  1. Oh? oh well, was keen for tonight but next week works just fine. Probably be raining though knowing my luck.
  2. Who says you need a working car to go to ze german club? i had an epic half hour trek to get to it last time Anyway, why get a pair of SSD's? A single OCZ vertex3 and a motherboard with 6GBPs sata ports would be faster.
  3. Keen for german club on the 28th. If i remember it that is
  4. I get the impression that if you had a blown headgasket you'd know about it. Leaky blow off valve maybe? mine was, to the best of my knowledge (in so much that blocking it off seemed to fix things)
  5. If you know someone who lives in the UK, couldn't you get them to import it (as they already have skylines over there), would be easier than trying to get it on the road in Germany. After that, as far as im aware, you can take a car across from the UK on a ferry into the EU.
  6. more of a "happy new years/valentines, take me now, no time to bother with anything! *9 months later* well shit"
  7. May be hard to find a good r32, but they do exist, so its a bit unfair to compare a hypothetically worn car.
  8. Its birthday time of the year this year... now and november didn't it do that last month too?
  9. WTB: a decent frigging immune system. eyes watering, nose is running like a tap Showing up for ikes cream doesn't mean showing up for it in a skyline... Or you could just rock up in your thing anyway.
  10. My point more was that over the last 20 years we've been mainly focusing on changing combustion to reduce the amount of bad shit, like oxides of nitrogen, that are produced during combustion, which doesn't really add anything to the power produced by the engine as such. I mean any workship can take a rb26 upto 4-500kw with the right boltons, but that doesn't mean nissan can (or could) due to the fact that it blows the emissions testing out of the window. edit: at least that's my impression anyway. with regards to the motorcycle engines, guy next door's kid has one of the new ones, i think they're rebuilding it after less than a year of semi regular weekend only use...
  11. Your just doing the work twice with that setup aren't you? i mean the piston itself pushing up on the exhaust stroke is just a big pump pumping the gasses out of the chamber.
  12. probably 1500hp. Engines have come a long way, but not all the tech is directed to pure power. not to mention there's a set limit to what you can physically get out of air and fuel forced into a combustion chamber.
  13. I was basing that off some quad rotor 2.6 engine (eg half the specified engine for this supercar) that made 1300hp on a flywheel dyno. I mean sure flames were shooting out of the manifold, hence the reliability issues, but it made that power...
  14. Well, with 2000Kw's it'd probably have the power to hit 500 if its similar in size shape and drag to the veyron that can do 400 with ~1000hp. 2000kw's out of the proposed engine isn't that unimaginable, though reliability would be an issue. I think the biggest problem would be making sure that at 500km.h the car just doesn't flip out and explode.
  15. Yeah, there's some roadworks goign on in that area right now but they're off to the otherside, working on the old part of the road. That or maybe up the back near the tv studioes, there might be a good spot there. You could try mt gravatt, though there's no real good angles that I can think of.
  16. Grrr assignments. If i get it done intime i can hand it in tonight. then ice cream victory celebrations!
  17. You porked some brembo's? i mean sure they're nice breaks but... i'm not sure i'd go there
  18. You need to find a way to crosstrain then. add resistance to the steering wheel and turn power steering off, or something
  19. You got home before me. Dam public transport. that being said, it did get me home in the end...
  20. f**k translink, Bihourly (as in, once every two hours) local services to the gabba. Going to have to walk it to the busway.
