Well I decided to pull the motor apart again. Haha. Just need to track down a 1.9 or 2.0mm head gasket now. Not very common. But they do make em. Cheers Guys. Been a good leason and great to know how to work out your compression ratio. Dan

Yeah I am not happy about pulling it to bits again. But it looks like I have no choice.

Hey thanks guys. The motor is already all together so I cant get any measurements that way. The pistons are dished typed pistons that also had a bit skimmed off the top. My Dish depth is apparently -0.115inches which converts to -2.921mm's Im not 100% sure on deck clearance though. But I have a feeling just from some quick work outs that the ration is far to high. It will be high 9's and maybe even low 10's. So I am pretty much screwed. Wish I had been more patient and purchased a thicker head gasket. But I have been desperate to get the car running again.

Hey guys, thought I would ask here to see if anybody knew how to work out compression ratios on your car. Now this is for a SR20DET. Not my BMW motor. The motor has been rebuilt and not run yet. But I am worried the compression will be too high. Remember its a 4 banger. It has 9:1 pistons installed. They are 0.5mm bigger than normal (not sure if this is already taken into consideration) e.g. are they 9:1 + 0.5mm or is the 0.5mm already included in the 9:1 figure. Not I also had to skim the block by 1mm. This is where the 9:1 must increase. I used the factory head gasket. Can somebody figure out my gibberish? Cheers Dan

Im bidding on them as I just need some bloody wheels. But what did you replace these with?

I wonder if this will effect road cars in the future. Dont understand a decision like this. What if one design has a flaw. Are they allowed to change it? Or do they have to come last for 10 years. Wonder how many teams will pull out.

Just had a look at the new Forza 2 car pack. Was so happy to see that they added one of the best cars ever to the game! The E30 M3! So now they have E30 M3 E36 M3 E46 M3 E46 M3 CSL And a few BMW race cars. Now I just have to figure out how to buy the pack.

Wow yeah. Just tried it.

Noltec adjustable camber castor plates to suit a 2002 series BMW. These are in good condition. These can easily be fitted to the e30 series BMWs by slightly slotting out two of the 3 holes in the strut tower by 3 or 4 mms. $240 Please phone or txt 0212349761

11K. No way! If it was a 2JZGTE then yeah maybe. I would price it around $6000 - $7000. And even then I would still rather a stock 325.

It is awesome huh. Nowdays if your running 1.5 bar everyone thinks your crazy. And thats 21 years later.

Love the Tornado. Was buzzed by them everyday when I was in Scotland a few years back. They fly just meters off the water through some of the valleys. Got such a fright the first time I saw one. The car is great. But what a crazy price tag.

Yeah I have owned every NFS since the first one too. But I stopped buying them after I played the last 4. Carbon was a joke. The drifting was just so crap it wasn't funny. Wont be getting the new one. Oh and Brad. Hope you have a wicked good computer for CRYSYS. I got it the other day and I can't even play on the lowest settings without chop. If you have a 8800GTS with about 2 gig of ram you should be fine.

Yeah my Dad, Brother and I all joined this year. Mainly as a requirement of the E30 race series. But there is alot of benefits with it.

Would be quite fun. Only a few years away too. http://www.dailytech.com/Nissan+Develops+C...article9611.htm

And you will find bits of glass months down the track. Pain in the ass that is.

Oh rude man. I just chased some kids off who were hiding up the side of my house. I dont know if they were trying to see whats in the garage or if they were just hiding from friends though.

Is this the one we can use for the E30 Series?

You did state it was being sold by auction. Is an obvious mistake. Hope the dudes not a cock about it. lol

You all like cars right? Watch the A1GP and back us!! New Zealand is leading the championship at the moment. Screw Netball. Rugby can take a back seat for a while. And Cricket is only good to get drunk at.

Just translated that . What I mean, is that there is so many people who have not played other console sims, yet think GT is the only good one. Try some others. And if you are interested in a console race sim. That has E36, E46 M3's. An E46 M3 CSL. And E46 M3 race cars. That you can do up how you like. Adjust nearly every aspect of the handling. And the physics are great. Try Forza 2 on the 360.

No I am not. I am talking about the Prologe Demo or what ever it is called. Its all in JAP only. Took us forever to figure out how to race. Im not sure if it is released in English yet. GT's Physics are sh*t. They have been since Forza came along and mopped them up. Now its just the Fanboys that like GT. I use to like GT. But then started trying other arcade sims. And Forza is the best you can get on a console. I dont really like PC sims too much. As there is no road cars, and no modding. They are nearly all Race car sims.

Played the Demo. Graphics are awesome. But thats about it. Physics need alot of work. No where near as good as Forza 2. Its better than the previous crap GT game. But they just focus on looks too much.

I thought it would be kinda cool. But every Apple product I have had has died. All under warranty which is lucky. But still a massive inconvenience. I just dont trust the Apple brand. And I rely to much on the use of my phone. Whats the battery life on these things like anyway?
