  1. ...and then hired Ralf?!?! Go figure. That's like hiring Angelina Jolie's brother as a grid girl.
  2. Also have several fuel regs in Sydney willing to ship.
  3. When you say near, do you mean in front of SebVet? That went so well for both of them last year.
  4. 250rwkw @ 17psi from memory. I can't find the dyno print for love or money.
  5. On an RB25 I had all the boost in at 3100-3150 with a GT-RS so it does look a little late even for an RB20.
  6. Mmm this reminds me of a joke. Spiro was muttering to himself.... "George...George had to build 100 houses before he was known as George the house builder. " "Jimmy....Jimmy had to build 100 boats before he was known as Jimmy the boat builder. " "But you F*ck just one goat....."
  7. This can all be found with a search. Keep in mind there can be issues fitting any aftermarket part. Some aftermarket dump/front pipes are direct fit some need modifications. JustJap should have sorted out the issues that many of us had years ago but there are no guarantees. The split dumps may fowl the wastegate flap and in my experience make slightly less power so buy a good bellmouth with a large area for expansion of exhaust gasses.
  8. Link to thread mentioned earlier. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/357966-fix-that-leak/page__p__5720783__hl__%2Bwiper+%2Bleak__fromsearch__1#entry5720783 As an aside, if there is water on the passenger side only you can bet on it being a heater core leak.
  9. Go for a bellmouth dump. There is no chance the wastegate will foul on them and they will probably make a whisker more power.
  10. JustJap ship quickly, have a full range of hubcentric spacers and are a forum sponsor.
  11. Do you know what the spring rate is on the new springs? If you know what they are we might be able to give you an idea but I suspect that Bilsteins with stock springs or BC's would be the go from here whatever works out the best value for you.
  12. 4.5L in the sump, turn it over and bob's your uncle. (you never know someone might actually do it being school holidays)
  13. Stock springs with Bilstein shocks and extra circlip grooves machined for height adjustability.
  14. There are a few hardcore fanboi's at that forum so no wonder hrd has a hater boner towards any positive comments.
  15. Everyone will try to go out and qualify in position 18 as it gives such a huge advantage and avoid Q3.
  16. Ink that....
  17. Technically he did get past him in an era where it was hard to overtake.
  18. I remember SV losing KERS for his later stint.
  19. Actually he didn't have KERS at all but keep selectively leaving out facts to support your case if you have to. I like MW just fine, he is hardly the second coming of christ and he is hardly the worst driver in the field. He has worked his arse off, he has also had lots of luck, he has also had lots of bad luck, he had a charmed existence in Australia in karting days to get him to Europe ahead of more talented karters (at that stage) due to support from his family. He has been hamstrung by his frame as well. There are no prizes for guessing that F1 does not attract the best drivers in the world, it attracts the best, richest, midgets. All get there due to support from somewhere, rarely is it on talent alone. The last race worked out despite the poor qualifying, nothing more nothing less. Good on him for getting a good result out of a bad position. It seems for MW he is damned if he does well, he is damned if he doesn't.
  20. Anyone else think Nando just kept hitting button until it opened the flap? It is a bizarre explanation that DRS opened after the corner. This seems to suggest that it closed for the turn and magically re-opened for the next. Unlikely he ran with it open into the turn at the end of the straight.
  21. The power difference is two parts of bugger all once you strap some performance mods on until you reach a point where hydraulic lifters are the weak link. The real advantage of the series 2 (assuming a 260RS is out of the price equation) is the standard manual transmission on RS4S (same running gear as 260RS, gearbox etc), aftermarket ECU choice is so much easier ie. Nistune, PowerFC etc etc but all the other fun aftermarket modifications are available with a whole lot less stuffing around.
