I may not be able to go now :D I'm on call that week unless I can swap with some one, I may not even make it as a spectator. I definalty won't be racing as my cooler probably won't be arrived let alone fitted. Hey shauno I'll get Gracie to take the White atmo VL down and maybe you'll have a chance :( Maybe she can have a go against your civic .......ahem *cough* ... I mean prelude... :lol:

What i want to know is who is going to be running at the drags on the 25th of January. I me FWDDRIFTKING is bringing the hondie down, and hopefully big bro will have the atmo turbo siliva ready with new injectors and fuel pump. But is ricknismo going down to punish the GTR that is the main point cause that i have to see. I missed the Street Machines GTR effort cause i had to work.

Also down at the Drags last time when Ricknismo raced was a 1972 ford escort with a VR4 mitsi. motor in it. It managed to pull a 12.6 at 109mph on 16inch street rubber and a open wheeler diff pretty impressive stuff. The car was build by a Mech. engineer in Bundy who went throught uni with my old man. He has a 11 sec series III rx7. And if that aint fast enough for him he also has a 11.0 @ 122 MPH XC falcon with a 460 c.i big block with his own fuel injection system that he made from a wolf 3D. This guys is nut, he just has a pure need for speed

I am in for the 23 of feb(i think that is the right date??)

I hope that big VL monster is going to be there....

I need some number plates too.... I was still thinking 51IDA... which says slida.... don't know anymore crazy cool sugesstions....

Hey rick it's tops to see your skyline down there.... your not scared that is for sure.... I finally am in the process of getting my injectors and then it is bosch motorsports fuel pump and I am on my way.... all the way to the drags that is.... tops!!!

hey nismos car is running better mile an hour but slower times... those diff gears really really suck.... you just can't pedal it off the line... but I was pretty happy with the times.... it's what I expected.... it ran a best of 14.4 on High Boost - Nismo driving

and 14.6 standard boost with me driving....

it was fun anyway... and it didn't spit a turo this time... that was a good thing....

another question for all you tech heads to search up.... i'm not knocking anyone or anything.... however the big and little richo were up nismo about running no exhaust other than the dump pipe... they claimed that it burnt out valves.... has anyone ever heard of this?! it sounds sus to me but I haven't played turbo's for that long.... all I know is engines are heat pumps... air/fuel in then air/fuel out as fast as you can....

so in my opinion dumping the exhaust will only add performance not burn out valves..... makes the car easier to drive to cause with a nasty V8 beside you you just can't hear what your doing in a turbo car.... it really sucks when you *ahem* accellerate quickly to the speed limit beside a noisy V8 or worse still a mongrel rotory... you just can't judge what's going on properly....

    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks
