  1. Cheers Spence Straight pipe was all good, he didn't even mention it. He's a genuine car nut (has photos framed in his home garage of himself doing burnouts in the aforementioned Camaro)
  2. Thanks Joe! Julian is a GC to deal with, plus he has an LS1 powered Camaro No camber arms, beachlander. Might have to make some/buy some if it fails w/alignment
  3. Cert check today on the Mark II went pretty well Fit air filter to turbo (so kiddies can't put their fingers in there?) Wheel alignment report, which is my biggest concern if camber is out of spec - will find out next time. Julian thinks it should be ok though. Fit 2nd throttle spring, easy peasy. Front struts too close to rims. So he gave me some Falcon discs out of the rubbish which I can easily machine down and use as a spacer. Then just drill & tap my hubs to suit. The discs are the perfect 5-6mm that we need and has the pcd all ready drilled. Too easy
  4. Slam them in as is and run e85
  5. It lives in an old woolshed haha. You have a good ear!
  6. Cheers dude. Next vid should have a little more action Hopefully not far away too!
  7. Exhaust finally finished. 3.5" straight pipe, twin 2.5" stainless tips for a more subtle/stock look.
  8. Getting shit done. Driveshaft loops made and installed. Coilovers passed NDT today.
  9. Also bought a R32 GTR front lip through Alex/Moonlight racing. My inspiration
  10. Bought some Enkei RPF1s in 18x9 +35 and 18x10 +38. I was a little worried I may have fucked up the offsets and thought 18" might be a little large but I'm pretty happy with the fitment. Looks pretty sweet in person so can't wait to get it sitting on the ground again. Just need to massage the lips a little to get it to fit 255/35 in the rear and 225/35 up front Slowly getting there. Fully focused on the car now after a pretty messy few months.
  11. I agree with these other chaps. I'm willing to bet you could throw a lot more timing in under full load. I ran more timing with 12psi in an old engine of mine. 20deg @ 12psi from memory. Another I think was around 23deg @ 8psi. Both engines were on factory cast pistons that are notorious for cracking in these particular engines. You should be 28-32ish on 98 surely.
  12. LS can fuck right off. JZ is sweet but really the only thing that suits this car is a 1GG with a straight pipe
  13. r154s are pretty agricultural tbh. pretty sure an old fergy shifts nicer
  14. Will that stuff remove paint? Even cheap spray can shit?
  15. IDs are meant to be pretty good at low PWs, so some cheaper injectors may not be so flash. But as lith says, 390cc is fine I also lold at the 12:1 afr, but fuck it, it works. (point I was actually trying to make) If you had injectors that big chances are you wouldn't run it on gasoline anyway tbh, so would probably idle fine on e85 etc
  16. That looks choice, love the chambers poking out the bottom.
  17. Damn, was hoping I could get my learners and ride it

    NS250R

    Hey guys Looking at an ns250r, unsure of age but most likely early model. It is missing the front fairing, dash cluster and has no rego. Mostly looking at getting it just to make sweet 2cyl 2 stroke noises and fang it around the countryside, however if I'm going to fork out money for it, I'd like to know if they are actually worth anything if I got bored of it and wanted to sell it/finish and do it up? It will run fine. Apparently it was crashed into a workbench whilst doing a burnout (needs new tyre also) hence missing the front bits I'm not so clued up about road bikes and there are none on TM to get an idea of worth
  19. Been slowly doing bits n bobs on this over the last couple of months. Not currently living near the car and riding my dirt bike while the weather has been good makes for slow progress. So while I was in the shed today I realized that if i just plugged a couple things in it might attempt to start. So, without even changing anything on the laptop - this happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMlHTer8Npk Not even sure what the timing is set at, as someone has borrowed my timing light, and it turns out the fuel pump is sucking air as I ran it almost dry when I tested the pump out a couple months back I was quite surprised it actually started
