it's not even similar......

happens about twice a week

Twice a week?!

People having trouble listening these days?

i would, i didnt test the manual though. would like to.

Seeing I don't need/want a practical car, I could give it a miss - however, if I do need one, I might actually give it a second thought.

It's just me, it isn't that bad of a car.

lol...

car has soooo much potential...

will moh do it justice?

Dw I will kuz

Kim Jong ill was one of hennessey's best customers, reportedly spending approx $720,000 p/a on the shit! DAYMN SON!

he was the illest.

ill hold judgement till its finished.

but you got a lot of work to do.

I know :( can't wait to start the rb30

yeh its looking more and more likely that I won't need a practical car either.. almost considering keeping the orange thing.

Just got back from a stealership to try out FG XR6T.

Only thing i liked was the fact it haul arse. The rest of the car is just ok, not much else. I noticed FG have weird steering wheel angle, it hits on my knee when I un-depress the clutch pedal even though i put the seat all way down.

Would I buy one, the jury's out on this one.

you know you can adjust the steering wheel right? :P

Still yet to try Commodore SS, purely to see what they're like, see if the bogans are into the money or...

tested one,

they feel a lot bigger and a lot heavier..

and those guards are a bit deceiving being larger than the body.

i dont know.. didnt really like it.

I have a 2011 VE II SS going up for sale soon at pickles. No damage and only 27000 on the clock.

if you test drive one soon, and like them shoot me a PM.

im not gonna say much as im not allowed.. but yeh, VEEERRRY cheap. ;)

Cheap enough for a Straight swap for my gf's Barina? :P

I did that, lower the seat as well, it's hitting my knee unless I spread my legs like a dirty broad minded person in porno film while driving it.

Aaron, PM me with a estimated price range and is it manual?

Pm me first so I can reply.. And it's auto

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
