Much as I'd love an Aussie autobahn, can you imagine if we actually had one here in Sydney?

You'd be hammering down the fast lane at a 160km/h cruise and all of a sudden there'd be a beige camry merging into your lane doing about 40 with no indicator.

Yeah had a think after, with all the people in rustbuckets trying to hit the speed limit - things would not end well.. It would be pretty nice though to have a higher speed limit between states/major cities, like from Sydney to Melbourne.

But there's no getting past the point of the way some people drive here... down.gif

hhhmm that was close! But lucky the driver noticed that the noob was merging.

I'm not suggesting a 2 lane autobahn, but something like a 4 lane highway, with the right lane barricaded (kind of like on the bridge when entering the city) where only certain vehicles can enter that lane (like a bus lane). Pay a one off fee of $50 for each PERSON and anyone caught driving in that lane is fined $1000 and 8 points. high fine might deter camry noobs and let's face it. The government has to make some money off it or it's not Australia right?

I suggest the autobahns on roads like the hume highway or something. Somewhere emptier than others so it's safe.

The above is all bullsh!t of a world i shall build one day!!! :(

On a serious note, we'll never have anything epic here :(

Time to break out a new Oz film called "3Hands"

fatz' R32 barrelling along the hume autobahn with RB25PWR's 'checkered blue'n white' in pursuit

> along comes the VFT with accomplice FST513 hangin out the window trying to shoot the tyres out of the pursuit car

> bad shooting

> misses everything except MaTBoY's 'transformer' camry coming outta side road trying to dodge bullets at 5km/hr

> T-Bones the R32

> 'checkered blue'n white rear-ends the R32

> end of "3Hands"

yeah he's dreamin'...

I would love to see an Autobahn style road, but I don't beleive the soil in Australia is stable enough to handle it without very strict maintainance... and we all know how well Parramatta Rd is maintained :rolleyes:

Have you ever watched the documentary on the Autobahn and how it is maintained and monitored? Fook me dead it's one high tech piece of road!

Plus, 15 minutes MAXIMUM from when you crash, to a helicopter touching down with a team of paramedics!

15 MINUTES!!!

We have a half an hour delay of the bird getting in the air in Wollongong after the Ambulance service requests the chopper!

I was actually thinking about that when driving the f3 last night. There were some parts where the car (magna) was a little exciting at the speed limit, there aren't many places where 140 would be safe in it (140 because theres a smaller political party pushing for that speed).

And this would be one of the better cars on the road, serviced regularly, abs, good tyres, suspension is good, has easily enough power to get up to speed etc... as opposed to some old hyundai crapbox maxing out at 105.

Point is, in an above average car it'd be on the unsafe side, I sure wouldn't want to be on that road with everyone trying to push beyond their car's safe limits

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
