I know who's car I would state as "best"... But not sure if they want things advertised on here...

A cat will not stop the car popping and back firing.On a dead standard brand new XR6T if you shift down a gear at the right point in the 6 Speed Autos, they will pop and back fire loudly (To the point I can make people jump on the sidewalk) And yes, it has a fully functional cat. Mufflers are what reduce the noise.

This is a GTR off the line...

Those marks look way more like defects in the pressure plate. It has been specifically rubbing at those points. Has someone machined that pressure plate previously? I've got a Jim Berry pressure plate that is totally munted from heat and ready to explode, it's got cracks EVERY WHERE through it, but doesn't have the rub marks like you have. You seriously look to have had some high spots in your pressure plate. And who ever machined it appears to have machine not just the pressure plate, but the whole damn thing... WTF?

I can't exactly remember what speed 4th gear pulls, but that RPM doesn't seem right to me. That would make 4th gear top at 195KM/H at 7000RPM...

Failbook is more like George Orwell's 1984... You will do what they say, and think what they tell you to think, or else.

I might be interested in one of those... In 6 to 9 months... If I pull my finger out and get some more funds for the car...

As mentioned about, it's for the electric fan.

The AC and all the fan shit is probably the heaviest stuff you can take out... LOL Your other major weight area is to re-wire the whole freaking car. Otherwise... Don't bother really.

I forsee Fatz filling it with oil and dirt in the not too distant future...

New Owners, New Management, same people still running the place... I think they disliked the idea of being apart of the "Western Sydney" image... LOL

You would have heard wrong then... If you cut the extractors so they sit tighter on the block, you have the drivers side one exiting smack in the middle of the steering rack. For those who've done this, or are doing this currently, they can also tell you the passenger side standard or HSV manifolds fit perfectly. Nothing off the shelf will fit, as they are designed to finish under the car, not in the engine bay...

Go and find Bezerk32 build thread. He got around it by using a non power steering VL rack. I'm getting around it in the R33 with some tricky exhaust manis and relocating the starter.

Expect to add roughly $200 on top of your $250 for an EC day that isn't packed to the rafters and getting no track time. Last time I checked, it was 3 times the price of Wakefield park. From what I've heard from others since, it has gone up a touch since then...

Brakes only slow you down... Nuff Said...

I'm currently at 2 years and 2 months...

Okay, this whole thread I've been facepalming something shocking at the stupidity... I get to this and nearly wet myself laughing... BRB, going toilet...

I think that would have him a bit too low if I'm sitting on the bar stool... Maybe just on his knees?

It's part way through being setup, Eric was the main one doing it, unfortunately he has a LOT of work on at the moment, and a lot of other projects on too. Also what Dave said is soo true. Open event early = no one taking it up. The events that seemed to fill the best were those that were opened closer to the day.

Actually... It's 335HP not well over 400HP... Have kids just started failing simple maths lately?

480RWHP XR6T and it's only running 113MPH? There is something wrong there considering a stock XR6T with the right driver can rattle a high 12 out of one... And they only make 290KW at the fly (In the FG) and less in the older models...

Sweet, I don't live on here...

How many posts I have?

I just want him for a beer...

I wasn't making an issue of this, I was clearly pointing out that people need to be aware of how road noise tests are conducted are VERY different to EPA (At Events like this) and Race Track noise levels. Maybe we should stop educating people because facts might scare them... What do you think? As you had noted, the DBA meter is a fair distance from the gate, so it should be a non issue.
