    Do-Luck

    I believe Powerplay Imports in Drummoyne can get Do-Luck stuff in on request and pre-payment.
  2. Firstly. I chose 180rwkw as an arbitrary figure, because that is the accepted maximum the standard turbo will support, which is what you were referring to in your first post. I agree that it really isn't that much. My argument still stands completely even if you're not talking about peak power. Say you make 180rwkw peak... at 5000rpm, you might make 140rwkw (another arbitrary figure), but if you floored it at 5000rpm, you will break traction. Your solution of backing off throttle will effectively only use 100rwkw of that power... It doesn't matter whether we're talking about peak power or low range power. The fact of the matter is, if you have to back off power at *ANY* point in your rev range in order to save breaking the rear end loose, you have traction problems. It may be because of crap tyres, too firm suspension or any other host of problems. The fact of the matter is if you can't put down 100% throttle, 100% of the time, you have traction problems.
  3. Yang is a friend of mine. He's not dodgy. He used to own a BMW, but now has an R33 GTR. He's posting this for one of his friends off the DTM Forums. Joe, I know you mean well dude. I know we should all be more diligent with For Sale Threads after the recent spate of dodgy habibs out there Anyway, End of discussion.
  4. I hear what you're saying, but you explain the problem yourself... When people complain that they don't have traction, they usually mean that they can't go WOT without losing grip. Sure, you can modulate the throttle, and you won't break traction, but then you're not using all your power... So effectively if you've got a 180rwkw car, but have to feather the throttle in order to keep traction, YOU HAVE TRACTION PROBLEMS. Your solution to the traction problem is to use only 150rwkw of that power, which quite frankly is a crap method of dealing with your lack of grip. Go and put 265 Dunlop D01Js on the rear, and you'll be able to put maybe 170rwkw of that power down... Doesn't that mean then that you had traction problems when you could only put 150rwkw of power down? Yes.... Yes it does.
  5. Call my mobile... It's easier to talk to you that way... There's lots to explain, and no time to do it over email/SAU Mobs: 0418881113

  8. editted because it was not neccasary. - PranK
  9. In NSW, as long as you have breasts, you don't get carded. For confirmation, see MissS13's post in General about Mobile Phone while driving Andrew. :uh-huh:
  10. I ain't going anywhere near Brighton/La Perouse/South with a big group of cars... It's just asking for trouble... I'm going to have to put my vote in for a drive up to the Northern Beaches instead... Andrew. :uh-huh:
  11. DAMMIT I'll have to check with my parents... I was sure mainan meant slow... Like in mainan 200sx :shake: Andrew. :uh-huh:
  12. Mainan means "Slow" in Indonesian... How do I know? Because I'm half Indonesian and was born there :wavey: Great plates I reckon... Pity only boat people will understand them... :woofy: Andrew. :uh-huh:
  13. Mine came in a long black vinyl pouch that was lying beside the spare wheel... Inside the pouch were three things: 1x Wheel nut lever 1x Lever for jack 1x Wheel chock for when jacking car up Andrew. :uh-huh:
  14. Jesus. I only just read this thread cos I was wondering why it was so long for just an OPH run All I can say is: 1. You guys should have slowed down after the first spin. 2. You are *[insert bad word]* lucky there wasn't anyone else coming in the other direction when you spun out. 3. If you are able to spin out, you are either very unlucky (oil spot, avoiding an animal) or you were simply pushing WAY too hard for your abilities and your car's abilities. I can take a guess on which one was the cause I agree with red900ss 100% take it off the roads, and take it to the track. If you spin out on the OPH or Nasho, you're ****ing stupid to be pushing that hard on public roads without the ability to back it up. That's what the track is for. Andrew. :uh-huh: edited by PranK
  15. Mixture of bad luck and bad driving I reckon Kris Krash... ROFL... Almost Kris Kross Andrew. :uh-huh:
  16. How we use Channel 33, and you can use Channel 32? We'll see who has more people on which channel BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Andrew. :shake:
  17. I don't think there is any difference... Unless you get the PowerFC SPL, which allows you to run a MAP sensor instead of an AFM... I didn't even think the casings were different... I've owned both a new model and a now the older model, and functionally they're exactly the same, and as far as I could tell, looked exactly the same also... Get an AVC-R for boost control.. They use the same solenoids between the PowerFC Boost Control and the AVC-R, but apparently the AVC-R has more advanced fuzzy logic in controlling the solenoid and therefore boost response/characteristics. Andrew. :uh-huh:
  18. Hey Mona It's Andrew... Looks like you found a nice R33 afterall Now you can remove my car from your desktop and replace it with your very own!!! Hope you come out cruising with us soon!!! Don't listen too much to Frankie... he's blinded by the shiny yellow dildo he's got coming It's affected his brain :shake: Andrew. :uh-huh:
  19. Putting up with customer's "demands" is your ****ing job. What's so inordinate about a customer demanding the goods he paid for 3 weeks prior? :talk2hand: If you think that is too much to ask, I think you should find another line of work, such as garbage disposal. Rotten cat food won't demand much of you at all. HAHAHAHA... You don't know me at all. I am MORE than willing to take this up in person if you feel the need. Calling me a keyboard warrior :type: is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. :lol: :lol: :lol: In any case, what the hell are you going on about me not putting my money where my mouth is? You expect me to purchase an AVC-R off you? What the ****? Are you crazy? HAHAHAHAHA... Just stop it, before you make yourself seem like even more of a chump. I will purchase my First Aid Kit directly from Ray (Sadistic Rage) thank you very much. He seems like a decent and honest bloke, not blaming others for their own failures... I hear he's terminated his business ties with you because of your amatureish demeanour... "As I indicated in my earlier email, my relationship with Matt as a supplier will be terminated. I simply cannot afford to outlay tens of thousands of dollars importing parts in order to see them sold and distributed in such an amateurish way." :tomato: Nice work. If you want to talk to me, you can call me. I'm not ringing New Zealand to talk to a loser. :looney: PM me for my number. Andrew. :uh-huh:
  20. The only time I goto Canberra is when I pass through to goto the snows :shake: ............ or when gfs want to go see the dumb art exhibitions and floriade crap
  21. Same here... My photos were taken at 1600x1200 also, I've already had a few request for the full res photos, but for those who don't know, high res photos are available.... Andrew. :uh-huh:
  22. Bah... I wouldn't be caught dead wearing some stupid headphones like a telemarketer whilst I'm cruising... Handheld Uniden suits me fine Andrew. :uh-huh:
  23. Yeah, sorry for not saying goodbye everyone... Kabab and I were going to follow Shell back out to the Hume Hwy so we didn't get lost... Suddenly she just up and left, so we had to quickly reverse, spin the cars around and chase after her!!!! Ended up doing some crazy speeds along that windy, hilly road catching her Was good fun... I thought everyone was leaving anyway... I wouldn't have wanted to leave any later, I has effectively no sleep last night, and I was dead tired... Probably why I was walking around like a zombie today hahahahaha... Andrew. :uh-huh:
  24. Excellent day had by all I think... I sure had a great time... A few things of note: 1. Thanks heaps to Shell for organising it and providing food for the masses. 2. Thanks heaps to NDR for bringing the hotplate and a photo of Monty. 3. Kangaroo Valley is VERY VERY VERY far away. 4. I'm dead tired. 5. I'm the first to put up photos from the day http://www.andrewho.com/photos/kangaroo Andrew. :uh-huh:
