I watched on my phone YouTube app. But search car sos skyline sensation in YouTube and it'll come up

Just watched this on YouTube, good episode.

Hmmm because vsi8 refer to vs28 and state is superseded but cages being it's requirements are accepted

Apparently you don't need an engineers for a full cage if it meets VSI28. Check page 3 of it top right corner

I've recently read up on this and from what I can tell, it's easier to engineer a cage, can run wider wheels and talker tires than regular reg, fuel system upgrades fine as long as no in cabin components, brakes upgrades allowable, engine swaps from same manufacturer ok (without a vass I believe but might be wrong), power increase of 30% allowed unsure how a cop can tell how much power over standard it has :s. I read this a but over a month ago so don't take it as gospel . All the VSI documents are online and you'll find you end up with 3/4 open as they refer back to each other and certain sections. See here https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safety-and-road-rules/vehicle-safety/vehicle-standards-information See mainly 33 ,26, and 8

Don't be tight, rip up the concrete and install heater tubes in it

Yea it's something I'm going to look into possibly even raising the actual pivot point (might require custom boot) an inch or so to allow the ratio of top shaft to bottom shaft to be better whilst also slightly extending the bottom one to further shorten the throw.

Unfortunately and strangely enough TWM customer service don't know how much of their throw reductio.on if from shortening the upper section and how much is from extending the bottom. I found this weird, if its reduced by 15-20% from the pivot point changes then it would be perfect but if the reduced throw Is mainly from the shortening of the upper section the gains made would be lost anyway, though still better than extending a stock one.

But how far could the lower "rod" be extended befor. Causing issues or not being able to be installed? If the throw could stay stock or less and have the shifter say 5+ inches higher than stock would be great for circuit

Any reason this couldn't be done on a 32 gtr? http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123679397-Extended-Shifter-Project He has slightly shortened the throw ratio whilst still extending the height to allow it to sit closer to the wheel.

Where can I but assetto corsa? What's TS sorry

Sorry to hijack but I see allot of rivnut gun talk in here what would be the most common uses for then?

Found this very unique http://www.build-threads.com/build-threads/rb26-alfa-romeo-147/

Check it's available in Australia as some are but live tracking ect doesn't work as it's not set up in Australia yet

I can't even find where to but assetto corsa such a retard. If I find it how do I get to use the tracks and cars you or others make?

Because although it meets European standards which are more strict than here Australia doesn't recognize it and we are too small a market for recaro to go through testing. It's stupid.

I just found this, I wonder if mahle are the same as cosworth material composition. I believe all CP pistons are made from 2618 alloy and Cosworth's Subaru pistons from 4032. 4032 is a high silicon alloy and the high silicon content provides a more durable wear surface and reduced expansion rate. 2618 is a denser alloy with higher tensile strength and a higher heat transfer rate. 4032 is a better option for a street application where low wear, long life, and reduced noise is of primary importance. 2618 is a better option for a race-specific application between the piston crown will run a little cooler and the piston will withstand detonation a little bit better than 4032. But the piston has less wear resistance and actually less stiffness. However, Cosworth pistons use a boxed bridge design developed in F1. If you look at the back of the piston the pin bosses are reinforced with additional cross-struts and the pin itself is quite short. The bending loads on the pin bosses are reduced and overall the piston, skirt, and crown have greater rigidity. I don't think the Cosworth piston gives up anything in terms of overall strength compared to CP. Cosworth pistons use a pin offset for reduced piston slap noise. CP pistons have no pin offset which is why they are not directional. Another reason for a very low noise level from Cosworth pistons. Cosworth pistons have a polished crown which supposedly reduces carbon build up over time....probably another plus for a street application.

Sounds good

So essentially this will come in around $20,000 all said and done sake price as Tomei engine but with 800 more cc

I don't expect a definitive answer more pouring out there for discussion. There may be something someone knows that others don't. So on that what do you use and like Ben ?

What's a rough figure on rotating assembly ?

So in the world of pistons and rods which is best? Ross, CP, Arias, JE, Wiseco...ect ect Does one of then use a better metal compound? Better customer service? Obviously they ask have different levels of product but talking top, of the shelf , available ranges.

Once you receive the new clutch will you be re tuning it or should it still be fine given the last was slipping? Or just doing a power run to see numbers and confirm all is fine? And what is the price on rotating assembly for this being it's a custom crank?

Never mind found it so a 90x90 bore x stroke having then squared is meant to be ideal isn't it? So this is gold

I may have missed it but are you running a custom crank and what stroke are you aiming for
