Destructive testing definitely has it's place, but when you model something in FEA you have the opportunity to really control the variables involved in the whole simulation process. For example, you could develop a 5 point test and test 5 different parameters of each rod and how the two samples respond to stresses etc etc, but your are able to do this in a fully controlled computer environment. Now sure, simulation has it's flaws but it is massively widespread in engineering these days and is always going to be better then "My H beam rod can take 1337 more kebabs of power then your I beams bro, because they have extra tabouli"

I need to get two affidavits signed by a JP, do I have to write them in their presence or can I simply take them written and signed into a JP and get it done that way ?

I think alot of people will be surprised to find that due to the enormous scrutiny placed upon the emissions of vehicles today that alot of the great engines being designed currently are being strangled and held back from completely realising the potential that knew technologies can afford. In contrast, we must also note that 99.99% of all technology used in ICE's currently and in the future was and has been developed 50+ years ago and not primarily in the automotive sector.... I'll also add that there is actually no black magic with how various heads perform, in the end it all comes down to how big your holes are and the various architectural geometries of the valve train. PSS. We all know that the ultimate combo for the JZ engines is to have a 1J head on a 2j bottom end this sort of disproves the notion that the JZ engine is the be all and end all of I6's, and for comparisons people should really be looking at output/displacement which is where you start to see alot of the bigger engines (BARRA etc) fall down in comparison. Anyone can make more power given an infinite supply of cubic displacement but that's not how it rolls in the real world peeps

Out for tonight, GT-R steering wheel being a hommus

What we need to do is to put them into ANSYS for a nice FEA bashing so people can stop crying the tears of a small mexican child over which section is better.

That's the idea ! FRP is even lighter then the usual polymers so go for it ! win win really.

If you're smart about the design of a enclosed pod box like Beer Baron has just explained, you could probably create something substantially more effective then stuff you can buy over the shelf. Stay away from using metals, use Lexan instead, properly shield pods in the enclosure so that the there is an air tight seal between the hot and cold air. After this it is all about preventing or retarding the "heatsoak" and further ensuring that the enclosed area has large and dependable feeds for cool ambient air.

True men don't kill coyotes and they certainly don't put RB25's in R32's !

4 is the best by far, and yes 5 is a crime against nature.

they N1 or Normal turbos ?

My car has not alot of sound deadening in it and it is very loud so I'm not sure uber good stuff will make a difference, I thought 750 for 4 speakers and a Sub was ok, should I spend more ? Does it depend on what I listen to ?

Are you saying you cant find a place to buy a Power FC ?....

How do people usually get their cars off the ground for this sort of exercise, hoist job ?

Oh Lawds....

That would be great mate, your a legend ! and Matty, I Will email you tonight, Cheers guys.

Were they dressed as RX3's ?

True that, Got R33 N1's on my now old dinosaur things making 330kw, looking forward to better response plus lots more power

Probs going to head to BNR meet on thurs even though GT-R is sick.

Ok Guys, I've set aside $750 to outfit my GT-R as it currently doesn't have a system. Would like a Sub and four speakers to fit completely within the factory apertures plus all the other odds and ends you usually need. Currently Have a clarion amp and a headunit so they are not included in the pricing, nor is labor. Who can spec up a decent system for that ?

Lol, also keen to find out where to get the intercooler shroud BB, unless your willing to part with one of yours

Hey man, thanks for the response, reckon you could hook me up with a front bar ? Yeah I thought the skirts might be a bit expensive so Ill have a look at someone like bodyform and see what they can do.

dude im buying them lol.

But as I said, Ecnomically. QR probably cost a a packet of chips $2.0 and a handjob to build.

anyone wanna sell their factory airboxes ?

Thats cool mang, wtf happened though did someone vandalise it ?
