Also want to be taken for a spin :D

On another note, after going from shagged 275 NT05s to 245 Dunlops I've gone from traction in 2nd on good roads to 'lols' but I don't feel like I'm going to spin out to a tree in the wet which is nice.

Inb4 flogged out Falcon up for sale at ridiculous price.

:P

lulz.

she needs some work yet...... i need lower rear springs, front and rear sway bars, scotty to make me all manner of bracings, and some freaking tyres.

maybe lsd...

Acid will not help you drive a car

If you wanted a 4wd micra, probably a better bet to start off with something like the Familia GT-R and then mod that... they're little rockets when set up right. 154kW for something that weighs about 1000kg, not too shabby as a starting point.

but they break and break hard. gearboxes and diffs are weak as. few parts drifting around from old projects but people usually stick to them for rally and keep them tame.

generally not too common because ugly + heavy. and those that are still around have been flogged by GTR wannabes. still fetch a decent price since purists will start to restore them. they had heaps of nismo optionals etc. (for a small JDM car anyway)

Up late on a Friday night with nothing to do? Ever been scammed by a guy named Jayson from the Blackburn/Burwood area? Haven't heard all about the massive scammer who has been operating here for years?

Why don't you read this thread from page two onwards, where you can -

- See forum member Jayson F, or gtr2nv, known by a variety of other usernames including jet31 (banned on this very forum) not defend himself ONCE against numerous posts linking him to all his other scamming usernames for a period of 7 years!

- Hear from other users who he has stolen from, and then sold the stolen goods on the very same forum!

- Read about how the post office seems to lose some items for which he can't produce receipts!
- Learn about how when some items arrive, they're thrashed or internally cracked!

On the subject of converting to AWD

Should I buy a gtr with my write off money or is the ol gtt/gtst considered on par around the track nowadays when set up well?

Buy back wreck, buy one of the myriad of sub 1k rolling shells or sub 5k gtst's and swap everything in. Spend the rest of insurance cash on more fruit.

Really actually buy Grants 33, huge KSports, Teins, RA3-DT's, tidy interior. Bodywork is not so tidy so it'll be less upsetting when you bend it again :P

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
