My requested for a 400R build with a big fark orf BW9180 turbo has already been declined :(

Seems the single turbo conversion is ok'd on a case by case situation.

The 13B twin turbo RX7's are allowed a control turbo and manifold, good for 300 KillerWasps on E85.... that'd be fun :D

^^^ Was just chatting to Snowy. We figured it might have been around the RX7's as the twin sequentials on them are a bit ghey apparently.. ie unreliable. Could make an FD a pretty good thing for EM I reckon. Who do we know who has an FD?? :)

An bris, thats twice this morning I have been bashed by a big brown monster with a stick... I'll try it neat next time chased with an invalid. :)

Looks like benson wanted to make his rental more compdeditive :P

I thought the 102 would be for the na cars that don't get a power gain from e85 (lambos), I recon the rx8 will still run e85, and still be unreliable

Lambo's can't run 102 though (and they have also been banned from running E85 now. Well - the R35's have. And I'm pretty sure that 2 of the podium getters were running E85 last year as well).

Its only LMS and MS cars that can run either Elf or E85. SS are limited to 98RON.

But I'd be willing to bet a can of coke that Mazda will run the Elf.

how long till a r31 gts-r becomes a classic?

LOL, yeh when are people going to run cool cars. By cool I mean old, unreliable, slow but loud cars. :whistling:

If someone wants to build a Sierra I know the perfect car to build up as it already has all the good parts from either RS500, Grp A or aftermarket :)

Serial, I reckon the 31 rear suspension setup is just too shit to be any good on a Tarmac rally. On circuits you can set them up stiff to alleviate the appalling camber changes, but a rally car, esp a two wheel drive one, really needs to be pretty supple.

    • 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.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
