My R33 had great AC. Was like a freezer box inside. Note... HAD

Normally don't want it on anyway. They don't like high RPM. One of the reasons that the stock ECUs will disable the compressor at full throttle or high RPM. Good for a little extra engine braking though

Perhaps if people wanting to save Wakie also were will to reduce their cars noise levels it would really help Wakie be able to meet the noise levels. Remember this, whilst Wakie may not have been keeping strict enough on the noise levels they were meant to enforce, and this really didn't help them, every single person who went "But it's a race track, I can be as loud as I want" and also didn't keep themselves in check with the regulations, they all contributed to this too. In another location, I publicly asked how many of those who want to save wakie as they use it would be willing to make their cars quiet if it meant saving Wakie... Oddly... No responses of anyone happy to do so... Basically, it's the exact same thing when someone says "EVs can't be good race cars, as they don't make noise!"

V8 in small bay can be a bit of a cluster like clearing steering rack, etc. But, I think you'd be happy to spend the money to build the crazy manifolds etc what insurance scheme is Skid Control run with? Are they carrying pub liability and that sort of thing that MA provides?

Shhh... He'll criticise you for that Honda you're letting sleep with Zoe and Cheryl next...

So still not enough for a house deposit in Sydney... Keep going Neil! Giving me motivation to do the little tidy up jobs that I scrubbed off my build list after getting annoyed with them. while the panel beater is around, have you thought about getting him to smooth over and remove any of the bolt holes and random holes that you don't need any more to tidy the bay up looks wise, and remove areas for dirt and crap to gather?

I actually had to go reading how canards work to create downforce. Interesting, as it's different to how I pictured. Would the regs allow you to setup some "trim" around / under the car, in the same way Dean does on the big under body section of his open wheeler? I'm meaning the sacrificial bits of rubber that actually touch the ground as a skirt, or are you not allowed to as a tin top / are you planning to run something outside of Hill Climbs for Cheryl?

Jeebus, that's a long wait for the shed! How are you doing all this work without a garage?! 😮

You down in the Swich now Rob? Wanna send your shed builder my way, I need to expand the garage a bit bigger now... Running out of room... Ha ha

No updates on the R33 as life hasn't given me time right now. But... It does now have to share some room in the Garage with something Jap 80s... Oh, and someone built this house too close to the fence... First go, no guides. Yeah, won't put it in this far again as I bet I'll take both the left and right poles at the same time

Concur!

Geez mate, they hadnt much earlier released the R34!

Ha! Old f**ker! Im 35. Hahaha

As someone whos work just ran an EV drive / circuit day, I can tell you now, EV racing has quite a few issues to overcome. Main one being batteries dislike heat. Heat occurs from high current draw. High current draw is need for all the zoom zooms... Also, Polestar2 drive really nicely in a sporty manner... brakes need some work though... ... ...

Feel free to take the dash out too Neil, ill come past and collect the Dash and Console from you actually, pretty sure my console might be down the back. Wish I bought a dash before Covid/USA tax hit when you did your sound deadener removal, how much dry ice did you end up going through? im assuming the moment i get mine all removed, I'll need to paint the inside? im expecting paint will come off when the dry ice does its job

Have seen guys 3D print them and get over 1000 uses from one die before needing to reprint them. At about a $1 a set... I plan to give it a go!

Are you going back over those holes with a dimple die to make it stronger than it originally was?

Something happened... but it doesnt look like much yet... Hopefully next weekend a bunch more gets done... It was like this... I got it All tested and plans set... Ended like this one of the connecting looms above i can remove entirely to remove a chunk of wiring. I have brand new Deutsch DT connector to crimp on. All new TE Modular fuse box and relay box to build and wire in. Then should be mostly done electrically

And then?

Bullshit. Aussie stuff great. Its all the china shit thats rubbish and breaks all the time

Oh right! Thatllteach me to skim read, ha ha, thought youd gone 17/19 through it all, ha ha ha

Ha ha sorry i was meaning cruising with low ignition timing (low load area). With all the coating etc should be okay

Bit more timing down low once tuned and youll get the surge back years ayearsreduced timing on my 25/30 when it was first put in, as it wasnt yet tuned, may have set it slightly low at only 15 degrees... high mount got hot while i moved the car from one house to another on a 20 minute freeway drive... and thats how my bonnet lining caught fire...

Yeah this is wjat i was looking at with dual relay and a switch per window. Depending on the current, if I can find a good mometary DPDT switch that will take high current, ill use it direct, with the relay just for switching windows off when ignition power is off. From what ive seen, lots of manufactufers do it, hence the lots of arcing amd carbon burn in switches over time.

Wait until you realise there's now a fastener/driver made called Torx Plus, and a Torx driver fits Torx plus heads. But under hogh torque will strip the driver or head...
