What do the correct wheels look like?

Is the price they are asking about right? Was also quite interested in this car. But no doubt will be sold by the time I can russle up the funds.

Fired the car up this morn. After spending all night stressing something was wrong. Turned out I had been sent the wron Apexi Power FC. A D-Jetro instead of a L-Jetro. So I ether go and by $500 worth of required sensors. Or wait to after new years to get the correct one. So I am waiting. No huge gains having the airflowless version when I am only making around 220rwkw. But she runs nice and smooth. But the stock ecu doesnt like the bigger injectors much. Not driving it at all till I have the new ecu and a tune.

Much much lower. Stock compression ratio for my SR20DET motor is 8.5:1 the NA version the SR20DE is 9.5:1 When running in the range of 200rwkw the cars are running about 1 - 1.2 bar boost on the factory turbo. At 10:1 I would need to be running race gas. And that might not work ether.

It was actually 8 thou that was taken off. Stupid Imperial measurements. It was taken off as the melted piston had done a good job killing that bore and warped the top. But the motor is all in now. 2mm Trust/Greedy Headgasket. Should bring it down to 9.1 - 9.2 which is very workable. I will just have a response instead of massive boost. But hey thats cool with me. Dont like having to rely on the hairdrier. Goes to get tuned 2moro. Will post up the dyno chart. I also have one to compaire it too. Mate did the same mods but without any increases in comp. Very glad I asked you guys. Thanks once again. Dan

Thats a good idea. Start restricting certain aspects of the cars to force them to go more eco. Then the tech from that may trickle into production cars.

Knew I should have purchased them when you listed them for $600. Over my budget for what I would pay for them now.

I had a landing like those in Edinburgh. Scared the crap out of all the people on the plane. It touched down on one set of landing gear and wiggled around a bit fighting the wind then dropped like a rock onto the other side landing gear. British Airways plane. Two engine one.

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.
