ohh nice dude!!!

sad to see that go, they are rare as hell, and rarer still in RHD!!

they were all RHD...only 16 built....here in Australia.

very sad to see it go...should have gotten rid of the wife instead :down:

only 16? i didnt know they were THAT rare. how many did the judge have? because he passed away in one of them at EC (i was there)

they released something similar in europe, might have had a different name. and it was probably done by alfa

I never wish bad upon anyone.....but this too will happen to you!...and before you realise it....I remember having a Giocattolo and a HSV and lots of spare time and money to go racing....then the now wife appeared and offered me something the those cars could never give me...SEX!....10 years on I drive a family wagon, have to report in every couple of hours, race maybe three times a year and only ever get sex if I can get her drunk....she doesn't drink!....so I have to resort to begging...yes I have no dignity left.

but apparently there is a good side....just ask her!!!

Off to the workshop for the last of my six pack holiday!

Blah blah blah blah blah....need beer!

Sooo, what did you get rid of the Giocattolo? :):P

Just because the Mrs has a "Great Idea"?

Hey man, nothing wrong with upgrading from an HSV to an M35!

I too am married, but we are both aware that there is to be no reporting in (My bro has to all the time - drives all of us CRAZY!).

I mean really! Why? Where you gonna go? Scared you gonna leave?

*HINT* Get a icypole making thingy (you can tell I am great in the kitchen, eh?) and put just a little bit of Vodka in with the juice/fizzy and freeze it.

Summer comes around & keep offering her icy poles... Problem solved!

Better still, make her a nice warm drink on a cold night to warm her up! She will love it!!

ingredients:

Milk

teaspoon of Honey

30ml of Kahlua "french Vanilla" (or the Haleznut flavour if she doesn't like vanilla)

Curl up with her & watch some tv (or play some PS3/Xbox), maybe make a second one. Wait. Enjoy! :D

The warm milk option is great because paints you as the caring husband!

Wyld is pretty poor though.

Try crushing up some Horny Goat Weed. Works a little better.

Oh, by the way, SAU-NSW are having a track day @ Oran Park on Friday June 12th.

This is one of the last opportunities to do Oran Park GP EVER, as it's going to close FOREVER either December this year or early January 2010 to be replaced by a housing estate. :laugh::( :(

I might be using this opportunity to finally take my car on the track, and have the honour of being able to say I raced on the OP-GP circuit years from now when it's just a distant memory.

Please don't make me be the only Stagea ever to hit the tracks here in Sydney - come along and enjoy the day (and the track) with me!

Use the link below to join SAU-NSW so you can have access to the Members' section and secure your spot early - if the day fills out with Members, then non-Members won't be getting the chance to attend (except as spectators)... You don't want that, do you?

What requirements does ones car need to have a gentle cruise around the track.

What requirements does ones car need to have a gentle cruise around the track.

Basically?

For the car:

  • check all engine fluids, and replace if necessary - an oil and filter change is a MINIMUM, and add extra oil for added track stress and temperatures;
  • replace and bleed brake fluid, using higher-quality stuff for the higher temps;
  • check the condition of your brake pads and discs, replace with better items if necessary;
  • check the condition of your tyres - buy a spare set if you think you might need them;
  • remove all excess stuff from your interior - jack, spare wheel/tyre, tools, subwoofers, CDs, etc.

For the driver:

  • long sleeves, long pants, enclosed shoes;
  • an Australian Standards Approved helmet;
  • a CAMS or AASA licence. The CAMS licence will require you to be a member of a CAMS-affilliated club, which is where your SAU-NSW membership comes in; EDIT: CAMS licence NOT required for the June 12 Oran Park day...
  • a good, ready-to-have-fun attitude!

Okay everyone, I went to see Jetwreck's proposed venue and it is THE PERFECT spot!

Sounds like time to set a date and time I reckon. . . .

I propose a Sunday . . . . of course.....LOL

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
