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 :))

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
