I went today from 5-10pm and to be honest it wasnt the most exciting nite of racing.

Plenty of waiting around from cars running into the sand or sliding on their roof etc I think I spent more time in the pits than sitting watching.

I'm confident that next weekends SuperNats will be 10x better.

OMG :( I have never seen Hail so big in my life. Today around 3ish it started to hail then i could not beleive my eyes when a few more come down. I picked up 2 of them and that was all i could fit in my hand.

And thanks to the almighty one above i now have HALE DAMAGE :D and more chips on my bonnet than before :D

We headed there, got there just before 3...... looked at the sky.... looked at the $50 entry..... turned around and left!!! Lucky I did though, was in the zed and the targas look strong but I really dont want to test the theory!!

Thanks everyone, arfter getting home and having a better look at my car i have ended up with more chips on my car than before and as far as i can see so far there is about 7-8 dents on the bonnet and 9-10 on the roof. Pretty SAD :P

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
