@mlr you coming in your whooshy pssh sututu machine?

I worked it out, if I get up at 5:15am  (which I do most days), get the car out the door by 5:30am by playing tetris then be at Wilberforce by 6:30am.

At that point if my car hasn't broken down, or been defected then will cruise with @PLYNX to whereever 

@niZmO_Man you coming Mr Uber?

Timings and start point

If work isn't a issue, I'll tell the Mrs that I need to do a "work thing"

My back is still pretty sore though, running stiff suspension, a fixed bucket seat with zero give, semi slicks still is hard to offset the adrenaline rush and GATE :D

I think having GATE makes the drive more enjoyable.

"Disclaimer: We all did the speed limit because we are responsible adults."

When did this happen ? I didn't get the memo  . . . I think !!!! 

And as to the speed limit, we had too cause of the fear instilled in us by the amount of dead kangaroos/wombats/possums on the road.

On that did any of you guys spot the Kangaroo standing on the side of the road, about to cross, near the armor guard rail as we crossed the bridge on the second windy section ? ? 

Scared the poop out of me ! ! !

 Notice the blue R34GTR that waved to us as we were heading back out of Singleton at around 10am ?

Anyone know who that was ?

Yeah I did notice, I was too busy changing playlists on Spotify and couldn't' wave back fast enough

The only downside of a dedicated track car, I cant do these street runs with you guys :(

Would of loved to take my 32 up Macquarie pass with you guys a few weeks back, its like in my back yard lol.
Got a good video somewhere of a 5 minute run (no traffic at all) up the pass in my old XT forester.

 

I'm busy this weekend :(
Trying to get dyno time to dial up a customer's car, then tile shopping again LOL

Oh yeah, let's see how I go, I am craving a track day as well :)

Went (yet again) very early Saturday morning and stopped for breakfast at the Grey Gums caff for some breakfast.

Funny thing happened, a new black BMW M2 pulled up and I thought that looks a bit different so i took a sneaky look at it while the owner was in side.

I have to say it was a very nice bit of kit and noticed that it was a manual, that is a proper manual not a flappy paddle gearbox.

The owner came out and I complemented him on his car and asked him what year model it was and he said it was this years model.

He wasn't very talkative and said he had to go and left.

I followed him out and I can confirm it was bloody fast.

I'm thinking someones been test driving a new model

I coming over to the dark side !

Yes Yes I can see the dark side ! 

. . . . . . holy S%it  . . .Ive just looked up the price of the new BMW M2 CS coming out mid this year . . . its nearly $140K . . . 

Hmmm . . . maybe . . . . . NOT !

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
