"Your" 98 is shipped in the same unflushed container as kero, diesel, 91 octane etc...... we'd rather not take the risk of a bad batch. I've seen it too many times before.

But do tell if there's been a major change in the garunteed quality of the fuel?!?!

Yes please do ask.... would be good to have a definative answer :P

Like I say, just spoke to Vandenberg again, he said they're not running over to the mainland for 98 fuel this time, but suggested we bring our own to run in the 35.... don't wanna risk one of thiose engines :D

Looking forward to seeing the car in the flesh Ben, I'll be SOS on the chicane on stages SS2,7,8 and 13. Hopefully i'll be able to have a video camera running so i can see the performace of it accelerating out of the chicanes.

Sweet :dry: I'll give you a wave on the way past :/

ahh looks good, the stickers always make the race car.

no idea how you found spare money from ACL though considering their last 12 months!

Kel and Tony's 35, and the 32 are on the boat to Burnie on Thursday arriving Friday

Just a little something my mate at the Advocate whipped up to support the Boys racing next weekend.

the car looks awesome russ!

over the next couple of months i'm going to take some random samples of tassie pump bp 98 and have them tested by the company we have contracted for next years events do get some hard data of local 98.

Spoke to a manager down at the wharf the other day, he told me that the fuel comes in different tanks. They (the fuel companies) won't risk cross contamination, they have pretty stringent quality control procedures. So hopefully it's as good a quality as any where else in the country :(

hey thanks Stuart, i will proably be meeting you soon.

i really want to do the Wrestpoint Targa, & will have an entry in very soon. sounds like a top event.

also atleast we know we can get fuel over there!

cheers guys

    • 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.
