RIP
The more I read about the EJ the more I cringe 
I mean the Focus RS was the other option [emoji14] 
But the rumble is good!


Oh, the 205 survived and is still running last I was told of not long ago.

You have 255, you’ll be fine.

When that happens you've pushed too hard or royaly f**ked up.

 

What happened in the second? Looked like lift off but then the ripple strip kind of pulled you in like a vacuum lol

Spins are such an oh shit moment, buckle in for the ride ?

The line i tried to take was a bit tight and i lost the rear + probably a few km/h too quick without any rear wing. Was lucky to get away with that. I used to try take that chicane at 160-170, after that i revised my entry speed to 150-160.

The first one was just a few km/h too fast and too much kerb, luckily the front left wheel was still on the tarmac and provided enough grip to flick it the other way.

Was that with proper LSD Billiam?

Kerbs are not really your friend on a racetrack. Not really. They do stuff like that more often than they don't, every track has a couple of 'safe' ones and yeah the rest uh.... avoid to .. avoid stuff like the above happening!

Would dispute the more often than not. Ive done a few hundred laps around Sandown over the years and i only climb the kerb on the right of the chicane and the kerb at dunlop corner (last right). Have spun once due to the kerb and it was more a combination of too much entry speed and too much kerb.

Anyway less car talk, more wasteland.

Kerbs might be a problem when you have 11th million KW.

but when you have little kerbs are your friends, cutting corners and using outside corners to catch sideways momentum = faster lap times.

I think the slipperly concrete outside of final turn sandown is about the only one I don't touch.  


11-15% fee for bidding?? Why wouldnt the seller cop this fee, not the buyer?
Is it repo or something?

It's the same at all car auctions, pickles, mahinnins and such do same, all auctions I've watched in US are the same,

It's the same vintage scheme NRMA to RACV, and I'll no doubt lose it come time to renew. People in the insurance thread have been complaining about their insurance refusing to renew etc. People indeed f**ked it up, insuring pieces of shit that got stolen or written off and now they won't touch them on the vintage insurance schemes. They base the savings on the vehicle being a weekender and spending 1/4 the time on the road as a daily driver. What they didn't account for originally is the rate at which people become detached as owners of these cars...

Renewal just came through on my 33R - 350 premium now but still 30k agreed without engine. Thought they were canceling these policies for Skylines...not even gonna challenge the figures!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
