it hurt? We got a new cadet today. flamin mongrel is doing civil engineering at griffith and has a 6.6gpa. Super cadet..

any time i got higher than a pass i got upset with myself that i worked too hard, not that i ever did any work anyway

too hard to get parts for it mang

Parts? What parts?

Suspension? I'll bet a quid S13 gear fits up front. Rear end will be similar to HR31, parts are available.

Brakes? Nissans always have options

Engine? ESSS ARRRRRRRR

Interior? Gone... who needs parts?

Exterior? looks like its got everything it needs

I really just want a shell...

What about overnight from Japan ?

:)

glass, panels & lights for starters. I'm sure there's other bits too.

You know I love the 200Bs... but I don't want to see you stuck with something you can't fix for 8 weeks because you can't track down a specific ball joint or something

can't be any harder to get parts for than that f*cking alfa :)

I dunno man... euros always seem to be easy to get parts for... that's why all those old alfas, volvos and beemers are still running in the poor countries. endless parts supply.

Whats wrong with using the 31 as a track car?

Bonuses: you already have it

Negatives??

My understanding is he wants something he can kill so he doesn't have to worry about killing his 31

ahh i see

Martin you already know 31s, so you wont need to adjust to how the car feels much, and you already know what does and doesnt work alignment wise ect, just buy a shitty one of those body wise and whack a good engine in it

and he doesn't want a second 31 for some reason :)

I personally wouldn't mind a garage full of sexy 31 coupes

Hard man to please! I guess i am old and jaded, now the words 'project car' are almost enough to make me vomit, I would much rather go with a known quantity if i was going to make a track car, the sooner,cheaper and easier i can get it out there on the track the better!

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
