Not accurate info. But I thought I had read the DQ250 in a R36 was the shortest ratio available.
So two possibilities.

2. Yours had already had another gearbox and now...

Actual use of the car update!
Got along to Heathcote yesterday for some testing/practice in preparation for the upcoming Jamboree.
Aim of the day to was to do 5x passes, all with sub .100 RT’s...
Nothing to exciting happening progress wise.
But changed the oil, nut and bolt checked the car and pushed it out for a bit of a wash. First time the oil has been changed in 3 years. First wash in...

Been pretty unmotivated the last few months, cold and dark, rather be doing other things on weekends, until recently!
Had a pretty big push the last two weekends getting stuff done. Not a heap to...
Sounds like the crank angle sensor is on the way out.
Next time it doesn’t start, reach in and give the harness a wiggle.

Next parts finally all together to install. Been a long time coming for this upgrade.
Two piece rotors and 4 piston wilwoods.
Bit of a faff to get them on, calipers needed spacing outward so...
Hi there,
As you’ve already pointed out, there’s not much to be had from a tune. You’d be better off spending your money on a carbon clean as these engines came up pretty well.
Next to that...
Yeah, not impressed! I have upper door latches in and all.
Going to try some magnets on the latch to see if that helps.

Cheers woody!
Comparison of runs. Could have been 11.4X on the day with better driving.
Keen to get back soon to improve!

Finally got back out in the MK3, In between busy weekends/track closures/weather.
No scales at the new local track. But should be around 800kg.
Need to start driving it more to get used to...

Been a semi quiet few months. I moved pretty far away so was only able to pack bare essentials. MK3 being one of them.
Shortened the rear beam, added some gussets and had it powdercoated.

Another long time dream came true. To have composite panels.
Fit up is pretty damn good. Definitely needs some body work before paint too. But one day in 10 years time perhaps.
So we’ve got,...
Without knowing anything about paint.
Something to do with paint not curing and moisture getting underneath?

And after putting it off for ages. Finally got back to the track today to make some passes.
First pass ended up being the best.

It’s 500cca, so 1.5x more CCA than the old battery that I’ve used in a variety of daily’s for the last 5 or so years.
It is a lithium battery, not sure how it would compare to AGM or lead-acid...
Another day, another bunch of jobs ticked off the list.
New battery mount to suit the new lithium battery. Total weight of the new setup 1.5kg vs the previous setup of 10.2kg
