I saw a Stagea run an 11, that's a fast boat.:)

Hi Have you towed any of the race cars yet with the Stagea?

Used your suggested suspension settings on my R33 track car's first outing....result very good, pretty neutral handling with good front end turn in. thanks :D

Good to hear, you need to fine tune the settings to your personal tastes, but it's a good place to start. As for Stagea towing, I haven't found a tow bar with enough capacity yet, still looking

Yeh when is the Winton UAS day? Im in melbourne and will be trying to convince some of the hillbillies down here to make the trip north for the weekend...:(

Could get down there one day although more likely to go to Qld. Waiting for my custom trailer to be finished.

The boat is getting pumped even more. Found the valves were badly worn from too much boost and not enough valve spring pressure even though the springs were twice factoryspec. Now have Supertech .5mm oversized valves. Found Arias chrome rings not best for high temp and boost as they wore out, so going 40 thou oversized Ross pistons with full steel rings gas nitrided and proven in big boost drag cars. All cryogenic treated. Changing turbo's from S15 to Disco potato GT28RS 440hp each. Getting the exh housings high temp HPC coated and if have time will get comp housings extrusion honed. Should make 450rwkw with if anything a little more lag which won't hurt it. Might even get semi slicks on to keep things more honnest hey FATZ?

Next UAS track Sunday 1st May Wakefield and keep your eyes on your mirrors please.

Roy Porsche 6 piston GT3 Carrear cup Monoblock's lightwieght, brand new can do $800 each. Second hand $650 each. I know you would use them.

Put new motor in and new D2 suspension and went to Nissan Datsun Nationals Easter Sunday at Wakefield. Only got three runs on the full circuit and only managed a 1 min 9.48 although still fastest car on the day next fasted was a Dato 120y coupe FJ20 near 200rwkw 900kg 2 seconds slower. Heaps of zeds and a few Skylines and a R32 GTR. Got back and pulled motor out Tuesday to remove turbo's to get extrude honed and high temp coated and a few other minor changes then going back in next few weeks ready for our track day. Bring on your GTR's or GTS-T's.

PS more GTR parts as now has GTR bronze valve guides and valve stem seals. We measured and found the valve guides to be slightly shorter and protrude less into the ports so less restriction and proven on flow bench test.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
