Finally bought an electric rattle gun. No idea how I ever coped without one.

Don't be hating on the exhaust port. Remember they twelve valves reduce down to six ports so the cross section isn't at right angles to the port and consequently shows it getting small which isn't really correct.

Tell them the price son.

How much that cost ya?

Rag stuffed in inlet manifold possibly not standard?

You are doing it wrong. Caring about any of the attributes that make a car good means you wont ever buy an SUV.

Got given a busted RB26 head so I had it put through a saw. This one had a ported inlet. This is what the inlet valve looks like at standard cam lift.

The amount of muppetry shown by the journo was impressive. Repeatedly ignored warning lights on the car telling him bad shit was happening. Forgot to mention that bit in the story. Was mentioned earlier in different stories but who cares when you can write saying hundreds of thousands of cars are going to kill everyone's children. Muppets.

Probably badge a Ferrari engine as an Alfa or just throw some coin at sponsorship.

Cant offer a brand but just be careful about whatever they measure amps in. CCA and other amps arent all equal. Are there any brands that dont cost an arm and a leg.

Have an old SA2000 compliant GP Jet and just after a new equivalent. Never had an issue with being allowed to use it mostly because I dont bother with the drags. Still anyone with any ideas. Summit dont have any and other than emailing rhd Japan I havent got much of an idea.

Can go to the locals but as I know what size I want I can just as easily get it in from Japan/US. Any suggestions as to where is cheap?

memory card is of high enough class to record the HD video? Class 10 or some such?

Puncture is the next obvious cause. Have seen tyres destroyed after a puncture and that is what they look like.

What was left of the thing by the time you pulled up/got back? Yes it is possible (Although Id reckon unlikely) to pull the bead off the rim if you went really hard on low pressure and hit a kerb etc. Maybe warm them up at a slower rate would be better. The other way works too but is a lot of stuffing around. But all up it sounds unlikely. The things were stretched on the rims I trust?

Nah mate that's ok NSW is a bit of a drive from home. All I would say is a couple things, actually make that three. 1. Having the damper set soft makes springs feel softer. It is not a good thing however as generally underdamped springs tend not to handle as well as they should. 2. Same, same for under inflated tyres. 3. Hillclimb speed is usually about confidence. It is common to go seconds faster as you build familiarity with the circuit. Anyway good luck to you if you are happy with your car & suspension. Just not sure 13kg and comfortable belong in the same sentence. Your car would have left the factory with a spring rate 3kg/mm or less.

The ABS in the R32 is rubbish anyway - it is slow and generally pretty ineffective. Just be thankful its not all of that and leaking as well. I have found the Brembo setup with the Vspec master cylinder to be a little rear biased in any case so if you are happy with the pedal travel it is probably not far from being ok. Did you fit a master cylinder stopper?

You may want to consider a different master cylinder to match the piston areas so you don't end up with a long pedal.

13kg springs are very comfortable for street use????? What did you use for a benchmark, your skateboard?

Be fine as long as you don't go over 80km/h.

1. No, not really. They don't add much. 2. If you don't have a sump drain you have to drain the catch can itself which is annoying. The separator doesn't need draining which makes it easier. 3. Probably but the merits of all this stuff are debatable. 4. The problem comes about with long periods at full throttle and full revs with cornering forces thrown into the mix. Not something you should be doing on the road. A small amount of blow by will carry a small amount of oil out of the breather of the catch can. Which makes a large amount of mess. The alternative is to scavenge it through the turbo suction (This is what Nissan does) which puts it back through the inlet system. You get oil in your inlet this way but it needs to quite a bit to be a problem. At the end of the day if you are happy with the Hi Octane separator I would run that. If it helps I have one at home I no longer want.

Means Ferrari will be running their engine with the last of the tokens used for upgrades. Be interested to see how it goes. Not sure why Kimi didn't get it. 10 place grid penalty probably wont hurt him anywhere near so much.

Has to laugh at Horner on the tellie back peddling and opening the door on an RBR Renault for next year.

Check the power steering fluid level while you are about it.

You no like boat boost boast?
