oh snap haha, thanks for the information mate, Ive been reading about Karratha trying to find out more about the place, but that's probably the best description ive heard yet. Kinda killed my dreams of tearing up 200m of sticky tar, but im sure there must be a plase to go to burn rubber? Pm me, we should organise something some time :):O

And would there be a drag strip, or race track arround there?

i only work up here as im FIFO from Perth and im only here in Port Hedland for another month or two, afte that who knows where i end up, as far as a race track i highly doubt it, there would have to be an illegal drag strip the locals use as there is plennty of straight roads out here to go play on late at night :rofl2:

once you get there my Skyline should be ready to sell, ill pay you a spotters fee for selling my car!!

Im up there 4 weeks at a time Work at Cape Lambert. Yet to decide on what car to bring up, or i may buy one locally.

Not that i have been up there yet but if i was to choose between your 2 cars, i would choose the Passage. GTS too good to take i reckon.

I've been up here two years (fifo) and wouldn't advise about bringing a skyline up here... you'll have to run bp-98 for a start.

Not to mention the red dirt/constant heat will kill the paint. There are also no decent roads up here so expect paint chips/dents/etc.

Simple response is buy a 4wd for up here, leave the skyline at home.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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)
