I'm in no rush for it lol. It'd be silly for me to buy a car where my head touches the roof!

Actually, reading up on Toyota's official/claimed figures for acceleration is a little disappointing...7.6 for the manual and 8.2 for the auto in a 0-100 dash. Thought it'd at least be into the high 6's like a Sportivo Corolla...this is N/A Skyline territory :/

What did you expect from a N/A Subaru Impreza...

Combined fuel cycle is supposed to be 7.8L/100km, and a little more efficient for the auto, which is about average for a 2 litre these days. It'll be heaps better than a Skyline, but a Skyline is also a lot more car. The thing sure is good looking though - I can see them being popular for purchase in the second hand market and modified heavily with turbo bolt ons.

I doubt they will be turboed by your average joe. they'll need a decompression plate at its least with its 12.5-1 ratio..it would probably ping on Australias shitty fuel.

Im pretty sure they asked a certain tuner to ask his fabricator to make the official factory turbo option. and after researching it agreed it would simply cost too much..(with adding the decomp plate) 12.5 - 1 is not something you would be adding boost to. maybe 10/9-1 and i'de doubt they would want to be pulling apart a brand new engine for a car thats not even released yet..

if they bring out a lower compression ratio then yeh.. but now? especially with no support.. unlikely

Lot of people placed deposit on the agreement that if under $40k they will buy. I've been told that they no longer accepting deposits. What a dealer does on the side for a gamble is his choice I guess.

Yeah I read a dealer actually made a comment on FB Toyota today sayin rumours are false that they are sold out.

Put down his contact details if anyone wanted to buy a some lol

I've had the #4 on your list at the Rockpool, agree it was a great burger

Also the place where I have had my best steak I have eaten so far

went to rockpool the other day, while it was good... i've definately had better steaks

thanks mang.

fwiw i went to the newmarket (number 1 on that list) last thursday and it was fkn awesome! didn't have a burger but the place is DEFINATELY worth it. fkn awesome!

Someone needs to grab Neil perry by his girly ponytail and beat the shit outta him.

We'll get to it eventually. Gotta start knocking em off quick before the 2012 list is released and puts us further behind.

Fair enough, I guess at the end of the day it on some days it may be great and on some not so great, depending on the chefs working that night.

I've been to a few 1 & 2 chef hat restaurants trying out the waygu steaks and so far Rockpool & Grossi Florentino are at the top. Places such as Meat Wine & Co where some of my friends have raved about I only found average.

Different strokes for different folks I guess!

grossi was shit when i went... i was REALLY dissapointed.

best steak i have had was the 180gm score 10+ david blackmores full blood wagyu from bistro vue. was even better than steak i've had at the actual vue du monde.

the steak at rockpool was FAR above average, but i've had better is all

At ~1200kg I expected better straight line performance than an n/a Calibra, 20 years older :/

lol assuming things can't be done given the right amount of money. Factory options and aftermarket are two different things - mark my words, an 86 will be turbocharged within 6 months of them being released here.

One day I want to eat at Vue De Monde. But I get a mini heart attack every time I look at their set menu prices.

It's a minimum of $150 per head for a set Menu?

I think about it....Then I get a McDonald's McChicken Meal :D

Find those figures a bit hard to believe. Given it's power to weight, I'd say that was more similar to DC2R (B18C outputs same power I think, but the teggy weighs touch under 1200kg I think (and will do the dash in the 6s, I believe), where I think the 86 is like 1222kg? From quoted figures. As opposed to an na R34 (1400kg+)... Sometimes I wonder why I drive my underpowered boat around LOL.

On topic; craving to go an adventure to go get a burger now :/

I dont doubt that. And I have a pretty good idea of the person who will build one of the first kits, in vic anyway. But I'm saying it's definitely not going to be as simple as bolt on mods and a tune, unless you want to run 1psi

try $250 and then another $250 for a wine match

I'll be eating there for the 3rd time in a few weeks... cant wait (first time at the new venue)

in hindsight proposing to the mrs at the chef's table there was proably not the best idea, as she wants it to be an annual trip now lol

They get about 7-7.5 secs in this video

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
