This is a long shot....

But a couple our clients asked us to ask on their behalf for reserve entries.

1 x R34 GTR

1 x R35 GTR

All I can do is but ask :down:

To the rest of you guys, spend all your effort and monies working on the very best braking package you can for the day. Brakes are 100% critical at Mallala and need serious application to get 'in the zone'. Having 'lots' of experience at Mallala with Nissan brakes we are more than happy to lend some advice to anyone with questions :huh:

Krishy, how long did it take to recieve these lines from uk? And are they defently stainless stell or tin wrapped?
UK!? The Braided Lines Krishy linked, come from Queensland, i ordered a Set on 17-03-2010...sent payment, haven't been posted yet :huh: . My guess is they are making them up, so should be posted sometime next week.

I got mine within 5 days or so from QLD........to me it looks and feels likie stainless steel....and it is most certainly ADR approved as well as it has a lifetime warranty as well....you get a warranty card that you can sell with the car to the new owner as well :down:

is there a gasket? mine doesnt have one, granted its a different engine.

there is a little metal gasket that foes between the IC pipe and the stock bov.......its meant to stop any leaks

D stirls

are u sure 300zx is the same as r32?

the pistons themselves are 50buks each on trade price.

and full seal kit front and back is just under 200.

all the other pistons are fine, just 4 have rust on the hard chrome.

im getting QFM A1RM's all round for the ca brakes, they will be fine with that, ill just have to take it easy for a bit then do a hot lap and then a couple laps at a slower pace etc etc. u reccon 1 set of those will last the day???

and any1 kno anywhere cheap to get wheel studs? cheapest i could get em on trade price was 10buks each :s

adrian the qfm a1rm's from what i have heard will last you a whole track day.....get some decent brake fluid in and do a full flush etc and should be pretty sweet......another thing you might wanna have a look at is getting some braided brake lines mate......

i am for this track day running qfm a1rm's with penrite sin 600 brake fluid and HEL braided brake lines.....lets see how they go on the track....

I'd run some ducting to the front brakes if i was you, heat is your enemy on small brakes. The quicker you can cool them before the next corner the better they will be. If you overheat them to much those pads wont last long at all.

this is my ducting.

I'm 110% sure.

The Pistons and Seals are the same for R32, Z32 and R33 (just the diameter of the rotor and the caliper offset is different with the R33), as well as others.

You can pretty much run your car however you like. No scrutinering at practice/private days. I'd recomend a fire extingusher though.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
