I was in a meeting yesterday with civil engineers talking about how to dispose of oil an PCB contaminated soil. if te tests come up ok, they can mix it with 2% concrete and bury it :/

on a side note, I got a message from a pulsar guy that he is currently importing a GTiR long motor from Japan that has been built with tomei parts and strokes to 2.2, and would sell it to me if I want it...

i remember doing an environmental module, about bio remediation on oil and pcb contaminated soils, not sure about the mechanics of the whole process as you know how uni modules are, they just scratch the surface and give you a degree at the end of it all, knowing not much more than before enrolment.

that's what I liked about TAFE, rather than spending countless hours over the time of the course learning about how formulas transcribes to what we want to do with it, they just gave us the formula and said now apply to these scenarios... dodged a lot of calculus. we all walked away saying I can do that, but I can't tell you why it works

Lotus Exige S - V6 Supercharged ; 258kw @ 1100kg ; 0-100 in 3.8s

$140,000 - worth the money? /discuss

so assuming 220rwkw @ 1100kg = approx 200rwkw/tonne

my view is that the 200rwkw / tonne is the power to weight milestone a car needs to reach to be in the serious fun zone....

equivalent in other cars people will be able to relate to:

ke70 - 160rwkw

mx5 - 200rwkw

s chassis - 250rwkw

gtst - 270rwkw

evo - 280awkw

gtr - 300rwkw

recent v8 falcodore - 360rwkw

I'd say yes, it will be extreme fun and decent value compared to itallian offerings, but nothing i'd look into.

considering what you could have for a track day for $140k its bad value.

and no i wouldn't even dream of using one for a daily/track car

in b4 leigh dickbags on about v8 torque and how this somehow makes up for the car weighing more than the third moon of jupiter

(every one of those cars has a unique feature that puts them ahead of the others in some way, which is why i chose them)

oh haha, thought there was more to it. Like Leigh being denied warranty for breaking something.

Ford built tuff! (hopefully don't break anything next week at the drags)

long live teh GT

don't speak too soon.. the GS came from factory with a dicky water pump that will probably need replacing

i'm not even planning to go for graduation.

from all accounts, its just a pointless waste of time sweltering in a hot and humid hall.

I didn't originally plan on going, but knew I would regret it later. and keeps family happy

Fkn aye!

Found out I don't need a VIV certificate to register my car as there is a 15 year exemption for it

Dat benefit of owning an old car lol

17 years here brah

2pac was still alive when my car was new shiiiit

Alvin, any luck with grad positions?
Got nothing from my end..... :unsure:

This is why I like to ask people how and why it works, just for the lolz. hahaha

Didn't go to my graduation, Just got my stuff send in the mail

Stuff waiting around all day just to go up and receive your certificate for 10 secs!

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
