let me know if you do sell Anthony. My will be up for sale within in the next 6months and i will be looking for a new 34 (or possibly 32) in pristine condition.

Wont get a cleaner 34 than Ants :P

exactly! made mine look like a rust bucket

Damn financial factors!!! We are all buying houses it seems lately :P Me, Ant, Jarrad, Martin etc... Suckers i tell ya!

Newcastle thread fell off the planet? :P

Get your stickers yet Martin? I think Carmen got a pic of you running too!

Nah no stickers yet

Pic would be good to see

I need someone to edit a vid for me as well as I forgot to turn off camera and have 5 mins of unwanted footage

Destroyed tailshaft on the third run. Launched hard and when I grabbed second rear uni let go big time

let me know if you do sell Anthony. I may possible be interested in a few months depending on finacial factors (buying a house)

Yea no problem mate, im in no rush at this stage (unless i lose my job, which is a possability atm ha) more than likely be in the first half of next year if its going to happen.

Yea will see how the track day goes, but either way not sure if it will make a difference, with me getting into motorbikes and buying a house, I just dont get the time to drive the car as much as i should, and if i was going to build it for the track, its just too risky being such an expensive car that is uninsured when on there if you know what i mean, if i really like it may look at replacing it with a cheaper car that i can feel better about tracking etc..

thoughts at this stage are getting something good everyday and abit of fun (this is selling both the gtr and passat), like bmw m3 sedan or maybe c63 amg (funds permitting...) could take these to the shops, on cruises and to the track and perform quite well at all of them.

or just selling the gtr and getting something like a caterham super 7 that i can use on weekends, trackdays and hillclimbs... and a nice italian superbike to go along with it haha...

and chookie is buying an engagement ring!

all saving hard! :P

Ant yiur not selling shit :P

wheres the hill climb mat? how much?

Hahahahaha :P

2nd November at Ringwood, costs bugger all so just be there!

Nah no stickers yet

Yeah ill have to post them up for you soon! Or ill get Carmen to Bookface them for you!

I heard you killed it, meant to ask what happened lol

Hi guys! i'm just wondering if anyone has a standard turbo exhaust manifold for an r34 rb25?

Yep i do.

Yeah but you get some Euro junk and you are back to square one, you will be too much of a pussy to track it :P kidden.....

Maybe a cheaper track beast and bike is the go :) Caterham would be insane fun!

haha thats a challenge matt, if i get one of the above will see who can post the best time... i would probably need slicks but haha.

the idea of a euro car is there isnt much need to modify it (to a great extent), although i love modifying cars, its very expensive and can end badly or with a car that can be too impractical for me to use everyday etc.. and as saying, a weekend car for me atm just isnt getting enough use, but a cheaper track/weekend car could be an option, but im also getting over 3 regos and insurances ha...

yea a caterham would be uneral, imagine that thing on putty, would be interested to see if i was held up or struggle to keep up against you guys in one of them there ha.

Lol sounds awesome! By next year ill start saving towards proper rims and tyres and some aero work and start being more that just a throttle happy bogan :P Plan to hit the track as often as i can afford too hehe

Yeah i know you say that, but after being surrounded by Euro cars with Dad and business partners etc and they are an epic pain in the ass, expensive to maintain and not as reliable as you would hope! The newer models are epic though to drive etc...

Lol its like a superbike on 4 wheels! Its Martins hillclimb car with street rego :P I think you would do 2 laps of Putty to our one! You can wave when you go past and i am upside down in a tree though :action-smiley-069:

sounds good mat! let me know when you do events. I might be keen :)

Ill try remember! Still not 100% confident ill make it as ill likely break something at the track day :P

fair points, and yea the aim would be to go for the newer ones... but it is alot of money, and would only buy one if it was a pretty good daily (meaning i would need a sedan) unless i find a nice RS6 station wagon for a good price... big car but a twin turbo v10 with over 500hp would keep me pretty happy haha...

will see what happen in the future anyways... gota sort out my finances and see whats possible.

Yeah get the main things sorted then decide, in saying that i am pretty sure you have had your heart set on one for a while and if that is the case it doesnt matter who says what, you arent going to change your mind :P

hey guys. been a while since ive been on, any chance there is going to be a meet in the next few weeks. due to lose my lisence for 3 months soon so i want to go out with a decent cruise before 3 long months of walking.

Yea thats it, will see how things go.

Would be very hard to say goodbye to big bird but!

You will still see it from the other side of the planet its that bright :P

    • 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.
