So the 30K was her quote to fix.

they disputed it and had them do cheaper repairs on some areas than she wanted to get the cost down.

know she wasn't happy with the first time getting it back, and then issues after they attempted to fix that, not sure where it at now however.

Bit of both

It's a visitor space he's parking in (even though he's a permanent visitor; his girlfriend lives in the complex) and the guy in the visitor space next to him is parked a fair way over too. His car is simply too big for the limited space left for him. If I wasn't hugged up against the other side of my space to keep my distance from the visitor cars (clearly this is working) then his oversized hipster douchebag utility wouldn't even get in there.

My black car doesn't move so I don't care about him blocking me in, but I've seen the way this kid drives, like a fkin retard, and I don't like it, or seeing him park this close to my car. I don't believe someone is guiding him in and it's only a matter of time before he hits a car down there.

WWDD - What would Dezz do - do that

Barry believes it, with E85. RB26s with 98 make about 340-350 with GT-SS.

It's pretty unlikely but you sha'll find out in time, we built a RPM 2.8 with -9s and it made 360kw on E85. I think it could have been pushed harder than that for sure with the right fuel setup and exhaust.. but 400.. pretty unlikely with those turbos without straining them.

Interesting

Steve 34R aka R8TED only made 317kw on the racepace dyno on e85 and -9's. Not sure what the norm is, maybe Matt Borci will throw in his 2 cents

Must be thinking of someone else, Steve's never been to Racepace. I remember he did make like 235kw when he switched to E85 and a tune he was telling me at Sandown last time I was there... was hard to hold back the chuckles at less than stock 98 power with Ethanol...

That might be Hamish's racepace dyno theory coming into play

Previous owner of GTR dynoed it with the GT-SS and said he got about 350awkw - could easily have been full of shit but even close to that I can see another 50kw from another 400cc and E85.

In any case I'm not too worried - I have no doubts I'll end up with -5s down the track but definitely wanna see what the small turbos can do in the low and midrange with the big engine. I think it'll be linear like standard XR6 turbos, only with a bucketload more pull.

Also when you say "we built" you really don't need to call it an "RPM 2.8" lol

They can throw a pair of turbos on any old 2.8 that rolls in the door, the RPM 2.8 is a specific base build so we at least know what mods have been done to make it a 2.8, if its been ported, etc

My bad he just mentioned racepace in his comments.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
