Cheers guys , I've made my mind up , the 30 will stay , with turbo kit , when it blows I'll slap the 20 in :D , I have a flowed 25 turbo , gtr injectors and a z32 laying about I'm sooo tempted to whack on the 30 , I doubt the gearbox will take it for long though lol

good choice!

Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Fairly minor, but got my brakes bled last night.. 4th attempt. They kept going to the floor on the first pump. Brodie tried once, same deal. Brodie then worked out the calipers must have a nipple on each side, which I had totally overlooked. Now I have a nice firm pedal. I won't set fire to it after all. Fitted my lexan rear screen a week or so back. Fitted up some rear camber arms. Brodie has sussed out costs and thinks we can build a trailer for roughly 2.5k, hopefully that works out. Another 4k or so should see the car trackable so aiming for end of the year to have everything sorted.

Small update on the whale.

Ended up selling the superlites & was going to run 16x10 steelies but have gone back to 18's

So now running 18x11 all round (anyone know if advan a048's are road legal)

PIcs: looks like a 4x4 now compared to the superlites.

R31 sold :(

Ended up getting a good price for it tho, and now have no worries about it sitting around etc

So tempted to spend the money from that on the stagea, but will have to resist. I'll probably allocate a small amount to cover maintenance items that are a bit overdue

Looks better than the superlights. sure they are 11's? must have a pretty high offset?

A048's are fine on the road, just dont expect them to last to long. the wear pretty quick.

Definitely 11's +25 offset I believe. They would sit flush/poke a little if I hadn't raped my guards trying to fit the superlites.

Made up some fully mad blank plates to block some unwanted openings in my front bar. Only got one strip to go the other opening will be for my brake ducting. Probably don't need brake ducting for a super sprint/hill climb car but what the hell. Also playing around with some canard/dive plates just fiddly stuff. Cost nothing to do as the material is laying around. Got a new oil cooler kit and accusump kit planned and sussed out too. Dropped my new rear wheels off today to be soda blasted so they can get and coat of ye old bleck. Gonna shitcan my original surge tank setup, and go with one of the proflow 5 litre jobs, just a bit neater and will do the job nicely. Also went and spoke to Steve Caplice thismorning, and the news was all good. The car is legal to do the events I'm shooting for, and a bonus was he said my car can Infact be log booked for events up to state level competition, which means it could be passed for super series. That's not what I'm planning on but nice to know it could be done. The old snotter will be lapping in the not too distance future, biggest hurdle is gonna be car trailer. Til i've got one its gonna be a 'bar off job' to transport it. Not ideal but doable I guess. image_zps539c4714.jpg

Think I've seen your car sitting at Adam's Beau? He does a pretty good job with fabbing intake piping/exhaust piping etc. from what I've seen.

Can anyone confirm for me, that the gauge cluster in an R32 has the boost gauge above the fuel gauge for a GTST, battery voltage gauge for GTS, or front torque gauge for GTS4/GTR?

Anyone get the gktech email? I signed up too late but apparently its one of their products at about 70% off!

Just wondering what it was that they can sell at such a high discount

Also, i bought a full set of their 15-30mm spacers from a guy at the drifting the other day, just waiting for my long wheel nuts to come from gktech so i can put them on :D

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
