I'm thinking after 7 years in the GT-R a new challenge could be welcome.

Not sure yet as I haven't had time to think about it propperly but I am thinking a 2WD challenge could be just what I need. And really if you think about it last year Early Mod was won by a 2WD car and this years should have been won by one so it's not like they can't be quick enough by any stretch. But the reality is I'm more worried about killing myself in one than I am about being competative as last year in my 2 little RWD motorsport drives (Caterham and Exige S) I did serverely suck! LOL

But that is why I am quite keen on this challenge.

Time will tell.

Craig Dean used to run a Supra, and back a few years he did quite well in it too.

When I was navving for Appo in the blue 34 Craig was behind us in the Supra prior to a stage and he walked up to the side window and told Appo to "keep an eye out for me, I'll catch you by the 10 kay point".

Appo said sure thing, even offered to let him go first but he declined.

We beat him by over a minute from memory, and the Supra was never seen again :happy:

Snowy, just get a 32 like us Bens mate :blush: They're fun and cheap, perfect things :banana:

Anyone bought a rotary yet?

:P

when is the r32 gtst going to be allowed back into classic?????

if all us r32 guys pich in im sure we can mach what Brawbent payed to get them taken out. thats without taking to the 944 guys.

well classic was edge of your seat stuff this year....oh wait no it wasn't

:P hahaha

dunno why you'd want to discourage competition when you've already won the event before... surely its more fun when its tight at the top?!

isn't it about fun or am I wrong again...

I farking hate that i think this, but the only extra weight the R33 really carries over the R32 is from gearbox ad brakes. (from what i have read and understand) And you get easier power, stronge rgearbox and better front suspension.

IF the R32 GTSt now has to run in early modern then perhaps the R33 GTS25t makes more sense. God knows that they are actually cheaper then R32 GTSts these days....its funny that R31 GTS-Xs command the same money as R32 and more then R33s.

But, i dont care for the rules, if i build up a car it will be a lil R32 so i can make my current car a nicer roadie with some of the std bits. But, what was looking great a few weeks ago now looks shit.... I need to find a boss who doesnt do horrible things to me in uncomfortable places, so sick of being farked around by the man. I cant see me doing anything with my current car let alone a new car for a little while longer yet :P

Funnily enough I stood and waited ten minutes to speak with Rex as I didn't want to interupt his conversation. The guy looked right through me, wouldn't have had a clue who I was. lol

Should I let the cat out of the bag and tell you all I'm looking closely at a full race/rally 1978 Porsche Turbo in Europe at the moment? :) Don't tell anyone :P

I'll be in europe in a month so I'll unselfishly offer to test drive said Porsche for you... yes I know I'm a nice guy :P

R33 is a superior car, and the extra wieght is only from good things (more rigid chassis, and gearbox). Even if they are cheaper to buy, i think the running costs will be higher, engine is more, gearbox is more, and less R33 wrecks about to rape and pillege...and even less R33 GT-R's to strip for lightweight parts.

The tourqe would be nice, but there are cheap and legal ways to get tourqe out of a 20 :P

You forgot better rear suspension...oh and torque :P

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
