What sort of times and top speed do you get up to on your motorbike?

I've seen around 250 on my speedo down the front straight, I'll have GPS speed next time though so I'll get back to you after my trackday there on the 27th. Should be able to get more speed with my latest mods, but will be cloesr to topping out so it'll be interesting, hopefully doesn't hit the limiter down the straight.

Times, my best so far was a ~2:05 I think... I take a few seconds off every time I go usually, but obviously that'll slow down as I get under 2 minutes.. My quickest mate does a 1:40-1:41, another around the 1:47 mark and then a few in the 1:55 region...then a few slower than me and one around my pace, at Broadford at least..

Stock fuel lines are fine in skylines

Might not even need pump and injectors as your turbo is only small anyway

Currently have a Walbro 400L E85 Compatible pump, and 550cc injectors and new fuel line in the engine bay... I've heard that you should get the proper E85 line for inside the tank though, since the inside of most lines can handle it, but the rubber on the outside generally doesn't last when its submerged.

Chris made it make a happy 278rwkw on 98 (then pulled back for track safety), and then the intake manifold gasket pushing out the side made it want to detonate on the straights at Rexmas. So going to fix that up and chuck some E85 at it to see how it likes it, either the turbo will taper off or injectors will max out. Hoping for the magical 300 so I don't start breaking other things while I'm out there.

ouch. Why not throw in a remax steel while youre at it?

For the $330 for the gears + $400 for the pump I may as well just get a better pump. On top of that car needs to be done by the end of the week so couldn't wait around for the gears.

It'll be fine, N1's only really break if it's an aftermarket balancer, or you get really unlucky.

250km/h is bloody quick!

A mate of mine just came back from PI; his first time there and second track day...lodged a 2:17 for the day. I imagine he'll be cutting off a few seconds ala dezz with the next visit. Jelly cause I was supposed to go with him :(

As for ethanol, all you need is a fuel pump and injectors that can deliver it fast enough, and a tune / whatever mods to support your power.

That's it. The rest is a wank. Uncomplicated science that people - usually those who aren't running the stuff - make into a big ol' Poirot murder mystery.

I'm all about that E85, 2 years now, no treble.

Speedos lose their accuracy above a certain speed; it's unlikely anyone looking at a speedo 200+ down the main straight of PI is actually doing that speed. GPS only way to tell.

I think it's easier for cars to come out of that last sweeper onto the main straight with more speed already built up.

Plus 600s die in the ass above 200, top out around 260-270.

That's quite nice.

I had the chance to put BioFuel lines in my car today with the engine out, opted not too because you're right, it's not needed!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
