YO!!!! :action-smiley-069:
Am back from nam.
Am craving to ride motorbikes now that I've done quite a bit over there, the first hired bike didn't have a working horn. #wasnotfun

What have I missed the past month?
Update me peeps.

Meanwhile nathans pushing 380kw at the hubs, standard nur spec, on ethanol.. and was actually caning it too! Passenger laps were sick.

george was going nuts as well haha

#northsiderepresent

Yes but they are gtrawkw

So that's like an extra 40% power in the real world yeah?

Mini Cooper s convertible was adamant on dragging the Gloria one quiet Sunday morning. Rolling back and forward at the lights, revving the motor etc. Auto and low down torque make it a piece of cake to launch, after that the mini never gained any ground. He pulled up beside me grinning, trying to exchange a glance or something? Tint was too dark, so he couldn't see shit lol #VIP #eadc

At least... it's also faster in all situations despite the extra weight over a gtst.

LOL

For some reason there were only 2 cars that HAD to try it on when I had the 33... Cooper S and golf GTI/R

Some dude in a cooper S tried it on once to impress some blonde bimbo in the passenger seat, I held it level with him for a bit of fun until about half way through second... gave him a toot, gave the 33 a clutch kick and left him in the rear view... At the next set of lights on the private road the look on his face was priceless... pure rage.... and the bimbo was almost in tears laughing

I could hear turbo spool so could have been turbo swapped and was sporting an exhaust.

Probably flash tuned though for dat fuel economy.

The JCW minis are factory turbo

Mate of mine has a modded one, bit strange considering he's a great bloke

Needs more JDM Rims...

Will be dropping them off tonight at about 8:00 or so

Somehow I don't think Koya constitutes JDM lol

the ones that are offset by the lack of VCT?

Better plenum, head flows better than GTS-T, generally makes torque earlier on than a GTS-T which makes close to 300kw. Not sure why you think a GTR 9 times out of 10 isn't going to be faster than a GTST with similar power.

What about this guy

Hamish is probably refering to track times on the basis of 4wd and higher weight vs rwd and lighter weight if all else being equal

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
