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)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
