Day 10 and 11 of this swing. what is this weekend you speak of?

Time for booze? Or demob?

If a r35 comes can I switch to rwd and compete in that class?

I'll be on site for this, but I'll shift my roster or take holidays or something I think, call me a maybe for this.

Woo, more overtime.

Try Noel.

nah who am I kidding, every bit you can get is better. I just wish I could afford titanium everything's.

I don't need to have a "get that last 1%" track mentality on a street car either.... also, hump day!

Titanitum everything!. My build is going to be nowhere near extreme enough to warrant that unfortunately.

many moons ago actually. Probably need to go take a,look at progress since I last looked

I thought that was only nsw...

Lol, hydraulically forming the merge collecter... it was the dump pipe. The merge collected was a billet item, same as the above manifold.

So, moving to India ? Promotions on any day are usually nice. That being said i'm not sure i would want my bosses job, everyones constantly finding new ways to screw him. That is indeed a sexy manifold. And only a few hundred more than the fullrace one.

So will yours!

Might have spent 70k total on the 32 in 2-3 years time, and for that it'll have a brand new engine. Better than a flogged R35 for over 100k... Also personally I think they look crap.

but the money is good....

I wish i got public holidays. Just a constant roster out here. Though supposedly i'll be getting a day in leiu for anzac day, I'll believe it when I get my next pay slip though

Yeah, all parts are still up in the air. Wolf is only 1200 bucks for the ECU IIRC, the extra cost is for the actual in line ethanol sensor for the flex setup. But ECU is still very much up in the air. Oil pump gears might be an idea actually. Manifold for 2K is one of the sexy sexy Fullrace ones. May not end up going down that route of course, but sexy.

Though he is a member.... probably gotta get that sorted.

thread of buildingness

So I'm going to be the only white 32 there... Gulp.

I'll probably start a build thread and attach something when I get back from work tonight. Some figures are hand wavy, like head work, others are more precise. Realized when I went to bed last night that I forgot to include costs for a crank trigger, but that's what this list is for. as far as money goes, I'm not going to be doing the expensive engine work until probably the end of next year, and I'm putting away savings 2:1 to investment:car in that time, so yeah, I'd rather spend it on the car.

Car was making 285kw's on 98, so I dam well hope its making over 300 on E85... I think i'll upgrade now. I've been making up a bit of a spreadsheet of all things i want to do to the car, with prices and whatever other info I want to put in there, just so i can organise my head and jot down stuff so i don't forget it. Shits expensive. UP to 25K already.

You're quite right, you'll be getting more airflow on the open road. However, there still has to be a limit to it, although that's going to be depending on a lot of factors. ambient temp, power, how much power is being used, how often, and for how long. I honestly don't know the answer and short of sticking a temp sensor into the outlet of the cooler i'm not sure i will know. However, that being said, Sean did recommend a new cooler. And i'd like to get one now that will be good for 400kw down the road. So I dunno.

So after an evening of pondering intercooler stuffs, i think i may have figured out the "but stock gtr cooler is good for 400kw's!" thing. A few people have commented that they can't do back to back power runs on the dyno with them, so it seems like the stock one is plenty big enough of a heat sink for a little bit of a squirt, but then its way to oversaturated with heat to keep the job up afterwards. The question is, is an ARC one going to be any better (only 10mm thicker, but better fin design?) or should I go for a bigger one down the road instead of hanging out for an ARC one...
