To the SAU group of members,

I would just like to say it has been a fantastic 3-4 years contributing to this excellent site. I have met and made friends with many on the site in and around Brisbane. SAU has got to be the most respectable and largest forum that I know, where there is a large wealth of information ready at your finger tips.

It is time for me to depart from the forums for a little while, maybe a couple of years. I recently sold the R32, the second one I owned, and now have moved on into the rotary world.

May you all enjoy your rides and keep developing this site more on top of what it already is.

Peace and farewell,

00MFG (Arbess)

Which chook cooker did you go for mate.........I like the Series 4 RX7's (shape) although the interiors look real oldschool

You know you will be back...........It will go well for a while and then blow up. Then you will miss the reliability of your old 32 :D

Good luck mate :D , we will be here when you come back.........

LOL @ your replies.... your supposed to wish me well.

But yes there will be a time where I will consider the RB's again. Though when people say reliability of the RB's, I would agree but only to the extent of the engine itself, the remaining car itself can be questionable.

Yes I am in an RX-8 and wait for it................................................ warrranty........................................... cheap insurance.................................... and lots of head turns for the possies out there.

I will try and head out to events as the rx8 club seems a little "inactive" and the boostcrusing club are a bunch of "[insert imaginative word here]".

Look out for me if and when I come back because it will NOT be in a 32 or 33, nor will I be in single turbo set up, as per usual.

My departing quote is "With great power comes great brakes" - Superman with boost.

RX8 mmmmmmm is it pink or yellow and have you put the frangapani on the back lol............. :)

Very nice car but yes I agree underpowered.......Pity they didn't boost it like the last one.....a factory turbo version would have sold well

Apparently they do handle very well judging by the reviews I have read about them over the years.......

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      Starting again

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
