That's a 'stumpy' 5-speed FS5W71B. It won't fit into your C110 (too short).

The RB20 & RB25 will bolt into an S13 & S14 chassis - but beware of cooling issues. They tend to overheat - badly!

Kayaba (KYB). Where are you located?

As I recall my car was very much a 4-wheel drifter once I'd upgraded my suspension. It would turn and turn and turn, then you were washing out in a drift. This probably was also due to the fact that I had an open diff & a laggy turbo setup. I'll update with the 'new' attitude once my L28ET & 4.375:1 LSD are installed! The car handled like a bucket of crap when I first bought it - retreads, stuffed shocks & saggy springs. It tried to tear the steering wheel out of your hand when you went over bumps. 25 year old suspension will do that.... My DR30 Skyline would be a mild understeerer - if I didn't poke the right foot & push it into a gentle powerslide (which is sooo easy & stable, even with partial throttle openings).

The copyright angle can get quite confusing (interesting?)sometimes. For example, my dad has posted several hundred images to the Sony ImageStation web site. On that site it clearly states that once you have uploaded an image, the ownership & copyright is transferred to Sony..... My personal take on that is that he still owns the shots & I expect our local copy to be around longer than the ImageStation site! I've got lost of images of various automotive events on my web page, and they were all taken by me, my girlfriend (the resident camera thief....), or one of my associates at the event. I'd rather keep a copy on my own web than risk losing ownership of my material. That's not to say that there aren't images of my cars/events on other webs (including this one).

Allow a day for the complete job (out/in). But if the bushes are stuffed then spend a few $$ & some time to replace them all.

Pedders will sell you Nolathane, Rare Spares Noltec, and any decent suspension shop wil sell you either or K-Mac (branded Nolathane?). You will get bushes with new sway bars. I found that the rear control arm bushes were harder to come by than all others. If you can't find what you want here, get some G-Machine bushes from MSA, Nismo, or VB.

The 2003 Classic Adelaide is less than a week away (it starts next Wednesday). I'll be spending many hours abusing my camera & cheering on the drivers this year! FYI, the domestic Falcon is powered by a 182 kW 4.0L 6-cylinder, a 240kW 4.0L 6-cylinder turbo, or one of several V8's with outputs of either 220 or 260kW. See http://www.ford.com.au for more info.

I'm glad you replied Mike, cause I didn't know the answer However, I'd expect the outcome of said protest could be dependant on what ratios you have inside the box. If they are as-per Option 'x' then your only 'advantage' is more power handling, which would't releavnt if the engine was of a certain spec & deemed to be legal. I'll ask my local CAMS rep & see what he has to say!

A bit of info that I heard was that Hollinger are the manufacturer for Trust gearsets. I'd give them a call & get the complete story on the FS5....B series boxes though.

Don't forget that you can get Hollinger internals stuffed into the Nissan boxes (with the ratios of your choosing). It could end up cheaper than new genuine Option gears....

And THAT is the crux of the matter. When an expensive & fast car gets cheap enough to be bought readily on the used market, the risk of a bad image goes through the roof. Having said that - bring on the LOUD & extensively modified Zeds. The more the merrier

Crap - forgot all about it. Went a couple of years back, there were a few parts there - I got an S30 parts manual for $80 & some FSM's for about $20. I've also recently remembered that there was a company there that would make 1-off rubber parts if you could provide a sample. Well, I've been scouring the globe for hatch hinge seals & I still have my old buggered ones. So a re-manufacture might be on the cards!

That would be $1.60 per gallon, our friends in the EU are paying almost that per litre..... You guys in the Holland & Denmark are closer to oil fields than the rest of us, what gives? BTW I'll be paying around $600AUD p/a for registration

If you can't crank it, back off (retard) the timing. It could be too advanced & kicking back on the starter. One way to check this is to crank it with the coil disconnected, if it cranks fine, then you have a timing issue (perhaps only a few degrees).

In which case you have solved our national shortage of volunteer lifesavers! Ahh, it's all class. but one other thing that SA has going for it is is that we are the only state NOT settled by convicts!
