.Still haven't weighed her but removed around 200kg but added a bit with roll cage and big intercooler oil cooler, accusump etc so guess around 1450kg. Yes I showed everything that big SAU sticker on back. There were no GTS-T's out which is rare and a R33 GTR Daniel the white one with wheels painted black that comes to our track days and a nice red R34 GTR with GTRS turbo's and all the fruit.

After many months of research, I have concluded that the GTR was NOT the nissan flagship sportscar like everybody thought... it was in fact the stagea. and for this reason, i propose a Zeds versus Stageas competition.

:headbang:

Yes slicks, 3 .4 of them. One was still flat spotted bad from Oran Park. Was vibrating bad especially down the straight as it was like driving on 50 cent peice. I might get semi slicks and lose a sec or two max over the ones I had yesterday then more of a comparison to the .....times of GTR's? With 4 good tyres prob another sec in it.

Prank well you said it I didn't. More that the zed is under rated. I would love a Stagea, had one on order for like a year and gave up and bought a LS400 family car which is nice and yes hotted it up a bit. When you bringing her around to show us Prank?

Hey Roy the Aim lap timer is unreal. Wish I had a long time ago. So handy to know the exact times so can compare driving and set up of car. We now stock them and can do a good price on them and way cheaper and better than the types that have been available to date. PM or email me re this Roy.

Next outing is Oran Park South 23rd North Shore Sporting Car Club Super Sprint. Aiming for 47 sec. Wonder what might have been if I did up a GTR? Being the only zed out suits me. I like lots of people saying a zed was a waste of time. At least, they did.

OK how about 5 or more can do for $395 normally $475 for the up spec model with back lit screen and optional external power which is the one to get. Or if wanting the normal one battery operated only then $350 normally $399. This is if we get 5 or more of any combo.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
