Just cause you dont drive it less, make sure you still change the oil regularly as it will degrade over time etc etc.

I'd start it every 3-4days if you can to give all the lines and all that a bit of a run through. Just what id do, if it does anything i dunno

Pull the plug on the cas and crank it for a bit to build a bit of oil pressure before starting as all the oil will have drained back to the sump.

Mine takes a bit longer to get pressure than i'd like and it only sits for 5-6 days at most.

Get a solar powered battery charger, they trickle charge a enough to stop the battery dying:cheers:

PS; Why have you got a great car that you don't drive?  Isn't that why you bought/built it?

Thanks all.

SKid, I have a co. car with newish job, too much to do ..... no time for fun.

i drive my 33 once a week. only on weekends, never driven on weekdays, no need to.

my starter motor is not working properly, the overrun clutch isnt disengaging and keeps the bendix in the ring gear for a few seconds after it starts. only started doing it when i stopped driving it though the week..

i also let it fully warm up before i drive it anywhere, and i dont leave a full tank of fuel in it while it sits there.

cheers

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
