LOL at the facepalm decoupage! I'm sure this was on out at Millmerran not so long ago! It was big excitement for a little town!

Exedy FTW! The R33 GTST we built primarily for drags had a brilliant hyper single in it up until we ran slicks and caused the clutch to slip. It had 450hp at the bags and managed a PB of 12.6 shearing a driveshaft somewhere along the track. Personally I would never have a ceramic based clutch. I thank MEC2402 for this knowledge !!! While ceramic is very grippy due to its high friction coefficient, it has an inherent weakness in its inability to resist stress propagation. Once a concentration of stress forms in say a pit in the pad or some other point with a tight radius, it will propagate very quickly when loaded (ei. dropping the clutch, too many revs) and result in a mess (think BOOM type mess). This is fine for a track car but for a regularly street driven car, organic with as many dampening springs as possible (personal preference I guess ) We will need pics when you open it up!

Am I allowed to hate you for your purchase? When its all done, I think I might stalk your car.......

For those who are following the live results, Jon Siddins finished third in early classic prologue today. It'll be interesting if he can win again this year. Our inspections guy, Shane Pudsey, isn't entering this year, he normally runs one of his GT4 Celica's. In previous years my director (50 something years of age) ran as his navigator! My director also has an imported 56 Belair and an original Falcon GT stored in his shed. I love my workplace!

Not good to hear mate. Like everyone is saying it will only get better. Prologue was today, do you happen to know the name of the driver or the car number?

What about swap for an S15 and cash?

Lol! It'll be worth it in the end though. Any news on the megasquirt??

The girls like driving S15s for some reason, I hardly get to drive mine, the missus always gets to the keys before I do My only dislike of the S15 is the gearbox, I get sick of changing gears so much while driving around town! The close ratios are good for the hills though

I'll be looking forward to this with keen interest!

There was a workshop in town (closed some years ago) that built one up with 500HP at the treads apparently without opening the engine, it had the number plates "blade". The used to comment heat dispersion was the hardest thing to get right on a 300ZX. The unique autosports 'slot car' is another good example. I was looking into a VG30DETT because I can get a half cuts roughly $1000 cheaper than an RB25DET. I know there is a convertible zed proclaimed as "the most powerful Zed in oz" on youtube with vids of dyno runs at autosalon.

I've looked around a bit on the net without much luck. Generally finding comments like "the turbos didn't fit so I made a VG30DE instead". I know they're good motors and had a bit of research done on them, apparently Nissan tuned the length of the intake runners........ Has anyone every seen a VG30DETT crammed into a zed?

Thats FKN HOT!! I demand you video some of your races in this thing!!

Any chance of getting pics/info on the front brake setup?

Try this link for some ideas for your gearbox mount issues. link

He almost got lapped by the 300 and R33 at the end (3 laps I think). 10/10 for perseverance, I think we were sitting next to his family in the grandstand

Any progress on this beast NZeder?

I want dyno proof on that hp!

That might be a good idea! Looking tops so far! How many aitch pees where you hoping for as an end result?

Now those electric windows ARE nifty! Mind telling use how much they set you back?

Got busy with the DSLR today for the first time in a long time. Was a good day, as we turned up Mark Berry's was taking his R34 GTR to the pits and he was just too quick for me to go and touch its awesomeness :'(. Some very fast cars (and some nutter drivers!) and the weather stayed mostly ok. Not my best work but it'll do! Enjoy! One freakishly fast L series zed my choice of the day! I'm also uploading some short vids. I lent my charger for the big camera to a mate and forgot to get it back and consequently had no charged batteries for it! Link to youtube! Warning! L series induced orgasm may ensue!

Not sure if its known, the gearbox spline on a 260Z tailshaft will fit a RB20DET gearbox. I was bored and my RB20 box was sitting next to my 260Z tailshaft and I thought "what if.....?".

Saw this thing getting around yesterday, mighty fine looking rims!

Looking good! Can you fill in your location too? Theres a guy named Lurch on the forum who likes to know where everyone is from

Only if does the chipmunk between shifts, uno that gay "pssscht do do do" sound.....
