how is the weather looking? the smh rain forecast shows low or medium chance of rain on EVERY SINGLE day thru the rest of this month .. any weather geeks got a better view?

you're talking about a sequential setup, which is used by RX7 and Supras.. supposedly it is complex and prone to problems and issues to do with the cut-over from the smaller to larger turbo, but is clearly going to be a superior system to a single or a twin if it works smoothly. for rb26 being a straight six, you've got 3 cylinders pumping one turbo and 3 cylinders pumping the other. There is no plumbing or off the shelf parts for sequential, the system a controlling ECU would have to be created off a drawing board. If you stuck a smaller turbo on one half of the engine and a larger one on the other then the larger one would never get into its efficiency range, and the smaller one would be overwhelmed before redline. The end result - even if the two turbos were only slightly different - would be inferior to twins of the same size.

I think this is more impressive, under the circumstances (fleeing from the law, who have guns..)

not quite, san is an honorific. So basically, Mr. (or Mrs, or Miss). -Kun is mainly for male kids, but can also be used by bosses to refer to juniors in the office, to remind them they are pond scum. -Chan is kind of like -Kun but mainly used by or towards females, or between friends/lovers etc. It is all quite complicated, there are more as well, and you could have used google: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_titles but basically if you deal with Japanese over commerce, all you're gonna hear is -san unless you've upset them or go drinking with them (more than once).

all this hinting is ridiculous imagine a forum devoted to broadband ISPs where you had to type "watch out! don't get it from the company whose name is reminiscent of a goldfish bowl, they don't deliver that speed. PM me for details"..

I think you have a shot at the letters page of penthouse.

I take it back. It is back to 'dog slow' again. @ 10am - very zippy @ 6pm (and most other times) - slow as molasses

I don't know what changed, but loading topics is fast now. I hope it stays that way. No appreciable delay during painting of headers, before the topic appears.

great brochure. I am concerned nobody will have a chance at winning those award categories so, can we add.. "Information Overload" awarded to the cockpit that looks most like a flight deck "Auto Wash King" awarded to the car with the most visible cobweb scratching "Pimpin aint easy" awarded to anything with 20" wheels, spinners, etc "Bozozuko master" awarded to anything, well, Bozozuko "Most incomprehensible ICE" awarded to the car with the most original JDM navi and stereo trinkets with no english language modes "Least Likely To Idle" awarded to the car with the least stable idle "Petroleum Liberation" awarded to the car pumping the most unburned fuel out the tail pipe (judged by number of seconds required to create actual tears) "Defect King" awarded, by someone in cop fancy dress, to the car with the most clearly visible/audible defectable items This way I feel that most attendees will believe they have a shot at at least one award on the day

http://www.beyondthedyno.com/Blogs/Eric/?p=1394 He doesn't get mentioned much on SAU but if you can find someone else seems as smart about RB26s and also blogs in detail, then I'm all ears. His new R32 build appears to be for pretty much the ideal all rounder. His parts list is interesting, in particular, why buy two sets of AFMs, and why go 1000cc injectors when his aim is for ... "Goal = 500hp at the wheels street/track ass kicker with power band from hell" maybe the 1000cc's are for his future 2.9L build and so are the 80mm AFMs? I'm interested in the justifications for his suspension mods. Part 2 promises to justify every part.

yeah, I wondered if anyone knew. And his left leg appears to be operating a clutch.

judging from the comments, he probably wishes he never posted it. He should have put at least one picture of the accident scene. No friend with even a shitty cellphone camera to record it for future negotiations with the drift driver?

I pressed reload on this topic after you posted your reply. The screen went white immediately, but it took 12 seconds until the loading indicator stopped. At about second 8 or so, the bulk of the page _after_ the "> skylines australia" navigation strip had appeared to start reading and scrolling, so I'm not fussed about the last 4 seconds but the first 7 seconds is the first block, the second block, the logged in block and the navigation block all painfully loading then appearing... one by one... I'm on an mac with latest firefox and adsl2. Another forum I use also located in the states, actually a bit further away (in new jersey) takes just 2 seconds to display a topic that is longer than a page. It doesn't use any third party ad components, so that helps, but just pointing that it isn't purely a function of 220ms latency. It can be 2 or 3 seconds, 24 hours 7 days, when tuned right. I believe yahoo has an excellent tool for analyzing page delay, called YSlow, part of firebug which is the firefox developer free addon. You can load it up, and load a page and it'll show you where the biggest time consumers are and give tips. You can also use the basic one built into firebug that shows all the latencies and delays of each bit of the page.. I reckon half the delay is the result of third party ad services that are inefficient (not like google adsense which is very efficient) and half is what seems like a slow host. Considering just how mega powerful an average data center rent-a-box can be now, there isn't much excuse for that.. if you are paying $1000/mo you can get a box that includes more cpu and memory than you can use.. you can for nothing install the best php accelerator, if thats the problem.. if it is database, it can be tuned to be instant.. (they are often not, out of the box). anyway without testing more deeply, these are guesses only. But if I were your SA I'd be trying to aim for a faster page load. And this is nothing to do with the problem that led the topic: obviously adyieldmanager isn't even near 100% reliable and does block rendering perhaps because the html requires its javascript to be remotely loaded right up front.. (a common problem with services like that).

I sometimes have the same issue, it shouldn't matter, ad providers are sometimes down, or slow, or unreachable, _except_ it blocks the page rendering! Also, and off this topic, it takes 8 seconds to fully render an average topic, 7 of those are waiting and loading the first and second and third rows.. before getting to any meat you want to read.. most of this seems like CPU overload, but it doesn't help much that, for me, the site is a full 27 hops away.. a ridiculous trip from telstra thru to LA, down the coast, across the states, before ending up in detroit! and about as awful a ping time as you can imagine, 220ms Are hosting fees in australia still so out of wack that it must be hosted on the other side of the world? Japan would probably be as cheap.. but half the ping.. and closer to the heartland of rb26 than detroit, haha. & if you hosted locally you'd double page views per day, because we'd all spend our allocated SAU time reading twice as much, and over the long term, increase membership as well.. 2 172.18.113.141 (172.18.113.141) 9.265 ms 7.703 ms 7.292 ms 3 172.18.66.150 (172.18.66.150) 7.254 ms 7.048 ms 7.221 ms 4 172.18.239.161 (172.18.239.161) 7.391 ms 7.428 ms 7.692 ms 5 tengigabitethernet4-2.chw45.sydney.telstra.net (203.45.3.37) 6.859 ms 7.128 ms 7.471 ms 6 tengige0-1-0-0.chw-core2.sydney.telstra.net (203.50.20.129) 7.220 ms 7.024 ms 7.215 ms 7 bundle-ether1.oxf-gw2.sydney.telstra.net (203.50.6.90) 7.458 ms 7.099 ms 7.093 ms 8 tengigabitethernetx-0.syd-core04.sydney.reach.com (203.50.13.18) 7.265 ms 7.275 ms 7.679 ms 9 i-4-1.sydp-core02.net.reach.com (202.84.144.249) 10.815 ms 7.958 ms 7.850 ms 10 i-0-0.wil-core02.net.reach.com (202.84.144.101) 189.240 ms 189.576 ms 189.582 ms 11 i-7-8.tlot03.net.reach.com (202.84.251.238) 151.368 ms 152.728 ms 151.792 ms 12 level3.tlot03.net.reach.com (134.159.63.30) 190.326 ms ge-6-21.car3.losangeles1.level3.net (4.68.111.137) 189.740 ms ge-6-20.car3.losangeles1.level3.net (4.68.111.133) 191.287 ms 13 vlan89.csw3.losangeles1.level3.net (4.68.20.190) 191.405 ms 190.105 ms 198.691 ms 14 ae-83-83.ebr3.losangeles1.level3.net (4.69.137.41) 195.792 ms 191.793 ms 198.217 ms 15 ae-2.ebr3.sanjose1.level3.net (4.69.132.9) 197.714 ms 207.101 ms 199.445 ms 16 ae-73-73.csw2.sanjose1.level3.net (4.69.134.230) 208.788 ms 198.976 ms 198.203 ms 17 ae-72-72.ebr2.sanjose1.level3.net (4.69.134.213) 160.760 ms 171.906 ms 161.640 ms 18 ae-3.ebr1.denver1.level3.net (4.69.132.58) 235.646 ms 227.547 ms 234.647 ms 19 ae-1-100.ebr2.denver1.level3.net (4.69.132.38) 228.585 ms 228.271 ms 234.139 ms 20 ae-3.ebr1.chicago2.level3.net (4.69.132.62) 258.012 ms 246.968 ms 247.146 ms 21 ae-6.ebr1.chicago1.level3.net (4.69.140.189) 247.789 ms ae-1-100.ebr2.chicago2.level3.net (4.69.132.114) 248.378 ms ae-6.ebr1.chicago1.level3.net (4.69.140.189) 247.606 ms 22 ae-5.ebr2.chicago1.level3.net (4.69.140.193) 255.883 ms 247.559 ms 251.463 ms 23 ae-8-8.car1.detroit1.level3.net (4.69.133.241) 253.563 ms 256.157 ms 252.912 ms 24 ae-11-11.car2.detroit1.level3.net (4.69.133.246) 215.656 ms 216.143 ms 216.210 ms 25 4.53.74.58 (4.53.74.58) 254.588 ms 254.412 ms 253.918 ms 26 208.86.248.2 (208.86.248.2) 256.133 ms 253.974 ms 254.540 ms 27 rb26.skylinesaustralia.com (208.69.126.31) 216.143 ms 216.245 ms 216.717 ms

Dumb question, because I know nothing, but why put so much white paint on the interior? isn't the objective to be as light as possible? all that gloss must add up to quite a number of extra kgs? (awesome build and it is going so fast I can't believe it. Normally these topics seem to meander through months and beyond)..

my r34 with R1s (N1s afaik) made 289kw on a mainline dyno at 19psi without cat, and 279 awkw on croydon with the cat. With a tune and cam gears, it filled the 555cc injectors at stock rail pressure, so the fun stopped at 5000rpm. (stock fuel pump). I think over 300 would be achievable with N1s and this matches what jim at croydon said: a nur he had through did that with pfc, better exhaust and intake. Over the weekend we put on 2530kais & 700cc, and this week some time, they're gonna get back to me with a new dyno graph. I'll post up all in a different topic if anyone is interested. (I'm hoping to get all this crap done in time for the anniversary cruise).

there is a lot of loud haters for these tesla models I see commenting whenever a US web page has an article about them, I think that they are now priced very high makes some people get confused about elitism etc. But to get cheap, they have to start expensive as they build production. It is just economics. Look at the PS2 price, for example, from launch to now. The other thing nobody believes is how low maintenance they are. Batteries will fail in a year, that kind of rubbish. Prius proves the battery pack when recharging is managed by a computer can last 10 years or more of normal use. The last point is that an amazing amount of weight and servicing fuss goes away when everything is electric. No fluids, tanks, seals, no heat cycle driven degradation, no mess from oils and vapors. The service places for tesla vehicles are very small, largely just a computer on a crash cart and a clean floor.. It would be nice if australia stopped burning coal to get electric power, but even, even worst case, CO2 output is less per km than nearly all cars. If I were in the states I'd be on the waiting list for this car, even with all the other exciting choices at $50k. It is just unique and exciting. Not for everyone, for sure, but every year the target market gets larger.

so @ what RPM do they hit 1bar in 4th? why not fit a metalcat?

"work of art" low mount steam pipe manifolds for low mount, equal length runners. purchased for over $1200 with the ceramic coating.. they position the turbos slightly differently so you will need to compensate for that vs stock on the turbo intake side. I can't use em due to the delay in getting them. $600

thanks, well, I guess I'll upgrade when it wears down too much. I was told that almost all suitable clutches are like this, except for one expensive HKS model which doesn't rattle. but it is good to know the current coppermix twin is better than the old g-max twins.

Location: Sydney Price: $380 plus shipping costs if any (pickup would be cool) Reason for sale: I bought on a whim, second-hand, and have not used it money back guarantee.

you guys are going about this all the wrong way..

well that's your/their trouble, trying to mix itunes and windows.. if someone can effectively use a windows mobile based device, or a blackberry based device, they can use more of what an iphone offers, and if they have a mac then itunes is well integrated, and so is the iphone. your 28yo or 30yo perhaps shouldn't have any smartphone, just like my parents. Give them a nokia with big buttons and an easy to read display, and be satisfied if they learn to read and respond to an SMS after a year of explanations.
