What do they sually go for?

Saw the lap times for car 3. Early days yet, very early! It was all over the shop. Then again, it was what, mins 4 degrees out there early this AM,,,,, brass monkey bts! That MyLaps app/site gives nowhere near the detail that Natsoft uses, bugger of a site/app to use

Circuit D, is Turn Right after bridge, then Turn Right into Esses, to rejoin front straight. You'll mever see "20 clicks" on that short course! Better off sing a lower ratio diff to get it out of corners quicker. You'll find the other Z's are doing this! But, then again, you're a bit different, and proud to be so! Typo,,, 200 clicks,,, not 20!

Will check arts boxes, If i forget to get back to you, message me.

Pickering/Boddy take out First in Classic category

On the Variety events,,,, we all wore matching pink overalls,, Socks jocks and tee shirts just got chucked in the bin after a couple days, We each had our own 2man tent, a blow up Li-Lo, and a sleeping bag, the lot, including clothes, a rain jacket, etc went into a duffle type bag. Swags are way to cumbersome, when there is four in the car!

Hang on, you pad $8800 And you're trying to flog itt off as second hand used kart for $7900? Gee i'll tell the guys I was chatting to that you still want the new price! Used karts, like these sell at 4000 for 2-4 y/o, to 6000 for near new!

Aahhhh! I did have two, but James Flett at MIA has put a buy hold on them! How about a complete ready to assemble , all the good bits !!, 87.5mm long motor, was a spare for my old Group S race car. $2000 discount on replacement cost?

Stew Wilkins does a long range capacity tank for a Z, as used by many in long range endurance ralles. I ran a 1966 Chevrolet Belair in many Variety bash evens, i had it fitted with an additional 100 litre tank, in the boot, behind back seat on the bit of floor above the diff. It retained the stock 80 litre tank under floor at rear, but, i fitted a alloy sheet folded tank bashplate, with 1/2" thick closed cell foam between tank and bash plate, to stop stones getting in there and puncturing tank. A two way switch on the dash controlled a simple two way solnoud valve, mounted inside boot, we'd fill both, use up all the under ank, car would go "cough cough" then switch to auxilliary tank in boot. Reason for using under tank first, was, n case we punctured the bottom tank in the rough stuff. Saw a few others put neat holes nto tanks in Gibb River Road! In the Z, maybe consider keeping stock tank, fit a bash plate, and then, in spare wheel well a circular tank made to be flush with flor, so a piece f plate can be sealed/fitted to floorpan and have it all flsh. Spare tyres mount,, a couple of bolted in bits of steel rhs with a bloody decent bolt poking up, to maybe enable two tyres one on top f ther, with top one on uside down so the bolt it not too long, to make it easy to get out. The Peking Paris cars run tyres on a roof rack, gets a bit cumbersome and looks a bit ugly, i reckon. Oh and use steel rims, if they get bent, you can bash the lips back out with a hammer. Your pics are on the money! I really should write a book!

Looking at various L, RB and SR, along with FJ front cover plates, the ones inside front of bell, quite a few have no ability to drain any built up oil, and, as above, the ones that do, can be eadily blocked with gobs f sealant that does get squeezed into the drain recess. Jim71Z suggestion f a milled flat ( not mch!) is a good solution. When drilling the 16mm hole for RB/asR into L bell, i wrap a bit f emery tape around a drill bit, and "hone" the hole in the bell out a touch, as the top rod can baulk/cock and make shifting difficult.

Have you sold this second hand go-kart yet?

On sonc, the N42's have a bit more wall thickness than F54's, but core shift in casting process s a concern. Spend a bit, get it hot tanked and soniced, its insurance. I use Jack Bros in Underwood, quick turn around, and, when pistons/rings selected, use them for boring. They are very good.

Sorry, I'm out, the ones I have the pulley sheave is in front f the balancer. They are a 2 piece item, bolt on sheace.

Hydraulicing? As in how, ?, the cavity inside the front cover where the selector rods slip into, not draining/blocked? I have seen excess silicon sealant cause isues. Also had the top rod baulking, as the hole drilled into hell, at 16mm wasnt relieved with a bit of emery, the rd at 16mm was galling ( L bell conversion to SR/RB)

Got a couple, Hard to jdge diameter on your pic. I can slip it into a front cover and guesstimate it. Yes, postage from Aus to Canada will be interesting. I'm back in Vancouver next February, f you can wait that lng,,,,,,!

Odd that you have that on a F54, i'd say it was fitted later!

Factory standard for the 44's on a 2.4 are,

Keep reminding me, i'll get back into the shed for more clearing up sometime this week. I know I have two wood crates f dismantled 71A boxes.

Can help. Short 3 into 2 twin outlet. Comes with flange plate. m me your email and I can send some pics. No EGR, no air nject ports

L20A, or, L20B ?

John, that setup is close to/same as the AZC rear lower inner, and yes, it will give ability to change roll center, but, you cant use the stock as supplied AZC rear LCA's. They need to be lengthened, to suit. For finer on alignment machine adjstability, the bolts need to be slotted, enabling the inner and of LCA to be moved vertically up/down, thats roll centre adjustment, For the S130 and later Z31 running K frame semi trail arms, the amount f. Roll centre adjstability in the up/down is very minimal, to slight, with the ears on the rear crossmember fully slotted, correctly, the geometry is such that roll centre is in a very clse range with very little ability to raise or lower. The slotting of the rear ears on the crossmember does give much better control r rear end toe and camber adjustment, which is what will "settle" a IRS K frame rear end down, and give much better handling.

I have a good supply of 71A parts, and can source others a fair bit quicker!

I'm very interested to see how roll centre is "increased" Gotta be a fast racer thing, for a 280ZX and a yet to be Z31 The Taxi's have been doing it for years, on the back ends.

Matty, He cant help himself, can he! And referencing two cars that have no comparison, one a turbocharged V6 Sports Sedan, the other a 4.1 litre Sports Sedan! Neither of which actually race, let alone have experienced EC T1 ! ( sphincter pucker suction marks on seat bases ! ) Prior to Retro, Steve did a test day at EC to dial into it, got a text from him, he was very pleased, and improved his PB by some 4 secnds! Years of Group S Alfa racing certainly shows experience and ability to give it some, and push it hard, as seen by a few touches of oppy lock! Bloody good to see it going hard! Brett, James F and I have spoken plenty re the elegibilty of stuff, and getting stuff accepted, we just have to use what we can Noticed the ex Rob Switzer Black/Silver ( recently Gp S Lgbooked, but not raced) 260 was running regularity in the hands of Kyle Alford ( Donut Tony's young fella) hopefully he'll move up into Group S ranks!

Ummm, looked like a blue Porker tagged the front left, exiting T2 last weekend!He's christened it now!
