Yeah man it gives the car a different feel for sure. These need to have classic detailing to look any good IMO.... There's one that I want to try and buy around here... Going to see what I can do by the end of the year. It's been sitting by a barn for a few years.

^^ those wheels have a passing grade in my books.

Lol, how does that show that a wheel grips well? He said they adversely affect grip, no that they pop off the bead . Mega stretched tyres also need more pressure to prevent bead pop right? So there's another traction killer.

40litre will be heaps. I also don't run a surge tank setup, and don't have many issues. Fuel cells aren't that wide so there are fewer issues with surge than a normal tank.

Ha! That took 5 hours with 2 of us working ed.... I'm pretty sure normal cars are easier as you can unpick the rails.

Is DOT actually an NZ regulation though? Or do we only need ~~mm over 75% of the tyre surface? I'd try to go for a semi slick anyway... Or a race wet with the "FOR RACE USE ONLY" sanded off

I think it's actually an RM8. Will make a thread when it makes it's way back home.

They'd definitely be easier to take snaps of . Pics from different angles?

I'm sorry? Did I say it wasn't going to cost anything? Probably should have.

. May have an RM12 coming my way soon....

Yeah you've got it man. I can't afford to upgrade to a G4 at the moment but will look into it down the track... Once I've finished studying. You don't happen to have a spare VVTi pulley from that engine?

^ Bingo. But it's good cause you can place it strategically for balance.

Nah, both of the Silvia's are well developed cars and a lot of the EVO's have stepped up to the NZGT class. Tony Olivers car is the ex-Mag and Turbo S15 that ran in SuperGT... It's trick. Malcolms S14 is one of the two Enduro cars that was built in Auckland. That and they're both kickass drivers. There is an evo doing well in the class this year, but he normally does well in the handicap races.

Yeah for sure!! Makes the job easy... Just shove it in, walk around the machine and catch it as it arrives - perfectly smooth.

Heh, those AP13 Ryobi thicknessers aren't too bad... Just don't get greedy or it'll spit it's cogs!

Already been covered....

Shit... That'd make a sweet trophy .

I think Rick Bones datsun wears a set of those as well.

... Stink, most of the 245's in there say 9.5" wheel max.... But I suppose 1/2 an inch is hard to measure, and you wouldn't struggle with re-stamping .

Leading open class (maybe overall) atm is Malcolm with the Blue S14 silvia - probably 250KW or more ATW and it gets pretty squirrely on the semi's. There's also Tony oliver with the Mad S15 silvia.... Yes, R888's are fine. Just get it going and come up for some track time! The more seat time you have, the better you will be in real racing. It's pretty dangerous jumping into a field of 30+ cars if you haven't done much clubsport...

If thats the way it works, then i must have a 5L SS2000 allows Turbo 2l vehicles in the "open" class, but they have to run Semi slick tyres and have a few other regulations. Solution - Go N/A .

^^ Choice. We do that at my work.... Can relate. That is all.

^^ I think it's a 2litre? Good stuff man! Struts look good... Get that motor running and you'll be nearing the home stretch!
