MrGTST - don't worry man - I'd way be in the same boat.. thats why I'm still thinking of if I should compete or not...

What say I bring down a few helmets and we see what happens?

Anyone got a plan/where to meet worked out? Maybe we should meet up south perth way and all head in together?

"Don't be soft, it's easy.." I've heard and followed that advice before.. hehe.... tends to hurt...

But seriously - I'll be running with a 14, maybe 13.8 second car.. nothing flash so I can't see how I'm going to do anything cept for hurt my stock clutch some more..

OK fair enough.... Another question.... Is there a BP nearby that sells BP Ultimate??? I ask because since I boosted my car really chews through the petrol quickly... To the extent I am concerned about getting there and back on one tank of fuel!!! The cruise to Yanchep should be interesting too!!!

I dunno about that... Maybe its my lead foot but I use about a quarter of a tank just going to Scarborough and back and I live near Warwick so its not very far at all.... Dare I even try to drive the 40 plus K's one way to the Motorplex drag and try to get home :P

I think you could put it down to my lead foot and the fact that I am still enjoying the novelty of high boost all the time.... even when its not needed.....

"I think I will go to the shops .... that will require high boost for sure" :P

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
