So what car(s) are we looking for Duncan when Roy comes over to watch the video I taped.

I remember now the Beemer killer was a brunette.

Hint: It's listed under her name :Oops:

"The faster you are going the less time there is to concentrate on actually learning to drive."

I agree totally with this. I learned more about the track in two slow laps in the rain than the whole 200k I did in the dry at full pace.

Snowman / Roy - If we were to get anything going with the Dutton we would need to make moves (decisions) in that direction very quickly. Money to spend on the car is my problem and a small sponsor would help. I can come up with entrace fee, but would like to spend more on car to become competitive with the R34 and others. But at the end of the day I would be there for sure.

Christ, did someone actually get one of those understeering, too short, breathless barges to go well enough to enter an event?

I hear europe got a suspension package that fixed the handling, but I hated the local hatch I drove. BTW I realise they call them a coupe, but it's a 3 door hatch OK.

Anyway well done Kel. We'll be taking a long hard look.

I also understand Kero (Fats brother) has a cd copy now after some thread searching. Mine is also welcome to be borrowed but is taped at 1/4 speed so you may need my video which is a permanent wife accessory for lifestyle programs.

BTW - Roy - what happened with you and Chris and the Dutton? Or is that to be discussed based upon results of your R32?

Its a possibility, but its a little too late to get sponsors, i could get my hands on enough money to do the event, but would have to pull out of a commitment i have already mate to a crew with a team for the BP Rally the same wekend.

I think it may be best to wait fot he PIARC day later that month, may even have some new brakes to be sure not to fall off the island. :Oops:

Oops sorry Kel posting the *slight* off pic. Didn't mean to put that one up.

That's okay, you'll also see me killing a witches hat in the Speedweek coverage :Oops:

For the record though, that pic is of my co-driver Dan.

Not sure how useful we'll be but happy to let anyone entered in the Vic Dutton pick our brains (well, maybe I need to revise that reference since Fatz was on the team!).

My main tip- if you're not going to win, do something spectacular!

Chrisman...LOL...welcome to SAU :)

Id like a few photos for my own archive, but for hopefully obvious reasons i hope you appreciate why id rather not have pictures of the car on a public forum... :(

Kel, what punishment was there for Majanal emulating Fatz in the 350Z? I think you should have taken his beer rations away from him :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
