Anyone remember this?

Well, it's been 6months, and I finally have my license back.

33 is long gone, but I'll be thrilled just to get out in my parent's Terios.

Gonna test drive a few cars I've had my eye on this week too.

What cars do you have in mind? :)

Well, since my P's were reset and I'm forced to drive an NA for 3 more years (thankfully no red plates) I'm prob going to get an NA Supra, or NA R34 Coupe.

Gonna drive like a grandma too, not that you have much choice in an NA.

nice work :) supras are that little bit more expensive but nice cars

hey n/a's arn't that bad! i suprised a few people this weekend at deca with mine, too bad i was still the only n/a there hehe :D need to get some more n/a's at the events next time cmon beau and kieran :)

i want a r32 N/A . . .. but are hard to find for a decent price

Woo! Got it back.

Took the Terios out for a spin, but that car really such a let down. I have no intention to do any sort of spirited driving, but the Terios has the most sensitive clutch, has absolutely no guts and feels like it'll tip over if you take a corner at more than 20kph.

Still, it's good to be out and about again.

would someone really bother upping the engine in a 32 if you were not going to put a turbo in? I know it would be an improvement but if you were spending that much to upgrade your cars output I would imagine a turbo would be done too??

Late model 32 GTS's came with a 25 in it from the factory. And you'd be surprised the difference, given the weight of a 32, and the extra 80nm of Torque from the 25 over the 20.

I'd be tempted to spend the extra coin and go for a manual NA supra, the 3L in it is still deceptively quick.

    • 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.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
