maybe he was really desperate for a fresh steak?

depends ..this morning: Sepultura - Chaos AD because i was in a pissed off mood.

if i'm in my prime then god help me agg..

yes..dirty OLD bastard! agg

i am sure cyrice would love to bake your sausage anytime you just asked...

lots of noise and the cabin sounding like a construction site doesn't really make it fast. p.s. enjoy the insurance

p.s. there goes my idea of keeping this under the hat for another year.. damn u smooth!!

not fussed whoever turns up if numbers are needed. Even the pope could turn up and we could test how much that beast the Pope Mobile puts out at the wheels, hell I'd be all for that too Some idea on pricing may be good. Think a lot of the time what happens people go "I'm keen" then the price comes up and people go ohhh, maybe not. Then the numbers are less than expected. just my 2c

oh man, the times we shared together.. you and me webster over the years! webster you are my favourite pal..

yes, i am another year closer to death.. woot.. meh.. birthdays suck when you're old.. :grandpa:

it sounds more like its just dropping timing as it senses detonation from the knock sensor?? larger intercooler should fix that, and add to the overall life of the engine.

Like he said I keep reading its not the actual design of the nissan rods as they are quite strong, but simply the small imperfections in there. As most will know a tiny crack or tear can turn into a large one under stress in any material. Higher HP, and/or detonation is going to do that. Shot peening, or blasting the surface with tiny beads or "shots" clears and smooths the surface, hopefully reducing any cracks or imperfections and the probability i guess of them spreading, and then failing. Hence I guess giving a higher tollerance for error in the rest of the engine. If you can't afford the rest not sure whether it really makes too much sense just adding forged pistons on their own... as it seems like you'd be taking other shortcuts there too to save costs?

hey mate.. coming dragging tomorrow night? I'm trying to rope in as many people as i can see..hehe

:werd: i think some people are just coming in here to make sure nothing is said about them, or others they know.. to me thats a bit poor.

probably...think i was mixing up something i was going to say and what i did say :-s oops if you get past the first 60' quicker, you will be going quicker at that point, which should mean you get a higher MPH and better time at the end. it will definitely be more than 0.269 but anyhow.. test and tune is also wednesday nights also. Few of the SAU regulars will be there tomorrow night running (inc me).. Have only run a few times in VIC (and didn't do spectacularly) so will be interesting to see how i go.

noble park is in melb.

p.s. didn't you get the email that was sent out??? :shock:

:werd:

well only if you don't give a **** about the structural integrity of the car.. if I was buying a car its one of the first places i look, to check to see there is no obvious chasis bends. If all the sills etc were bent to shit I sure as hell wouldn't be buying it. and any workshop that i know was doing that I wouldn't be taking my car to anymore either.

car came with rb25det = rebuild your old engine, you got most of the stuff you need anyhow. new engine = may as well go rb30det.. torque torque -but joel aren't you/haven't you got yours shot-peened as well??

That 60' isn't *too* bad at 2.269 .. i mean even if you got a really good launch you'd could get it down to a flat 2.0. Even if you did theoretically thats really only going to knock 0.269 off your final time, and you would still be mid 14's there really. So probably that 3500 to launch at is not too bad to be honest in your car. So really it points to just the rest of the power not being there in your car after that initial 60' - combined with slow gearchanges or something like that as the MPH is a little low. So really, just some modifications if you ask me will push you into lower 14sec territory and beyond.

well it stacked into another car.. think the other car (new ute) came out of the sidestreet.. and the porsche didn't see them / wasn't paying attention, clipped the ute and then swerved.. then hit the bank. RHS side of the porsche looked pretty hammered - a good $10k bill i'd say It was up the crest of the hill. not sure really what happened, but it must have happened about 5-10mins before i drove past.. didn't really want to sticky beak.

not the newest new porsche.. but a pretty new one. Think it was the real deal too-- not a boxer either. seen it a few times, he drives like a bit of a knob so not surprised. Bout time somebody crashed on our street for acting like a knob.. many of them

a porsche stacked on the end of my street.. its being towed away. for some strange reason i found it pleasureable to look at. Not sure who's fault it was.. the porsche hit the bank.. some new ford GT ute was involved.. i have a feeling both were driving too fast and not paying proper attention - and bang.

i don't get too many really these days.. think the giant novelty wang scares them off..
