Thats no surprise, I dont know of many GTR's that can run 10.5 with a stock transmission for any length of time, be it R32, R33, R34 or R35. I suppose there arent many production cars that can.

This will lead to stronger set ups, I'm just thankful to this guy pushing the envelope so soon, so that the rest of us plebs reap the benefit in 4-5 years when we can afford one.

There is no question that this guy wont stop till he gets the absolute most out of his car. All I can say to him is thankyou.

I just hope that someone is able to develop a manual transmission! haha.
for what POSSIBLE reason would you want that to happen?!

Some of these guys still think that a conventional manual is somehow so much stronger than some "semi-auto" and that with their superman skills could change gear just as fast as a DSG, if they were driving it!

PPG are currently developing the stronger gearsets, so it's only a matter of time.

Ouch! As said above, props to these brave few testing the waters and pushing the boundaries on the new GTR. Will only mean for a wealth of knowledge and aftermarket support for when many of us can afford one

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
