Welcome!

Your 31 is one of the cleanest around (I imported it), well done with your buy. The drag season is just about over up here but will start again around March next year. There is still some curcuit racing at Hidden V though. Check out the NAMSC website for further info.

Cheers,

Ken

Dont know why you wouldnt want to bring your car up here. Unlimited speed. Some fantastic drives. Heaps of backpackers. Skylines a million. Very active cruise scene. Drift days, circuit racing, open and street meet drags.

And we got them new fangled air conditioner things just last year. Dont know where to plug it in though, we got no elektrickity.

Well coming from Brisbane I am sure you can understand ie: Mt Nebo , Mt Glorious , Mt tamborine in your back yard, the Gold coast beaches , Sunshine coast beaches , Don't have to have the AC blasting as it's not 38o day and night, cheaper fuel and workshops the specialise in jap turbo imports.

I was not saying Darwin is crap , it's just painful to leave Brisvagas!

Its rare that it gets up to 38deg. Can be warm at night though. If you need any parts or front cuts I have plenty in stock. Fuel is fcuking expensive though. Cost me $99 to fill the tank with Ultimate. Going to be worse when my new car arrives.

    • 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)
