I saw a Stagea run an 11, that's a fast boat.:)

Hi Have you towed any of the race cars yet with the Stagea?

Used your suggested suspension settings on my R33 track car's first outing....result very good, pretty neutral handling with good front end turn in. thanks :D

Good to hear, you need to fine tune the settings to your personal tastes, but it's a good place to start. As for Stagea towing, I haven't found a tow bar with enough capacity yet, still looking

Yeh when is the Winton UAS day? Im in melbourne and will be trying to convince some of the hillbillies down here to make the trip north for the weekend...:(

Could get down there one day although more likely to go to Qld. Waiting for my custom trailer to be finished.

The boat is getting pumped even more. Found the valves were badly worn from too much boost and not enough valve spring pressure even though the springs were twice factoryspec. Now have Supertech .5mm oversized valves. Found Arias chrome rings not best for high temp and boost as they wore out, so going 40 thou oversized Ross pistons with full steel rings gas nitrided and proven in big boost drag cars. All cryogenic treated. Changing turbo's from S15 to Disco potato GT28RS 440hp each. Getting the exh housings high temp HPC coated and if have time will get comp housings extrusion honed. Should make 450rwkw with if anything a little more lag which won't hurt it. Might even get semi slicks on to keep things more honnest hey FATZ?

Put new motor in and new D2 suspension and went to Nissan Datsun Nationals Easter Sunday at Wakefield. Only got three runs on the full circuit and only managed a 1 min 9.48 although still fastest car on the day next fasted was a Dato 120y coupe FJ20 near 200rwkw 900kg 2 seconds slower. Heaps of zeds and a few Skylines and a R32 GTR. Got back and pulled motor out Tuesday to remove turbo's to get extrude honed and high temp coated and a few other minor changes then going back in next few weeks ready for our track day. Bring on your GTR's or GTS-T's.

PS more GTR parts as now has GTR bronze valve guides and valve stem seals. We measured and found the valve guides to be slightly shorter and protrude less into the ports so less restriction and proven on flow bench test.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
