From Powerplay: Thanks for your enquiry. The Nismo Link Set prices is as follows: Front Circuit Link Set RHS 54501-RS585-R $480 IN STOCK Front Circuit Link Set LHS 54502-RS585-R $480 IN STOCK From me: Ow. Maybe if I named dropped?

The magazine in question is still on sale....

Because he had piss poor traction. It is that simple. On the up side the suspension didn't fall off the Red Bull for a change. Oh and if the Beeb is taking the GP's & giving up the champions league what does that mean for the SBS broadcasts?

Not sure if this is the right spot to post, but anyway. I am looking for some new rims for my R32 GT-R. The CE28's fit the bill, but I cannot find a photo of a white 32 R with those rims. NEarest I can find is below. Can anyone weave some photoshop magic & change its colour for me so I can get an idea as to whether the rims look any good or not? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help...

Any chance of a pic of the rods?

I was just trying to indicate that the more efficient the island you are on for the compressor the less heat the compression of the inlet air will generate thereby easing the load on your intercooler and lessening the temps into the engine. Sorry if that is obvious or known but I can never work out at what level to pitch answers at on the forums. You have to be a bit carefull with the exhaust flows. If you look at the graphs for the turbines what counts is the pressure differential (as you say) - given the maximum efficiencies of the turbines are only about 70% the more more consistant the gas flow the better the outcome would be my best guess. I would expect a higher PR would result in a lower efficiency hence lower compressor performance. So a more consistant flow ie 3 pulse events, not 1 would give a better outcome. But that is only supposition.

Who's gallon? The Seppos have a different (lesser) amount in their gallons than the empire does. 1 US gallon equals 3.785 litres. 1 Imperial gallon equals 4.546 litres.

I have a pair of 28/60 707150-5's on an RB26 running 435rwhp. There is no one at home at anything below 4000rpm but it is making its 15# boost by 4500rpm. 9# at 3900rpm. With your lower compression & smaller capacity yours will obviously be laggier. My cams are 260 degrees (Both) On the up side the compressor on the dash 5 is very efficient which should help temps. To be honest with your set up I would be looking to use something other than common or garden 98 octane. Otherwise it will just be laggy & therefore slow. By the way (sorry if this is already obvious) 10lb/min airflow from the compressor equates to approx 10hp at the flywheel. This is usefull as you can plot how the motor & compressor work together by plotting the airflow on the compressor map.

Well said.

Maybe they will one day learn (the fully sik brigade, that is) that the quick people are the ones who tend not to say much, nor explain much but who just go out on the circuit & hose everyone. On the upside it may demonstrate to a few people that talking a good lap & driving one are two different things. On the downside it will wear my teeth down because I grind them whenever I hear the words grip driving or time attack or hearing people saying stupid shit like "If you fit such and such you will improve by 2 seconds a lap" or whatever. Phaark me finding 2/10ths is a bloody good day. Anyway I hope this thing is a great success & flushes out some good cars from some good workshops. Not the bling graphics/leather interior chrommies stuff but the proper track tuned goodness that is usually hiding beneath a dust cover in a corner somewhere.

Yeah that is for the kit of three parts. Upper link bracket, transverse lower link & caster rod. Price is also PER SIDE.

Well it is/was already popular. Just that the fuly sik brigade was largely ignorant of its existance. Thanks to a few magazines hype-mongering those happy days have now passed. This is from near on three years ago....

Um Not so much. Something in the gearbox/ATTESSA system has gone blah - probably a bearing, so I have it booked in to get it checked after Easter. Thought it best to let it feel some wrath (ok, neglect) in the interim.

Hmm, maybe Nismo do something for the lower transverse arm: http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competi...ylinebnr32.html http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competi...ylinebnr32.html

I found this in my travels: http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competi...ylinebnr32.html Specifically the upper link bracket and the transverse link are interesting. Shame there is no really specific dimensional info offered, although some lengths etc are quoted.

Actually they both are rear engined. I was just trying to make the point that when drafting regulations you have to be a bit carefull of unintended consequences. But doubtless you already know that.

Here are my entries:

Well all engine failures are electrical. Especially when a piston spits out the side of the block & nails the alternator. Anyway I guess it is so much better for the PR people if they can blame another team for their own inability to write proper code.

I ran some sad roadies on a track in my GT-R once. Bashed the living hell out of the tread blocks. Buffed tyres, anyone?

Want to win = spend some coin, same as always. My point was (is) that there are plenty of people out there who would want to run in the road car class on R compounds. I would suggest more people fall in that category than those wanting to run on road tyres in the street car class. Allowing R comps would both boost entries & improve the spectacle. But that is just my opinion. We never seem to have any issues in getting road registered car entries on R comps where I am from. I did. Its just that the rules killed off Porsches in the same way the internet has killed sarcasm. I was being sarcastic. Not that it matters.

Which (to my mind) shows up the fundamental problem in forcing people to run "road" tyres. They end up having to buy new (shit) tyres to be anywhere near competitive, thus negating the whole point of the exercise. Anyway. Good luck & go the Porsches. Eh?

According to the the old publicity handouts the wheels/tyres were as follows: Rims: 18' (Group A were allowed 2" up on standard) Tyres: 265-680 x 18 Yokohamas, obviously. It doesn't give a rim width unfortunately but I think I can find it.

That is clearly bullshit. Harold Holt was never knighted.

You are kidding, right?

Classy. I like their drink bottle, too.
