I was having an awesome daybefore the brake pads dissapeared and became metal on metal!!!! Going through turn 1 at 160km/h and coming out 170+ into turn 2 to find out you have no brakes is definately a mastercard moment!!!!!!!!

Dissapointed I wasnt able to do the C3 though!!!

Duncan, Dan and I did the OLT. I think I will pass - Aaron is going to contact us during the week next week to let us know.

Brad - I had a concerened phone call tonight and told them what i saw re: your brakes. Suffice to say that I'm sure it will be OK. The bummer is missing out on the rest of the day - But there will be plenty more track days.

I definitley want bigger brakes now - And cheater tyres - mine were OK , but with my car, I could definitely use them - Ask Dan about my massive turn 2 lose then correction - I even impressed myself - ha ha Dan was pissing himself laughing in the passenger seat.

Nice hi speed, 4th gear drift out the back there and onto main straight. I was complimented by some dude in an Audi S3 when I overtook him down the straight.. ha ha

Came back into the pits after my only hi boost run - I blew the pipe of my boost guage - Thank Pete for the quick fix :/ Had a look at my Microtech dash unit for peak boost - hmmmm 25PSI @ 6750 RPM - that would have been in 4th gear down the main straight - Nice !

Had a fun day as well, got out there a few times and poked the R31 a bit. Was just getting into it after lunch when i started leaking oil around the turbo though, so I parked it and took lots of photos, and car-whored with most of the SAU guys. The 31 will be back in good form shortly, even if the "only" solution is an RB25 turbo :/ (altho if it's an easy fix, will thrash the poor lil RB20 turbo some more)

Thanks Dan/Brad/Pete/Brendan for letting me in the screamer seat. Although the only time I really got terrified was when Pete started carving it up in the 31. It wasn't so much the drift, it was the wild look and uncontrollable giggling that made me realise I was riding with a true madman.... :)

Bring on FD2 is all I can say. My car wasn't built for going in a straight line! :(

    • 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)
