lol of course! They must be stoked to have taken a win in the car's first run, but I am sure they are disappointed that Garth's car died mid lap so they will never know how quick it would have been.

Congrats to all the competitors and Hi Octane, it looked likea great crowd and great day.

Awesome day guys, and congrats Mark and Russ.

I'm spewing there's so much crap in the way on this pic but still my fav of the day.

:(

Great pic!

Was a great day, some awsome cars. Wasnt as many spectators as i thought there would have been. And thanks (sorry i dont know you name) to the guy with a sau shirt on for letting me park down towards the pit area.

In the morning? That was me. No probs

Roy: Russman seemed fine all day, looks like he and the other Vic guys had a good time

Was the Vic Supra all noise liek usual or have they finally got that thing working?

Oh, and how did Markov go in his cleaner then clean white R32 GTR

Do you mean "SUPRAT" the red JZA80?

It looked to be kicking ass. Would love to know more about the specs on the turbo side and whats done to the gearbox (sounds straight cut?!)

Early in the day 2 SAUNSW members hand timed it at 1.19 (from memory)

Dont know about Markov's GTR, but its almost too clean for a track car. Wasnt slow though

Yeah I would love to point to the results webpage but its still got last years results :(

Sam M did OK he was somewhere between 5th and 10th overall. The car looks brilliant but maybe a little more time around the track there is needed?

Was the "vic supra' red? It was loud but I don't think it featured overall.

John's Zed came home 5th I think, and 2nd in the shootout.

The Elise that John B was driving came home first or second in open too.

Unfortunately the BSM GTR didn't get fixed in time but I'm sure it will be back next year and very quick once it is sorted in the new spec.

There were some good results too from left field like the IPRA Rx7 that came home 2nd in open.

Not sure where the black GTST came. In fact I noticed a couple of skylines there that I didn't know but didn't get to talk to everyone. I hope they ran OK today....

Sorry if I get the places wrong its all from memory.

There were some good results too from left field like the IPRA Rx7 that came home 2nd in open.

If left field involves a state champ, driver of the year and national runner up. Still a 230hp NA bridgey with a normal diff and gearbox is awesome.

The red s2k?

The Nismo radiator cap decided it didnt like sitting in a VTEC engine bay YO!!!!

No seriously looked like a Nismo radiator cap gave way and spurted coolant everywhere...

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • 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.
