  1. But the streak goes on...da-da-dum da-dum Pip trading done right
  2. Does Pulsar use an intermediate shaft across the back of the engine?
  3. Gf getting makeup done so that might work well...I live pretty close to you now I think.
  4. So my point all along is, forget about your 375rwkw, pick out a small turbo that will produce around 300rwkw on E85 and be happy with that. E85 isn't a permission slip for dyno queens to put their printed charts on their rear parcel shelves, itjust makes good setups even better. I bet most of these high powered E85 setups, yours included, would be horrible to drive on their 98 tunes too.
  5. Road surface can make a big difference but I'll believe this when I see it On 50% 265 AD08Rs 0 degrees superstreets with a KAAZ 1.5 way I couldn't get 2nd to hold 275rwkw on most non-freeway roads So either something not right with my setup or our power figures aren't matching up
  6. The difference between my 98 and E85 tunes was all in the timing, no boost adjustment. The 98 was pinging when we pushed it to 260rwkw so we dialed back to 252. The E85 did 275rwkw safely and the midrange saw 40rwkw gained. The rationale is, why stress the engine and components when you can make it safer than your safe 98 tune was, with heaps better response and power.
  7. Disclaimer chequered tuning?
  8. London rallied up 12% lastnight Not sure if recovery from their 7% drop the other night or some sort of push Should be a positive day for us in Aus
  9. Huh? I gained 40rwkw in my midrange and 20rwkw in my top end that even a dangerous 98 tune wasn't going to give me. It's +1 for the Z32/PFC/555s/040/Highflow crowd dude...there's good reason so many do it and don't bother going further. Amazing engines but even without your bad luck they have their limitations. And I've said it time and time again; unless you're running Mickey Thompsons you're not getting anything more than 320rwkw to grip the first 2-3 gears in a RWD Skyline. Wasted power and unnecessary lag.
  10. You defeat the point of going to E85 if your setup on 98 sends you wheelspinning / blowing engines already. Use the fuel to make an already well setup vehicle even better. You can't polish a turd, even with alcohol.
  11. RIP? It's a pip down chicken licken
  12. London down, we've followed, I'm locked in now... Could this be the end of the streak?
  13. It's possible. Contrary to what you may think, I'm actually for supporting Australians in keeping Australian jobs, and against free market deciding that. My criticism of the CUB action is that it feels like short term win and potential long term loss - money in the weekly pocket over the 5 year profitability of a publically traded company that has to compete with imported product. The supportive action for Australian manufacturing and jobs needs to come from the government and be targeting consumers, not twisting the arms of Australian based businesses struggling to compete in a world market, or propping them up with bailouts. Without tariffs and government action to drive support for local business, and with a disposable society + increasing quality goods coming out of China/Korea, consumerism in Australia will turn / has turned to the lowest bidders in exchange for being able to afford more material goods. These Asian countries have much lower standards for working and living conditions than us, we simply can't compete on anything except quality and innovation and one day they may be the only areas where jobs are available. Online shopping is a huge driving force in this and if you engage in it whilst complaining about Australian jobs being given to offshore people then it's a tad hypocritical; I think most of us are guilty these days.
  14. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry_in_Australia#Current tick tock
  15. Unsustainable production in Australia will win the war Congrats to the 55 though...they can blame management in a few years time when the brewery shuts down and sacks 1000
  16. Strong rear view awareness when I hog the right lane, thought you'd give chase Compulsory stop for the evo's catch can fuel tank?
  17. I'll win the bet Whether he coughs up or not is a different story I'll just steal his Saturday chicken from him
  18. Yep!
  19. If you wanna be sure to pass the scrutiny of those walking past your car with an electron microscope in hand then you probably fork out for FI For everything else, there's ma...some other detailer.
  20. Yes polish is microabrasive, so will eventually damage/fade the stickers, if not the first time. IMO get a professional to do the polishing (easy to fk up and hard to master) and then wax it yourself (hard to fk up and easy to master).
  21. lol Very happy with my RP tune and will prolly head back there for a touch up soon. Can't fault their work myself - the only reasons I went to Barry for the R is that RP had trouble fitting the car in and then I started dreaming of 26/30 awesomeness, which Chris isn't a fan of. Love dropping in on Barry now though, it's like seeing family I've been there that many times. R33 GTS-T is also the most reliable Skyline ever...they are notoriously difficult to kill without the aid of power poles or thieves haha
  22. Pfft who needs rear calipers at all
  23. GTS-T is RacePace tuned so I get the e-fame benefits of being a RP customer and not being one
  24. R35 doesn't seem to have a problem doing it
