Yeh, ring Race Brakes in WP, tell them about your drama and see if they can get you sorted. The std lines are absolute rubbish in my books as they go to the back of the caliper and not to the std hard lines so when you add lock they ouut tension on the lines :(

And just a question, why isnt there a rule tha states aero cant be a certain percentage over the original dimension or track/wheelbase of a vehicle? I am looking at picks up of an S13 and its way out there!!!! The front wing adds about 50-75% of width to the car...and extends waaaay forward as well. All a bit crazy in my books

I don't have any pics mate, but I've seen some of the cars Roy's referring to.

I'm sure some pics will surface soon enough.

Good news, Mark, Russ and team arrived at EC this morning after driving through the night with both cars in tow and another dual axle trailer full of body kit and fuel :)

The 34 fits on the trailer with about an inch to spare either side now :)

You'll have to swing by and look under the bonnet won't ya! :P lolol

And testing? Yeah, heaps of em. I see some Japanese guys in pit lane with RX7's now, and the Brissy R35's are there too. There's a gaggle of evos standing around looking boring as batshit as well :P

Oh and Timmy, Russ was asking if you were coming up? Hitch a ride with Benson if he's still coming ya champ!

Would love to, but full steam ahead with the EVO to prep it for Rally Aus ATM, damn bodyworks set us back a month!

wow ... Seems like next year the only 'logical' step in regards to aero development is to have wings that are mounted in an unsprung manner, chassis with sliding skirts and rear mounted radiators with large 'cooling' fans ....

Then we'll having dual chassis and active suspension designs all on semi slick tyres :P

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • 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.
