^^^ sucks Terence!

My car has been in shop 3 weeks. Was supposed to be finished last Tuesday and I went down today and he tells me it will be finished Wednesday. :rolleyes:

I still have to get W/A, sort diff out and another issue of exhaust popping on decel when ambient temps are over approx 30 degrees Celsius. >_<

Good work Daniel!! :thumbsup:

I'm in. Been a while but it's just like riding a bike right? Except I'm in a car... Ahwell, I'll just stick to my old ways. When in doubt... Burn out.

See you all soon!

Reppin for the North East (f**k Campbell).

Filling out the form right now... ...Making payment soon...

Got my helmet today and have spent the afternoon making a bracket for my fire extinguisher...

Good work.

Time for a reminder if you rock up to scrutineering with a loose fire extinguisher, Maccas wrappers in the back seat, loose carpets, missing wheel nuts, loose battery, amp held in by cable ties, crappy beaten up helmets or anything else like that you'll be told to go and sort it out. The supp regs are clear about how the car is to be presented so get it right the first time. Telling the scrutineer that 'it passed at the last drift day at winton' doesn't mean anything. We aren't vicdrift scrutineers :)

Fire extinguishers need to have metal brackets!

I've read over the PDF in the original post a number of times and spoke to Martin on the GOR cruise and via PM to make sure I've got everything covered... ...Paperclips are metal... :whistling:

lol, that! The last Vicdrift day I was a passenger at they let the car I was in on with only 2/4 bolts holding the passenger seat in. My trips around Winton in the car throughout the day were interesting.

not to forget:

Competitors must wear non-flammable clothing extended from ankles to neck to wrists. Nylon clothing is not permitted. Shoes must be closed toe.

this goes for passengers as well.

    • And yes would be going to tomei Japan for sure as it’s closer to me … 
    • Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong. 
    • https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.
    • PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.
    • This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
