sounds like a metamucil commercial :kiss:

thats an interesting idea actually :wave: will look into it. let me know when they do organise something for us all anyway, i'm keen for a drive up there :laugh:

No worries.

Unless SDT/Mt Cotton have changed, the requirement was always for 90db. They also allow for a 1.5dB tolerance, so you need to be 88.5dB or under.

Last time SAu Qld were there (April 2006), 2 readings were taken one at 3200rpm and the other at 4000rpm

I asked what the requirements were for noise. He answered 80db. *shrugs shoulders*

still. i think i'd be pretty screwed with the 12a then, they can be very loud :laugh:

and sif it still flows properly..... the look of burning steel wool flying outa your exhast is quite cool...

lol would look very cool actually :kiss:

whats the layout...is it the same as what you get when you do a defensive driving course their?? Theory in the morning then...lvma for braking and wet steering etc? Then like a bit of skidpan in the arvo?? Or is it Theory then all skidpan??

The silencer really reduced the performance, it had no power down low and to get it to slide I was having to dorp the clutch, Wizard? got in to see what was going on and agreed that it was the silencer, mind you it wasnt tuned for it either.

rofl that limit was funny when they ran the dutton rally at mt cotton....people with 300k ferrari's shoving steel wool and crap down their exhausts...

rofl that would have pissed them all off :laugh:

rofl that would have pissed them all off :laugh:

from memory some people refused to do it and they were still allowed on...mind you were talking a pretty major event and people with a lot of money!

cya

back already....was going to go play basketball at the uni gym..but for some reason its set up like a UN conference is about to take place...dunno must be something being held in there.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
