Frankly I am glad Webber did what he did. It was a racing incident but as the commentators and Webber dsaid. Vergne seemed to stay wide and then apexed later. Showing a quicker car the inside was a bit silly but was his corner and able to turn in. I think Webber having to pit in a few laps wanted to keep the hammer down and had a punt. Good to see a bit of aggression back in Marks driving...shame it didnt pay off. Not sure I agree with the 3 spot penalty. It wasnt that much of a botched attempt in light of the line Vergne took. But a weekedn to forget for Webber and will be interesting hwo he bounces back when they first arrive back in Europe. He always goes well and would be a change of fortune if he actually had a good result in Bahrain. I am not holding my breath Massive congrats to Disco Dan 7TH! All in all I enjoyed the race. Hamo, Kimi all punching away. Massa seemed to get really dicked with having to stay out that lap longer and know idea what has happened to the pace Romain had last year Gutted for the guy

Std issue is if it's an R32 then you need to put an RB25 in it. If its an R33 then you need an RB30. If its a GTR you need 05s. That about sums up Forced Induction For tyres do a serach in Suspensionthread

Really want the radiator gone. Nobody wants a new replacement with the convenience of std fitment?

Sunday bumpage

Dan had a cracker...Webs a shocker

No matter what we do with the gate, boost falls over from 19psi to 14psi as soon as the gate opens. If anyone has any ideas then I am all ears. As is it is only making 280rwkws with 14psi from about 4,500rpm to red line. Ramps up to 19psi nicely at about 350rpm earlier than the RB20 (even with the much larger rear housing) but then just boost immediately trails off So the 20G would be a rather good setup and may come back and keep it if I can get my head around how to stop the boost drop off. If I could get it to hold 18psi I am pretty confident the compressor would be maxed out and it would have 300-310rwkws and a good spread of power and torque with the ability to ram ignition down its throat in the top end to keep the torque flat. But suspect I am maxing out the flow of the turbo so the 45mm gate may be too big for the setup and probably need a 38mm gate or something...thats a change I am not willing to make so. The 73HTA is on and ready to be rolled onto the dyno once I get a M11x1.5 to 3AN connector for oil feed. Hopefully the boost issue isnt repeated as I hope there isn't something wrong with the gate.

But why spend the money on helmet, HANS and harness for club stuff. I wont bother....but I have a $5 head The speeds and nture of club cars and sprint events ... i think you are far better investing in a cage or other things

Hmmmm...wanting these still. If buyer comes through with money for turbo and tyres....unless you want to swap.... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/423379-2953018s-ao50-soft-compound/

I want to put aJudd V10 in it. But at 100k never going to happen. I have often wondered why people put Chevs in them when for US 5-8k you can get a Viper V10 I have thought a lot about it but this is my street-club car and struggle with minor mods let alone something like that No to L series....yes to triples!

Why go for an RB30 when you can have E36 M3 Series II displacement ?

I didnt find that. All it did was allow me to run more ignition and boost and make more power. Didnt do anythign meaningful for response. ...seat of pans was that it was perhaps laggier but that may have been the result of too high an expectation for results

A bit disappointed to be selling these but reality is they will sit around for another 6 months before I get around to trying to source a rim suitably big and able to fit into my cars guards (lowly GTSt ) They have done 2 sessions at last years Superlap and estimated to have done about 6-8 laps. Currently in my mates garage in Sydney. Asking $1800 + delivery. New quoted ~ $600 a tyre

Engine is meant to have new GTR valve springs. No signs that there is anything wrong with the engine at the moment, Seems all setup related. Not really a problem...just a combo not really working well together....which is to be expected when you throw 500cc at a 2L setup. I am with you...the only thing that helps with the disdain I have for this motor is that its cheap and looks like an RB20, so is 2/3 the recipe of an RB20

"I would do it again"..."but I am sorry and apologised to the team and meant it" Its good to have someone to hate in sport. Thanks Seb “Had I understood [the coded Multi 21 message] and had I thought about it, reflected on it, thought what the team wanted to do, to leave Mark in first place and me finishing second. I think I would have thought about it and I would probably have done the same thing. He didn’t deserve it. “There is quite a conflict, because on the one hand I am the kind of guy who respects team decisions and the other hand, probably Mark is not the one who deserved it at the time.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5rxYjk_eFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hikMrZwojs

The sh1t coming out of Vettels mouth the last 24 hours. He is upping the ante and assuming the Schuey crown. Seems the nice guy mask has been dropped and Horner and co's reaction or lack of reaction has empowered him. LOL, game on. $100 that Webz and him clash at least twice more before year is out

I doubt a 6 throttle setup would make any different to spool and response. Throttle response would be sharpened but i doubt its going to make any significant difference to where the turbo spools. If you run the std RB25 inlet then I can see it adding lay even it if does sharpen throttle response. I have a Blitz adaptor kit which I plan on using but no way I am putting that on and testing differences. That will be going on my other motor and its going to be very different so will never truly know. But my engine builder has put 26 internals into a few RB25s as he sees that as a better street setup than going to RB26 mostly due to the NVCS and the long runners of the std RB25 plenum. That all said, squeezing that air into an 8cm housing makes a difference...how big I dont know. Will throw up the graph of the 1/2-2/3 tune to see how it looked. It was way more responsive than a GT-RS on an RB25etc

Not meaning to be cryptic other than the fact that I now swim in muddy waters with a farking RB25 The 20G (Will refer to it as that) is the same old turbo I have run since 2003. It is a 55/65mm 12 blade turbine. It is running the 12cm housing The 73HTA (Will refer to it as that) is a little bit custom. It runs a FP 73 HTA compressor and a newer 11 blade version 55/65mm turbone. I am going to swap the 20G 12 cm housing onto this turbo so this is going to be a good bacl to back test The T67-25G runs a 10cm and is all as Trust shipped it. Ditto my TD06H-25G (Will refer to it as the 25G) with 10cm. That means the T67 has a 54/61mm 11 blade turbine and the 25G has the largest turbine at 58.8/67.2 12 blade turbine I am hoping the 73HTA turbo gives me better than T67 response and the same, if not more power. Ultimately thats what I am hoping. It is being back to backed with the 20G just to understand the differences between all the turbos and its a relatively easy bolt off-on proposition. I expect the T67 is the fall back option if the 73HTA doesnt work out, even if lack of performance can be put down to the 12cm housing. Posting in this thread as Kando do so many Mistu based turbos seemed the best place to compare the results of Mitsu based turbo combinations

Thats the trick...std manifold. They do mess with performance rather badly. I know people rate them and say they work...but from a performance standpoint jn my view they dont work But understand the many other reasons why you may run a std manifold So I suspect a car with an aftermarket exhaust manifold on E85 could live with an 8cm housing longer then a car running the std manifold. I think the other catch is I dont think the backl pressure and heat woudl allow a 98 setup to work well either.

Would love to be down there kickign tyres and buying cement mixers for everybody! Enjoy you lucky buggers!

Horner is almost a big a flog as Vettel. Come on Mark...dig deep. You have to think Webber is goo for a podium but get the feeling tis is going to be very tight with Lotus, Fezz, RBR and Merc.

Nope. Trust 3 bolt

LOL...really? Something very different between our setups then. I was hitting 18psi at 3,200rpm or something stupid and show was over with the thing losing its pull over 6,500rpm. It was mega grunty with the 8cm housing. And that was with cams at 0 and only a 2/3 tune. I like the way the 12cm drives but on a very rough tune with no ignition the 12cm housing has generally added 800-1,000rpm to response. Would be far easier and nicer to drive with the way it delivers its power. Will see if we get any of theloss in response back with the changes we made today....the car got pulled off the dyno due to another car needing some urgent work. Will keep looking for a 10cm housing but think the T67 will go on before a find the right sized housing for the 20G. That will be the real test as I am pretty sure we have maxed out the compressor on the 20G so the question is will the billet wheel flow more with the TD06-12cm vs the T67-25G 10cm . That will be the real interesting test. Smaller, lower flowing turbine with a 78mm cast compressor wheel VS a larger higher flowing turbine with a lighter, smaller billet 73mm compressor with the larger 12cm housing. I would go straight for the proven 10cm if I had one so ...no other choice then to waste tuners dyno time with my games

LOL, You would be surprised that its not really that many. And the mods I have done to my car in total only add up to maybe 3 sets of semis. Mods are hopefully not consumables. Over 2k for tyres is scary. So...if anyone wants a set of 295/35/18 AO50 soft compunds that have only done two sessions at Superlap last year on an EVO then hit me up. I was going to try and squeeze them onto my car but the cost of new rims etc means I dont care to do it anymore
