Dude, As if I dont know where these cars came from , or thier history's. I know Nathan well enough to know. Its not the point. I dont care who built them. Ovaboost put in a effort to have several cars there as a organised display, and went out and raced hard. Asides from alot of "secret sports" stickers on various cars, I didnt see a real Xspeed precense. Was Hanson there? Ken didnt have a display, yet came and spent the day talking and socialising. Jash put in 4 cars, SST in the form of Steve and Ant where there all day talking and racing - hell Ant broke his box, went home , fitted another, then returned. Thats committment to the scene. And in the end of the day - no scene, no business for anyone, right?

Tomj,

OK, I can see what you are trying say, happy with that. I just like to see the loyalty to whatever workshop you belong too shown and keep. Having one workshop claim work for another workshop is wrong. My 2 cents worth. To all those workshops that did show up BZ and WELL Done. Their suppor for this type of event is always appreciated. Again thanks to Paul for all the work to get SUAWA there. I had a ball. Now I want more :headspin:

I would of loved to be there flying the antilag.com flag and SST(if steve would of allowed it). I find the excuse of road tyres to be somewhat moot as far as I recall GOTBOOST was running on Nitto's and still did amazing times with a fantastic hook up..

Quote of the year

All it takes is a bit of patience, persistance and maybe some concentration on other parts of the car then power though I guess the easy way is to cry wolf and go straight to slicks

It took me 3 months of constant racing and playing with the set up of the car to even break into the 1.9's 60ft's other then that it was only my power making me fast as I was averaging 2.0-2.2 60fts and very low 12's to high 11's ET's as soon a I done a 1.97 60ft I ran 11.7 so my advice is keep at it and try different things and soon it will come together

Brett

and i still might get another meet out them. ITS ALL GOOD  

even been questioned on my timeslip because it has AWD6 class  lol

awesome times GOTBOOST, keep flying the 32GTst flag mate!!

what size Nittos are you running?

Chris

So they/you dont have enough confidence in your own work, that if you take it down the strip or on the dyno it wont succeed? Why even try then? I dont get the reason to create these cars then, cept for a shiney photo and blurb in a magazine. That said though, well done on the times on the weekend, nice tyres.

Immacul8 funny you said that about go the rotor, thats what ill be doing.

Cheers

Sean

C'mon dude I was there putting my car where the dyno sheets say it should be. I was a tad pissed off with the AAH, but shit like that happens.

Jash

Dude,

If you knew anything about the cars that supposed to be Ovaboost then you wouldnt have make the comment above. Ask who did Nathan's car and the R34 GTR. I think it'll open your eyes. They are Xspeed cars. I was also there for Xspeed workshop.

You sure there Xspeed cars?

    • 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.
