here's what your been waiting for some pic's...............

relocated the horns to the otherside to make room for my powersteering cooler.

and managed to fit a new tranny cooler with fan infront of the passengers side wheel.

it was a C*** of a job but took it for a test drive and no leaks, so now just gotta button up some bits and pieces and wire up the fan :)

had fun at sydney motorsport park on saturday............ go pro footage still to come. managed a best time of 1:14.77 with overheating brakes and motor temp spike!!! got to hot so i called it a day and wet and jumped in a cold swimming pool instead.

Is that video on slow mo? Either that or you're being very cautious?

It's wet nummers....his in a 2t wagon with sort of shit tyres on a track that has not been rained on in weeks. There's a reason your kind always crash isn't there!

see me entering into turn 1 for the very first time (between the small straight and into the long straight over the hill)........ wet track pretty much no throttle just enough to keep the speed at 80km/h and see how much the car got sideways, it was slippery. even in the dry i could only take that corner at about 100km/h and the car still got squiggly.

like Criag said of course im going to be cautious first time on the track, first time on the course in my only car be it i dont use it dayly but still.

wait till i get the other vids up, this wasnt timed, but the next session that was and i got a 1:20 lap and then once it was fully dry i got a 1:15 and later in the day before it got to hot i got a 1:14 so i'm quite happy with it, it's no track car by anymeans but it was a load of FUN.

if i wanted a circuit car i'd go buy a S8 RX7 and build that up.........................

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
