Oh that is strange. Yes perhaps ceramic + 4wd aren't suited.

The ACS guy said they have been getting the same problems with hi-po WRXs, so they fitted Kevlars in them and they have been good for going on 8 months now... Now they're trying Skylines. Seems promising.

Sorry! Didn't think my little clutch story deserved its own thread.

Welcome and chat away :blink:

mine lasted over a year of everyday driving and launching few times a week

mines made a little more than when yours was stock slimjim if i remeber correctly you made 172RWKW and i was making 177 i think im making a little more now will find out 26th of may @ PGA's dyno day but will be an AWKW reading

Yeah mines now 245rwkW I need to get it on a 4WD dyno though... Did a few medium launches tonight, grips awesome. Tires chirp a bit then I'm off!

Japan sounds great, wish I could go again!! :pwned: But uni calls...

Actually atm I'm in Melbourne courtesy of an oil and gas company- They flew me over for a job interview all expenses paid :laughing-smiley-014:

I generally reside in the nthrn burbs back home

hey peeps...everyone beware of a white 70's model celica from down south, couple of my mates were at a servo down that way last night after a bit of a hills run and 5 dudes came over from that car and started shit, kicked the shit out of a R32 4DR, including cooler, bonnet, roof, front windscreen, the lot. then attempted to steal the car by ripping him out of it. couple of other people's cars were damaged to.. these people will get what's coming to them. be careful people, far to many dickheads running around having no respect for other people's property..

take it sleazy.....ash.

7000 RPM launch is just silly and is not really needed

7000rpm was an example stating he doesn't bounce it off the limiter and drop it. :)

BUT.... You'll find as you run larger turbo's start making more power you'll be required to raise rev's higher to get off the line without it bogging down.

Even the RB20DET GTS4's get off the line nice and easily with bugger all rev's as they boost fairly quickly and make good boost. BIG turbo's tend not to make as much boost in the lower gears, which is why a stock turbo'd rb can hang next to an rb making 100-200rwkw more with a larger turbo until third gear when rolling on the throttle from say 50-60km/h or so.

Thats gotta suck, down south is f**ked these days all the wanks with white nike hats on the side. A club lock always helps out tho.

Nothings changed from 10years ago.... It used to be Hallet Cove and Morphette Vale when I was hooning around in my teens and early 20's.

Walk the streets down at Hallette Cove was extremely dangerous it = guaranteed bashing by the local 'crews'. Morphett vale was fairly bad. Just be smart; don't stare, don't drive like a dick cutting people off and unless you have numbers ignore if some one try's to start shit, simply don't talk back and most importantly know when to zip it and take off as you don't know who they are.

Its everywhere....

When I was young and silly I had my car kicked and punched just out side of town near melbourne street because I wouldn't do a burn out. Pay back was fun but it did leave me feeling a little flat to be honest.

you know my brain is thinking (after drinking a bit)

that it is not smart for some1 to be up at 6am on a Sunday morning

so clearing i'm not smart

(yes i realise i bagged myself out and i don't care :))

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
