Anyone willing to lend me a helmet and extinguisher? :)

You can borrow mine if you wish, don't think I can afford to take the R33 out this time :(...unless I can jump out there later in the day.

If anybody needs swaybars for track day look here, I'm getting mine here from Dale

I just got mine for around the same money locally for CarTorque here in Adelaide. I also didn't have to worry about shipping costs that the group buy would have too .. Try dropping them an email?

Where on earth did you get a helmet for $99??

All you NEED is an Australian Standards helmet. Which is a motorbike helmet, and you can go to any bike shop.

Autosport are doing open face helmets for $99, and that will be fine for most people.

You spend the extra money on an FIA approved helmet and itll be lighter, and probably more comfortable, but if youre only doing a couple of track days a year an AS helmet will be fine.

Another great place for helmets is Peter Stevens on franklkn st. They have a normal store and a clearance store opposite. With Aus standard approved helmets from $60

Got mine from there, big range, great prices

Thanks

sorry to those that have already bought a full face but keep in mind, there's nothing worse than a full face in a hot car and secondly, peripheral vision is considerably better with an open face.

You can get a good Aussie STD matt black open face at either Peter Stevens, Hyperformance Cycles or Pro Street Cycles for between $50 & $60.

Extreme example, but one I always remember... what happens when you wear an open face helmet...

Colin McRae will discover today if he can resume his World Rally Championship quest following his horrific accident on the Tour of Corsica.

The 32-year-old Scot will have a check-up at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Hospital following a three-hour operation to have a plate inserted in his fractured cheekbone.

McRae suffered a double fracture of the cheekbone and a bruised lung after crashing out at about 80mph on the second day of the rally in Corsica last month.

The car finally came to rest upside down at the bottom of a six-metre embankment after hitting a tree. McRae's Welsh co-driver Nicky Grist walked away unhurt.

Bar my first rally, when I had to borrow a helmet, I've always worn full face, and never had an issue with it being too hot.

you're inside a car!!!!..........soft :P

Yet we're not complaining about being too hot... now who's soft? :nyaanyaa:

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
