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:

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)

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
