I'm willing to lose weight to race :) however I fail to comply for HSV day :D  

Winton looks like a goer. Anyone going to Winton? and do you need an extinguisher?

I might be in for the fun day @ Winton on Sunday... there's no pre-registration, I think u just show up and pay on the morning. You dont need a fire extinguisher, just a roadworthy vehicle, and a helmet.

Are you having issues with the sandwich plate too ferni? So am I. Did you wanna PM me you number so I can have a chat to you about it? Cheers.

Apparently there is a design flaw with the sandwich plate on the early group buy oil cooler kits from Meridian.. the newer ones have been corrected. But because of the way the Nissan oil filters fit, the sandwich plate inner ring lip has to be ground back about 2mm. Contact Toby @ Meridian about it if you got your kit from there..

Nah

from the sounds of it it was just punters and a few wankers in GTR's :D

I'll get owned by some, but I reckon there will be plenty of HSV and FPV scalps to take, and maybe we'll exchange a bit of respect.

Adz, I told you to ring Toby and get it sorted. Listen to the stupid scottish bastard!

Ferni bought a HKS kit from UPI not our kit from Meridian. So just goes to show nothing is perfect all the time. Even HKS can be crap.

Looks like you figured it out Adz... its not my sandwich plate that is wrong, i think its the (4) fittings up to it, and as scottsman said i had a HKS kit fitted by UPI.... they said to bring it down and they will fix it, so hopefully no big deal, as soon as i can get my car back together... supposed to be getting a heater core tomorrow, so will be trying to figure out where everything goes back in the dash tomorrow night. Not paying $200 for a day at PI, if my car is working by then i might come and watch, or if anyone offers me a $110 ticket i'll put my car on the track, gotta beat that 1.57 the instructer ran in my car...

There were a few guys interested in attending this day yesterday.

My advise is if you wish to attend then give Chris Kelly a quick call and tell him you are from Skylines Australia. He's knows we have a bunch of guys interested and there was still room left on Friday afternoon. Tell him you will come along if its only $110.

For a HSV guy he's a damn good bloke from my dealings with him! haha. He can be contacted on the following number.

0419 003 529

If he says all is good I have the fax details that you can send your forms into. The more skylines the merrier guys! :D

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
