Hi all. Couldn't find a specific intro thread, so I thought I may as well post here.
Just signed up, and just bought a 83 KE70 to be used as a track car (grip + fun) with the emphasis on fun because I doubt I could be in any way competitive :p . Have been a fairly long term member of skylines australia. Sold the R33 a little while back.
I am a big fan of doing things properly, so while it currently has the 4A-C and 5 speed I am hunting down a 4AGE which will cop a full rebuild with a lightened forged and balanced bottom end and twin 45mm Weber DCOE's. That is unless I track down a 20V nice and cheap.
Suspension wise I will either make the conversion over to coilovers or possibly bugger around trying to get the most out of whats there - budget dependant. At the moment it is too low and the suspension is too hard - especially in the rear. I will fix that though.
I will show up to any track event as long as some other members are going to make a showing. Even if it means running with the 4AC.
The car itself is a plain old KE70 with superlites, auto to manual coversion with the auto diff, and a nardi steering wheel:

Will be getting the stripped interior treatment very soon, T18 chrome bumpers and a few other little bits and pieces I have had tucked away for a while.
