Yeah I wont be making this any more..

Car has been at a workshop for the past week having the finishing touches done before run in and power tune on my new engine.. put coolant in the new radiator today, pressurised the system, didnt hold pressure, check for leaks, nothing apparent. Long story short, during the final check before putting it on the dyno for run in, checked the sump and its full of water..... game over, out it will come. So f**king over it.

Its worse considering the parts list behind it and how much has gone wrong along the way. Dropped so much money on this thing and have seen no benefit to date, its really depressing. Think along the lines of sleeved SR with 90mm CP pistons (2189cc..), tomei cams, rb25 box, gtx3071r, 740s, z32 etc etc.

There is a meet point at Caltax Bolivar for anyone interested at 7:30am - leaving 7:40am SHARP (unless I am late :P )

I will have $1.50 cans of drink for sale out there (Coke, Zero, Fanta, Creaming soda, Lemonade, Lemon Squash, Passiona) , as well as some $1.50 muffins, lamingtons and donuts for those with hunger pangs. More substantial meals are available at the Mallala pub and the IGA/deli in Mallala.

See you all tomorrow for a big one!

all ready :D

Well I am all good to go. Just have to fill the car up and 3 Jerry cans tomorrow morning.

I will be at the meet spot :D

Just haven't changed the brake pads as I am not confident in doing them myself. I have seen it done a fair few times just don't have the confidence to do it atm. Hopefully the current pads will last the punishment. There is about half life left in the pads up front and same for the rear. I have a brand new set of QFM A1RM's with me that I will be bring out to the track and hopefully someone can lend me a hand in changing the pads if need be :D Also hoping that 3 jerry cans will be enough.

Looking forward to this track day :D

Guys, just a quick note to clear any confusion regarding deposits.

The club pays for the track day regardless of who goes or who doesn't.

It's very easy to say that people dropping out last minute won't lose their deposits because it can be automatically applied to a future track day, but imagine if half the entrants did that??

Who then pays for this particular track day?

I hate to be a pain here but we need to be realistic.........if your are dropping out for whatever reason, please try and get someone to fill your spot.

    • 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
