Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical. I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again. Saturday night at Bathu

So it turns out that is indeed what happened, and as Mel is not taking up racing and nor is their only child Lizzy the Great Dane, I am tidying the car up for sale.   As far as I can tell it is p

Update time, I've actually finished installing the Radicals rear spoiler on to the Skyline, what a fun job on your own getting it exactly in the middle and correct front to back. At full adjusted heig

what are the mounts on the cage at the base near rear of drivers seat, they look like harness mounts but are too low surely??? what are they used for?

Indeed they are harness mounts, for the lap points. Good location really, between them and the shoulder straps mounted to the cage between the rear strut towers you are held firmly back and down into the seat. 2 more points under the seat for the 5th and 6th belts

I'm ashamed I've only just stumbled across this thread Neil! Moving the cool car (read proper race cars with cages) threads from the Motorsport section was a mistake. I said that at the time.

Don't be ashamed mate,,,one of the biggest reasons I stopped posting was because of being made to post in this section.

I asked in the mod section why we couldn't have our race cars in the motorsport section,,,but R31Nismoid,,,Col-GTSX and N1GTR thought not,,,so that was that. Three experts no doubt.

So basically I have very little interest in posting in here.

Cheers

Neil.

ACtually Schedule I of the CAMS manual (http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/10_gen_req/GQ10_Schedule_I_Q411.pdf) covers off their requirements (and recommendations), but fundamentally the shoulder straps should be horizontal to the shoulders, and as short as possible

The standard seat belt mounts are not OK according to CAMS because it is more than 40o downwards from the shoulders.

Zeb, this is the 5th car we've built over 10 years, and the biggest thing I've learned is racing is incredibly hard on cars. Anything that is not 100% OK will catch you out sooner or later - so do it right the first time. Neat is OK, but it more important to be simple and quality/reliable.

This car does look better in real life then in pics...

I mentioned to Neil I should get Duncan to wire up the rest of my car like neils is... Neil laughed at that idea... I'm assuming there was a lot of swearing while the car was wired up... Lol

lol I'm more surprised at how much does work than the few things that don't!

hope those screens do go in this week, I don't need bugs in my teeth.

It could do with a wheel align too Brad ;) Put a lightweight in the driver's seat for the cornerweighting.

      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.
