Michael, yours sounded tough as out there today! Noticed smoke come from underneath the car under deacceleration/down shifts, I presume power steering fluid dropping on the exhaust?

You're right Luke, it was the power steering fluid.

Nice program^^^. How did it create the map of mallala? Through google maps etc or just traced your path? You planning to head out agin soon, definetly want to see this thing in action!

Looking at it, I would say it uses GPS tracking technology.

210kph thru the kink? Too bad, just 15kph shy of what my bike can do :banana:

Joeleo - do you mean a trackskill car because i wouldn't put them in the same class as a super v8

like children at a competition,we all know how fast bikes go,this sites called skylines not bikes r us,otherwise a lot of people would have heaps of stuff to say,accidents and all that,keep it constructive,this sites getting worse,we all know who the try hards and posers are,dont stoop to that level guys

No bike does 225kmh through the kink......

"no bike" is a pretty big statement.............Rossi or Stoner may have something to say about that on their lightweights ;)

some of these guys below do similar bends on the Isle of Mann at 260kph on one wheel.........unfortunately this guy didn't quite make the bend, ouch!! :/

Isle of Mann bend at 256kph

At a guess it made the map with a G sensor, my go kart data logger would do the same thing

A current spec litre bike will exit the top of turn 3 at around 60km/h and then have 200 metres to accelerate to peak speed before gentle braking or a complete roll off into the kink. There is no such thing as holding a 180-200ps superbike through the kink flat on conventional road tyres, and there are very few that could roll through there at a genuine 230km/h. The more powerful the bike, the more the back straight gets divided into two straights with a bend in the middle :)

Mallala is always the same story. It seems no matter who you speak to, or how slow their lap times are the bike/car car goes into the kink at 180 - 200km/h. Fact is an R35GTR, one of the quickest production cars you can buy, and capable of an 11 second quarter in stock form, fires out of turn 3 with full traction and enters the kink at an ACTUAL 180km/h, absolutely flat to the boards. Data logging like this, rather than a quick glimpse at the speedo, tells the whole story, even if it doesnt sound so cool :O

I think you have a point there given the wheel slip/loss of actual speed but I for one would love u to lend ruby ur tracking kit.... looks hardcore good (certainly looks better than the home made telemetry system im building)

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
