!

Cunning mate, very cunning.

i might now be in this. a mate is 90% chance of not being ready and offered me his entry. it's just a matter of getting the silvia or 32 track worthy and strapping on my cojones and getting amongst it. maybe I should do what all the "smart" guys are doing and get a pro to do the driving for me so I can devote all my time to running my mouth. so dundan? wanna be my pro driver?

I'm pretty keen, but one of my hates is rushing around last minute to get ready for a track day, so I'm not sure I'm up to putting myself through that this week!

basically the choice is between:

1100kg with this: post-3621-1214978901_thumb.jpg

or 1500kg with this: post-3621-1214978978_thumb.jpg

for the silvia I just need to:

rebuild 2 calipers

fluid flush

fix up the seat a little

fit the new greddy intercooler

take it easy as no oil cooler

for the R32 I need to:

get fluids changed (the whole lot)

get wheel alignment

chuck some pads in it

maybe whack on some different tyres

fit my seat in (easy)

fit my harness (easy)

tough call.

lol. GTR would be good. I'm really torn. I just thought about it more. the GTR has bone stock suspension. the silvia has coil-overs, 2 way, adjustable castor rods, rear upper arms and traction rods, pinapples, GTST lower arms, adjustbale strut tops and good brakes for it's weight.... the plot thickens.

either way it seems I'll get punished by the weevil! why bother turning up!! :laugh:

The Zed lost brakes on the weekend and I just got it sorted with a new MC,

looking forward to this big time, see if I can beat at least one home. :laugh:

But as Richard quite rightly noted, Chris will be hard to beat.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
