Don't get out of bed for less than 500 quid but if you fancy a trip up my way you can have one for a beer. ;-) Cheers M

Note it'll only make a difference if the car is genuinely 'coked' up. Which is pretty unlikely on an F4R thats been ragged fairly often and on decent fuel. Used to love taking apart old WI WRC lumps as they'd be spotless inside thanks to the 'steam cleaning' effect of WI. Cheers M

They go in without too much of a struggle on the standard X85 Clio fitting kit. As said above Paul has them in the 172 Kompressor. Worth noting that because of the change in Euro worth against the £ they've become much more expensive than they once were! Cheers M

Should fit okay IIRC the bolt holes are the same and the 197 Dephaser is no larger than the 172 variant. Cheers M

The power boost in a can decoke stuff will make a difference......... but then so would jacking the throttle to get a 3K idle and misting some water down the intake. That'll have the sake decokeing effect for bugger all cost. Cheers M

Think we have a couple of the proper X85 ones if you want? How are you mounting the lump if not via the top mount? Cheers M

Keep an eye out for the guys in Pi/Cosworth shirts. That'll be us lot ;-) Cheers M

Dave has a long standing relationship with us stemming from the Nissan Touring Car days. Very good chap and a very, very talented engine builder! You can tell just by looking at the Elise that a lot of time, effort and money has gone into it but then again its a quality job and it shows. I...

Not too bad price wise actualy. You can source most of the bits from Japan using a combination of two rotor and three rotor parts as a base. Does require a bit of custom fab though. No reason why you couldn't do a five or six rotor either if you were made enough ;-) Cheers M

I think you need our D2 in there chap, with 20hz GPS for sector times :-) Much nicer than the Stack system. Could even do steering wheel mounted shift lights if required. Cheers M

Only if you mount the rad above the oil level in the box. Oil runs downhill but not uphill ;-) You want the pump below box oil level anyway to aid priming. Costs shouldn't be that bad. Suitable electric oil pump circa 80 quid, Setrab rad circa 60 quid, some jic fittings and hose at around 80...

You have to remember I'm a rubbish driver though so need to get with the engineering shiz just to keep up with those above - engineering my way out of a lack of talent so to speak ;) Cheers M

If it makes the back 'wobble all over the place' then its broken, you should be able to feel it working though - some people do find this a bit disconcerting, a case of having to trust the driver aid. On any of the Nismo projects I've been involved in we never removed the Hicas unless the series...

How on earth can you say that Super-Hicas is "dog turd"? Just because by design it doesn't aid driving a car sideways doesn't make it "dog turd". The electricaly actuated racks are also very light and respond just as quick as a hydraulic system without the associated losses. Cheers M

ROFL

But it's not going back on a Skyline is it Danny. 4WS is a very, very useful bit of kit to have on a car. Especialy a SWB FWD car. Cheers M

And as such has no influence on the directional stability of the car regardless. The loaded wheel will still steer as requried. If you wanted to really optimise it you'd mount the rack to the boot floor and put a pivot in the centre of the rear beam and ball joint the beam mounts to give a...

In short I'm going to make the rear wheels of the Clio deal with part of the steering effort. Here's a useful Super-Hicas diagram: Cheers M

Rear wheel steer helps initial turn in and stability. Cheers M

R33 Skyline. Cheers M
