Im not running hand brake at moment I have fitted mounting plates to fit cable operated wilwood spot calipers But been lazy and waiting till I rebuilt spare lsd which is done now so hopefully next few weeks ill get motivated and fit them up Mick

This is bull Tassie government pay v8s to come here and race now we have to put up with a 1 hour delayed highlight package to see it if we cant make it to race track Sick of fat cats at V8s and Afl making money and giving nothing back to the supporters Mick

geez I need more hp to keep in front of u Hodgo never managed to break my r180 with old Nissan v8 or r200 with new v8 did fry some clutches but hey that was Nissan fault for only fitting 2 instead of 6 Might have to buy some new tyres for barrington if I want a chance of beating u that hill mick

Im very happy with 4.3 diff improved my lap times at Symmons plains The gearbox ratios work much better pulling hard in 5th into coca cola corner And on Hillclimbs ratios work well and launches a dream last Hillclimb i was matching the targa winning evo10 with launch control to first timing mark And it still cruises happily in 6th on 1700 revs for 110 kph Surprised you got through rego here with hydraulic hand brake but good luck to u What part of the state u in Justin Mick

Agh now I know your car was told it was sold to someone in Tasmania Im running my own custom 1 7/8 4 into one extractors twin 3" exhaust t56 gearbox r200 4.3 lsd diff 243 heads performance manifold tune and cam Bilstein shocks and most of Arizona z car earlier suspension components arms and coil overs plus Arizona z car 6 spot front and 4 spot rear brake package Topstage front spoiler and undertray Jim cook racing rear spoiler 18 simmons wheels and a Bit of nitrous for fun at powercruise Love to see your car in the flesh one day spent a lot time talking to Andrew and swapping emails with info for his build Mick

ls1 commodore v8 in mine

With new heads manifold and throttle body got car re tuned and managed a 400.4 hp at wheels with 70hp shot of nitrous got it up to 438 hp was very happy with this result my search for power is over having broke 400 hp barrier Took car to powercruise running real well till last drag practice when I broke and cv shaft Im blaming local cv workshop as when I asked him to cut a new circlip slot in to allow cv race to move up shaft to shorten it little bit more which he said he did When I pull it apart he took circlip off and welded 3 spot welds at end of spline can see where crack starts on one of the welds Guess heated treated shaft don't like welding even I knew that not happy Now anyone out there should know how rare these z31 axles are becoming I Read a thread that Nissan pathfinder shafts have same spline so I bought couple and yes shaft has same spline so I can use z31 cv joints on shaft Joints look fine no signs of wear or abuse But shafts are 40mm short so Im thinking this is a positive as well might need a spacer but can now set shaft up with some movement not tight like it is with the z31 shafts Ill let u know how it fits up Mick

240z v8 up here on the sunshine coast

Well nearly ready for powercruise next weekend and 2 hillclimbs next month Built a new set of 1"7/8 4 into one extractors and had them ceramic coated New 243 heads fitted should lift compression from 10 to 1 to 11 to 1 New typhoon manifold fitted and 92 mm throttle body seems to go a lot harder with these mods Will check hp figures on dyno at powercruise Was thinking grill looked to big so I made a zed badge to fill the gap

Zed drove home just fine Hodgo fastest car to drive there and home again Baskerville sounds good need to have a look at next years calendar and make it happen Mick
