I just searched the brisbane council website and they reckon they'll be doing demo laps and racing

i reckon i'll ask the people on the gate if the skylines are running before i pay, was a little disappointed last time, although still good to see some great cars running around

Yeh sorry about last year.....don't think Terry was planning on doing an exit into the walls. Was my fault on the R31......the cam cracked on a cool down lap which as you can expect pretty much stuffed the top part of the engine.

What I can confirm at the moment is that there is definitely 2 R32's running, The R31 blew a head gasket at Morgan Park and more than likely wont be running and the DR30 is definitely running(might even have some HP for this event....going on the Dyno today).

The rest of the Group A/C field looks pretty good as well.

C'mon, a headgasket isn't hard to replace. Hell, bring the car and the R31 club boys will fix it with duct tape and cable ties in the paddock :)

At least tell me the car will be there on display if its not going to race?

Sorry wont be there at all unless his changed his mind from when I spoke to him on Sunday....the head Gasket was only the start of the damage....also detonation in 5 and 6.......the new owner does have a spare motor but his had a fair bit on his plate in the last month or so so I am pretty sure he wont make it back to Sydney - Motor out - Motor in - Dyno - and back to Brisbane by next weekend to race it....logistic's alone would have him pretty buggered.....I have offered to help him even though I am still working on the DR30's prep but I am pretty sure he wants a break before Muscle Car.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
