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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
