Saw LadyBytes R32 in civic today. Creative parking btw.

Your federals are going to wear out if you keep using them for normal street driving though :D

Not so creative... I had Steady Eddy with me... he's good for getting the good car parks LOL actually, I have secure parking at work and felt nervous with it out there.

Federals are good for street... soft but not too soft... I think they're good for around 13000ish k's

In an R32 GTR you can expect about the 12 - 13,000km from 595RS, which isnt to bad considering how soft they are, but the problem is that your slowly degrading the tread compound by driving them cold, they are designed to be driven hot, so the more you drive them on the street the less heat cycles your getting into them and in turn you might find that they go a little bit hard after a couple of thousand km's...

That said, if you wear them out you will need to buy more, so go for it, I'll be here when you need another set :D

Funny that, went past at 2:20ish and they were gone when they were actually needed with a ford broken down at the intersection causing all sorts of chaos with idiots cutting lanes to save a precious minute..

Also saw a wrx pinned by an undercover VZ just down the road too.

    • 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.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
