New radiator in. I accidently ordered the 42mm radiator instead of a 52mm. However its seemed to have worked out so far and ive even been able to keep the fan shroud in there nicely

there is room for more shelves Scottie........dooooooo eeeeettt

Radiator is sweet. Keep cooling fan shroud as it helps keep things........well cool

Its a spare one i have lying around.. Ive got one on the car. May install a dual system if needed down the line
ok good.

Additional oil coolers will certainly help ie diff / transmission cooler etc...

Went for a few short drives today to test out the new radiator and make sure it was working fine. First lap ended up in ditching the car in favour of walking to get more coolant. But after i topped it up it has been fine since.

Also these arrived today

Fark those tyres must have cost a penny or two... I considered buying a pair of 16" wheels once, just to get away with paying for a smaller tyre. So many golds.

$355 each! Was only going to save about $10-$15 each if i went to a smaller rim. As i already had a pair of 17's at home I thought this is the cheapest option for now and would be a good indicator of where the traction is at and if I need to go smaller

Even with the 255/60/15 version of those I'm still baking 3rd lol

Wow! Thats interesting as thats a pretty big side wall. Hopefully these work out a lot better for me. I might give them a few KM of street driving and testing before Powerplay on May 10th.

The thing i like about the 17's is they arent so in your face as a 255/60/15 if you know what I mean? I like to keep a good street look about it and not have 15" steelies on the rear with big ass tread. But for track work I guess it could be alright.

Tune day confirmed tomorrow at 10am! Was going to drive the car down to the Gold Coast for it, however with it being Easter holidays and increased police presence I thinking trailer might be the better option. Cant afford the double fine and double points lol

    • 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)
