Hey Russ if you get stuck i have a r32 subframe sitting at home if you get desperate, needs bushings though, a couple of them are cracked/leaking. Otherwise its had an easy life. Most of the rear suspension is still bolted to it though, but can be quickly ripped off with impact wrench. Also various gtr/gtst diff housing and centre/gears.

Well shakedown 2 didn't go too well. Only got 2 sessions in at PI on saturday

You and me both....although for diff reasons. I went to Sandown and was gentle on the motor for the first two sessions checking knock and temps etc...then the rain hit and out went my chance of a PB :(

No matter as I enjoyed the entry to the front straight ;) and I will live to fight another day!

Good luck with the prep/fixes.

I'm in open class.

Haven't tested a GTR cooler yet coz of the need to modify piping. Lots of time has gone into piping so don't wanna have to redo it if there is a better option. Thanks for the offer though.

well i have just upgraded to a 4" thick core for my car so i have the old "hybrid GT spec" branded 600x300x76 (3" in and out) bar and plate core spare.

though if you are looking for a tube and fin design thats not much help.

Ok. What power has it 'flowed'? what's the length end to end? How much?

Put a STD GTR cooler in it Russ! Best flow kw wise and they actually allow air threw to ur rad which is a big problem with all these crappy aftermarket tube and fin/bar and plate coolers!

Just did similar upgardes to my thing, High mount and GTR cooler now making an easy 320kw and running 30 degrees cooler at Sandown!

Seems like you did okay at winton today Russ, you feeling better prepared for Super Lap now?

Yeah mate. Very happy to get a 1:33.7 at winton. Consistent 1:34's with a turn in understeer problem is great. understeered wide at turn 6 (last right kink before the cleavage) and hit a saw tooth ripple strip. Need another alignment now. It wouldn't turn right properly after that :(

    • 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.
