my car was faultless and performed brilliantly all weekend only issue i had was a bend tie rod and castor rod bracket being out of wack after a hard hit when tom monkhouse spun in front of me. steering wasnt the same afterwards but being the drifter i am i made do with what i had. was running some crazy toe out at the end... something like 30mm out. flicks in HARD hahaha.

Your car looked good out Simon, the rear screen sunvisor thing is cool!

Fixed the video links, for some reason youtube provides the wrong links for original hot-linking.

Your code:

What it needs to be:

It's the extra "&hd=1" thats telling the video to go to HD 720p, it doesn't like to be hotlinked for some reason, might be cause HD video wont work in a forum size box as well. Will look into it anyway.

You were out @ opposite sessions to us which was a bit of a PITA. Next time hopefully it'll workout a bit different with sessions.

Plus us Track Battle guys all know each other, so we all went to a pub (about 10mins away) for lunch both days as we had 2.5hrs between mornin/arvo sessions so i think we spent a good 1.5hrs chillin there enjoying Lemonades... :cheers:

I reckon it was a great event, you drift guys really did some epic carnage to your cars and each other. At one point we were trying to pick which cars weren't gonna come back with damage, was great viewing indeed! Was really well run from the Track guys perspective.

How bout you guys? Looked like it was running well?

cheers. i wish it was a tad louder... if my car sounded like that Red 33 high tech oils one i'd be quite happy haha.

was a great event.. as you said mega carnage. was my good mate in the blue 32 who wrote it off earlier on in the sat so was a real damper on the moods to start with. very un forgiving layout but we all had fun. as you can see drifters are a uncaring bunch.. most were going for broke lol.

the time attack stuff was a great idea to put with it... it gives the crowds something else to watch. and the sounds from the cars going full noise all the way round the dome while standing in the middle of it is brillant! i had no idea what sort of times people were doing as the PA down our end of the pits was lacking big time!

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
