why can you not xray the BC's?

you need double the dish to begin with.

The 4.5 L VH45DE featured variable valve timing, also known as VTC, from 1990 until 1995. This was due to the "Gentleman's Agreement", requiring all imports to produce no more than 280 hp. Nissan got around this by publishing the hp rating without VTC, meaning it's actual power rating is closer to 310 hp and 330 lb·ft. of torque.

ur kidding. Who confirmed that BC front wont pass a cert? Pretty gutted as I wanted a set for my car!!

for that kinda money i would deff go VH45de vh- later model one with steel backed guides etc... then get a flywheel/adaptor plate kit to bolt it to nissan silvia manual box (they are available from the usa). But thats just me. The v6's u are talking about are also very cool. I've been in 350z's and was surprised by their poke. -Nathan,

there always seem to be cheap 86 billies on trademe- maybe grab them as they come up and get them rebuilt and valved to suit your car and springs?

disagree sorry. no idea on 86 rear seat weight but all the plastic trim and carpet weighs next to nothing, certainly not 30kg!!! dash pad weighs 3kg because its got a steel backing, yes? removal of sound proofing obviously saves weight but he doesn't seem to be talking about this. Pull interior out, remove sound proofing, replace interior... boom. Feel free to weigh your plastic bits plus carpet then prove me wrong.

carpet and interior weigh sweet f-all in reality. weigh it all and surprise urself.

looks way better without the skirts. fix the rear corner first.

here you go. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 376077.htm

how does a turbo motor make it corner better?...do you say dumb shit on purpose?

his carb is not the same as the one on my 3a. The throttle cable only manually opens the throttle about 10% of the way. im told the rest is vac actuated.

stripped the 85 today and gave it a good waterblast inside and out. These things are flimsy!!

Hi all. Mates trying to get his ae85 running. his motor has a funny carb with a sliding barrel rather than a butterfly. hard to explain. does anyone have info on these carbs? specifically, how to get rid of all the emissions shit, bla bla. any kinda diagram showing hoses and wires would be great.

Its a rolling shell with lots of work required. I'd be delusional to think its going to be going any time soon.

nah he is returning it to standard hence i got his wing. I think he even wants to go back to a bluetop. Most of all wants to undo all the ugly rough shit that got done. pm me if you want his number or anything.

hahaha yeah maybe a 20v or bluetop is on the cards. Its being stripped down tomorrow. Cousins going to paint it for me once the rust is done

I'm not into the whole old bike thing and know nothing about them... but this copper plating a bike has got to be the coolest idea i have heard for a long time. It looks great and will only get better!

hahahah fuck this is funny. I feel bad. If you can't jack a car up without advice then maybe its OK if you get instruction on painting wheels.

TRD rear wing. Made by that mike shaw character. Second hand because im on a tight budget. You can see my new (old) webber charcoal BBQ in the background too!.. woo.

is that going to tarnish and turn green? cooool

I'm keen to hear your feedback on the new engine location once racing starts. Sorry if i missed this- but have you had it on corner scales?

man drilling holes in your strut towers would take all of 5 minutes total. Or just get wheels that fit proper.

No need to be like that, Mike. cool idea. I'd come....but my 85 is years away from being done.

nah i'll sell those wheels as want something much much wider to fill out some TRD guard blisters. I'll clean these wheels up a bit and sell them... or sell them as is. I had a chat to my cousin yesterday- He's a panel beater. He'll be coming over to spray the paint and primer plan is 13bt, bigger diff, trd n2 kit
