    Yeah but to be fair he appears to have been getting better and the better of Kevin lately. Goes postal on the radio which is always amusing. Magnussen is supposedly off to Haas. Guessing he got pushed. Still happy for the Hulk after all this time he may have got a properly good seat. Will see how much coin and how good the Renault is next year I suppose. Reckon Britney will win another race this year?

    Did not expect this: Jolyon Palmer stays put at Renault in 2017. Renault Sport chairman Jerome Stoll says: “The line-up of Jolyon and Nico harnesses the benefits of continuity and fresh blood,” Palmer said. “I am sure that having Nico as a team-mate will help push Jolyon to greater achievements. “We thank Kevin Magnussen for his efforts in 2016 as he has done a great job for us this year. We wish him all the best for 2017 and beyond.” “We have been impressed with his increasingly strong performances on track as the season has progressed.” “We are confident that the combination of Jolyon and Nico Hulkenberg offers a very promising driving force to meet our goals.”

    You can just go through the display and write down the settings if you are sufficiently worried about it. But no, it wont forget.

    Just out of interest what is the model number of the Bilsteins and how long is the shock body?

    3rd gear grind is because the synchro on that gear is the first to start to wear/fail. It wont be the clutch. Filters are largly just filters. Hard to get upspec paper no matter how hard you try. Also unless you are going to the race track any half decent brand of brake fluid is fine. The Sumitomo calipers suck anyway as does the amount of flex in the firewall. If you want a lol get one of your mates to put his foot on the brake while you watch the fire wall flex, from the engine bay side, obviously otherwise it is just going to be wierd.

    Well this is the advert for the car if anyones Japanese is up to snuff. http://www.global-auto.ne.jp/stock/public_stock_detail.php?entry=0180.dat&model=BNR32

    Dont care so much about what it is but I would like to find the thingo that goes in place of the ash tray to fit it there. May well be this: http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product/electronics/boost/evc6-ir24/index.html

    Ludo is off to djrtp. Sweet. Big things are predicted for next year......

    Anyone know who/what/where this may have come from?

    Good race. Many lols. Verstappen gets a penalty for the same thing Hamilton gets away with. Verstappen won't redress because he wants third. Then gets penalised and drops to fifth. Then gets promoted to 4th which is where he would have been had he redressed. Then Lauda pours a bucket of shit on him. Vettel goes postal and gets nothing. Moves around under brakes and gets spanked. Good good. Rosberg looks like he will cruise around in P2 to the wdc. Hoping like hell the new rules for 2017 will include some interesting racing for the lead instead of p3 at best. Newey looks to be half interested again.

    If I remember rightly it is about 10 horsepower per pound per minute of air flow on petrol. NFI what happens with E85.
  12. djr81
    The correlation between air flow and horsepower is much closer than that between terminal speed and horsepower. You don't, for example need to compensate for such minor things as drag coefficients, frontal area, gear change, traction, engine torque characteristics etc etc.

    Most of the guided trips will have you on trains anyway. Seeing as they are so easy for my ten cents worth diy is the go. There isnt alot in Hokkaido other than the skiing. In the middle of Japan there are loads of things to look at. What do you wan to see out of the cities?
  14. djr81
    You can actually do a better job if you can measure the airflow rather than the fuel flow. Do you have afm's? If you can convert the voltage to a flow you can google any number of calculators to convert the air flow to rwhp or engine hp or whatever.

    Yeah just the catch can itself is less than ideal so need a tidy up. The things has a Nismo can on it as a hangover from ages ago and I was just going to replace that with the cyclone.
  16. djr81
    Going to give this a try to see if it helps with the oil puke. Air Cyclone.pdf

    You dont need an accusump. No idea what the fuel type has to do with the sump breathers which vent blowby via a route that is not the head. But it is next to impossible to fit sump breathers with the engine in. You can, if you try hard enough, remove the sump and leave the engine in. It all depends on how much bother you want to go to. If you leave the system as is you will get oil dripping out of the bov's and generally through your induction system. If you vent the catch can to atmosphere you will probably get oil spread around your engine bay. If your engine has a good amount of blowby you will definately get these things happening. You have to fix it properly if you want to fix it and even then it wont be perfect.

    To answer your question - are they stock? No. They are Garrett aftermarket turbos - the dash 7 is the smallest of the range of Garrett's you may chose from. In order of size they are 707160 dash 7, 9, 5 & 10.

    Could you imagine the uproar if that ad was put on Australian TV. The do gooders and the safety nazis would be apoplectic. Still love the double bird salute from the Gibson Motorsport Team to the jeering Holden fans in the photo.
  20. djr81
    This is the ad. Also, this was posted up on the ten tenths forums. SHows the Nissan pits just after the 92 race was declared. Fkn gold.

    Usually one bottle (500ml) is enough to do it all. If you are worried get two bottles, it is cheap enough. For what its worth my brake fluid comes out looking black as night so if it is still the same colour as what you are putting in it shouldnt be such a drama, surely?
  22. djr81
    By the time you are getting to 65 second lap times you will be hating on Sumitomo. Trust me.
  23. djr81
    Well good luck to you. Nice to see someone from Perth having a go. You may want to have a look at Antilag as there are a few GT-R's getting built and written about on that site. Seeing as you asked for criticism I would point to the following as questionable: power fc d-jetro, trust drag intercooler, super stiff coilovers all around, bolt in rollcage. Currently a kitty has been started for an R34 6 speed box conversion. Also if you want a 60 second lap at Wanneroo you will need brakes which probably wont be compatible with 17" rims.

    I usually find the mess is made shortly after you have had to smash a screw driver through the filter just to unscrew the overly tight #$%^ of a thing.

    Should be a couple hundred bucks at the most for the parts and its really a DIY job. THe most you would need is a spring compressor and the spanners to undo the collars.
