Oh that is strange. Yes perhaps ceramic + 4wd aren't suited.

The ACS guy said they have been getting the same problems with hi-po WRXs, so they fitted Kevlars in them and they have been good for going on 8 months now... Now they're trying Skylines. Seems promising.

Sorry! Didn't think my little clutch story deserved its own thread.

Welcome and chat away :blink:

mine lasted over a year of everyday driving and launching few times a week

mines made a little more than when yours was stock slimjim if i remeber correctly you made 172RWKW and i was making 177 i think im making a little more now will find out 26th of may @ PGA's dyno day but will be an AWKW reading

Yeah mines now 245rwkW I need to get it on a 4WD dyno though... Did a few medium launches tonight, grips awesome. Tires chirp a bit then I'm off!

Japan sounds great, wish I could go again!! :pwned: But uni calls...

Actually atm I'm in Melbourne courtesy of an oil and gas company- They flew me over for a job interview all expenses paid :laughing-smiley-014:

I generally reside in the nthrn burbs back home

hey peeps...everyone beware of a white 70's model celica from down south, couple of my mates were at a servo down that way last night after a bit of a hills run and 5 dudes came over from that car and started shit, kicked the shit out of a R32 4DR, including cooler, bonnet, roof, front windscreen, the lot. then attempted to steal the car by ripping him out of it. couple of other people's cars were damaged to.. these people will get what's coming to them. be careful people, far to many dickheads running around having no respect for other people's property..

take it sleazy.....ash.

7000 RPM launch is just silly and is not really needed

7000rpm was an example stating he doesn't bounce it off the limiter and drop it. :)

BUT.... You'll find as you run larger turbo's start making more power you'll be required to raise rev's higher to get off the line without it bogging down.

Even the RB20DET GTS4's get off the line nice and easily with bugger all rev's as they boost fairly quickly and make good boost. BIG turbo's tend not to make as much boost in the lower gears, which is why a stock turbo'd rb can hang next to an rb making 100-200rwkw more with a larger turbo until third gear when rolling on the throttle from say 50-60km/h or so.

Thats gotta suck, down south is f**ked these days all the wanks with white nike hats on the side. A club lock always helps out tho.

Nothings changed from 10years ago.... It used to be Hallet Cove and Morphette Vale when I was hooning around in my teens and early 20's.

Walk the streets down at Hallette Cove was extremely dangerous it = guaranteed bashing by the local 'crews'. Morphett vale was fairly bad. Just be smart; don't stare, don't drive like a dick cutting people off and unless you have numbers ignore if some one try's to start shit, simply don't talk back and most importantly know when to zip it and take off as you don't know who they are.

Its everywhere....

When I was young and silly I had my car kicked and punched just out side of town near melbourne street because I wouldn't do a burn out. Pay back was fun but it did leave me feeling a little flat to be honest.

you know my brain is thinking (after drinking a bit)

that it is not smart for some1 to be up at 6am on a Sunday morning

so clearing i'm not smart

(yes i realise i bagged myself out and i don't care :))

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
