No pics tonight but will get some tomorrow... as for the specs, twin pipes all the way to the cat, custom made by Andrew at AM Performance, can't recommend him enough!

You got the AM hi flow cat as well? Getting shit all over the rear bar?

I went to Pearl Jam at war memorial drive tennis courts, what, 14yrs ago. Then thebarton 12yrs ago.

1st one was unreal. Same yr saw SilverChair at the adelaide uni bar. woot

I went to that - it was on my 21st birthday. Bludged uni and spent the day lining up to get a spot right up front. Only problem was that friends came and gave me presents so I had all this stuff to look after. I was in the second row with one of my female friends directly in front of me and I had my arms either side of her, holding the fence to try and prevent her from being crushed. I withstood the Meanies set and about 10 songs by Pearl Jam before exhaustion & dehydration meant I had to leave and get a drink & rest. Had a great night though, not a typical 21st party.

Hey Dion :mrt: been waiting for you to come online.

No Swineflu anymore, yesterday was my first day out of quarantine!

Did you get the measurements for the gtr bar for me? :)

Oooops I forgotz. I will do it today when I get home, if you haven't heard from me by 4 chuck me an sms.

My first car I was an SLR5000 .Anyway I was looking the other day on ebay to see how much i could get for an SLR ashtray and i was amazed at how much these cars go for these days over 20k for a rust bucket. I wish i had of kept it. It was the only car i sold and made money on it. I sold it for 8000 about 10 years ago and if i kept it they reckon it would be worth about 50000 now.

Thought you might like to see my latest purchase, the new Work Emotion 11R rims, just released in Japan. I'm hoping I'll be one of the first in Oz to get them on a car. I bought some in matt black, 18x9.5 +20 all round for the Evo 8. Should fill the guards reasonably well lol...

I'm a big fan of the SLR and was looking at buying one last year ... but the high price tag scared me off. :D

Still want one tho. Maybe a replica :P

Nah, stayed with my Apexi cat, like Andrew said, no point buying one if I already had a good quality one....

Awesome rims there Kristian, what they going on?

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
