Ill put it on a disc for you bish

I have to head over to the inner west today - ill leave it in your bucket of bolts :nyaanyaa: - is it still with Nathan?

All good mate, thanks for the offer... but got a mate already burning it for me :)

And no the bucket of bolts is not @ Nathans.... going back on Sat

by all means burn me one steveo. :nyaanyaa:

All done mate.....its sitting here on my desk - come to the Palm Beach cruise? I can give it to you then

Or i could give it to Nick?

Whatevers best for you

Who was it that wrote off the last silvia? :D

Hahahaha.... thats right!!!

And who was the one encouraging me to go flat out through the first kink - as its the only way to make ground with the little silvia as everyone just passes by on the straights...

(Not sure if you were saying go faster or slow down - hard to pick up on what you were signaling from inside the car).

Yeah - some good watching there!

I vote Aaron comes to all trackdays from now on

hahahaha ok

Ill bring the tripod and stuff next time to get some nice chasing action shots.

I were limited to wall huggers because of no press pass to get on track and shakey hand syndrome lol

*hugs tripod :D

Hahahaha.... thats right!!!

haha, i know i was just shouting 'push. push' as you went past each time. fatz was just giggling and trying to see how much of the exhust was left. lol

nice vid aaron. is there any more footage that was edited? If so could you maybe burn it for me? Obivously keen on anything of either spencer or myself driving the alfa :D

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
