Lest We Forget.

:thumbsup:

After seeing how many people I know made it to dawn services today; I feel a bit hopeless.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning; we will remember them.

So after ordering a white Aero bar with foggies back in July 2011, and paid for it...I get an email from Streeter who said its now ready for pickup...

Not his fault though...apparently it was sitting around in Melbourne for months...

hmmm time to have a M35 bits sale...

All the subie owners are jelly of M35's. Every time a Forrester, or a liberty wagon gets behind me, I see them lean over the wheel and squint to see whats written on the back of the car.

yeh lol you shoudlve seen them when scott put his car on the dyno.

funny thing is, they were all pulling themselves when they saw their cars hitting 170kw at all four.

then scott put his car on i think they all had wet spots in their pants or minor heart attacks.

the libertys are a nice car - but the amount of money that has to be thrown at it for minor power is f**king stupid

LOL @ the Subie owners...but you can't compare stock cars vs Scott's monster...

I was thinking of a Rex, not a Liberty or forester. If I needed a wagon I'd stick with the Stagea for sure.

I think maybe I'm just pining for something thats fast(er) off the line. Im sure the Stags will rape the WRX at the top end and all...and it is more practical...

I dunno, I spent the weekend in a mate's WRX...with only 200 awkw that thing felt alot faster then my 270awkw+ Stag...plus I like the go kart feel...hmm and the manual (albeit weak GB) thing...

Edited by ironpaw

If anything mine is the stock car Jethro, some of them had put a fair bit of coin in for those figures (30k+ with Cosworth engines) but you're right, they are lighter and have a manual option.

Just because a car feels faster doesn't mean it is though, my mates old WRX only has 130kw and feels ballistic, even with a slipping clutch. No way its actually faster though.

lol im pretty sure the genuine bugeye STI WRX that did a run has a semi forged bottom end and all this extra crap and still only pulled 130 at the wheels.

hands down out of a WRC class I would be going an evo.

bang for buck! if you like the go kart feel.

lol mine feels like a trolley than a go kart. Scott knows what I mean :P

I'm pretty sure if they spent 30k+ on their car it'd be a "10 second car"? I mean, there are cars on Rexnet who doing 280-300awkw on 98/street trim and are getting 10/11 sec qtr mile...

Anyway this is not to say they're "better" or "worse"...every car has different characteristics and pro's/con's...

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
