I welcome any extra competition - Bring it on I say! :)

Me too :laugh:

C'mon Troy, we need the Silvia vs Skyline faceoff!

Troy: You want a 1.35 at Winton with the current setup?? Fark man, that's quick!

Looking at times I have seen from certain cars...I would love to do a 1:35.99. But I realistically know that's the one track where my lack of finesse will hurt and would be stoked if I did a low high 1:36. Will be happy with anything in the 1:37s. At 1:41, I need a bullet between the eyes. The car is quicker then that...its just that at Winton I either catch on fire of run out of fuel :(

What did Chris do around there last year, I thought it was a 1:35??

Though Winton suits our cars I think, light and nimble.

Yeah. 1.35.5. 1.34 in Snowys car in Dutton '05

Troy your car wont do a 1.35 around winton. I think you will struggle to get lower than a 1.37.5

Nah, the more you drive winton in the R it becomes a GTR track. If you can drive it with the rears on slight spin then you get pulled around the track by the FWD. I think GTR has one up on you guys there too.

Although I did see a mirage kick my ass at a Winton Fri practise day. So it can be done with light and small.

so this is still going ahead? I checked the thread on the REX forum and they were still talking about the cost...Can i assume tis going ahead - for somer eaosn my logon isn't working on the rex forum.

I'm buying new rims and tyres so i hope its going ahead.

PI wil be going ahead.

The thread on the WRX Forum was just a heads up regarding cost so the regs don't freak out when the supp regs are posted.

Argh, we've got no advantage anywhere do we??! :)

The Mirage does 1:10 around Wakefield...and im pretty sure im at least 1.5 seconds quicker there. (I have done a 1:13 on mismatched street tyres, 130-140rwkws)

Around Winton a Mirage does 1:37s. So like i said, i hope to be able to do the same time...but throw a good driver in my car i think it would give a 1:35 a shake

See you kents there, if Ray ever finishes with my damn car!! hoping for mid 1:50's for my first run of the R34 at PI :spank:

If you stop breaking things and buying cheap parts off ebay it might spend more time in your garage not his.

Just my 2 cents :ninja:

:P Cheap parts off ebay? Riight... I've bought heaps of parts off ebay. None of them have given me any issues, so maybe you should find out what your talking about first? The time it's taken is because of custom work required due to the head/bottom end differences and getting the plenum and getting the throttle body, TPS, TCS, idle control, etc. all working.

At least I can run a track day without lunching my synchos.. ;) Just my 2c..

Not sure if you call a HKS copy turbo a quality part, but I suppose when you start putting GTRguards, GTR rear difuser and GTR off set rims on a GTT you can think many weird things...

As to the synchros, as mentioned in previous posts, my bad, I shouldn't have gone out with a worn clutch. live and learn.

Also, at least I can keep it off the wall...even if I only go to the track once a year, it's still off the wall :O

Just admit it, you have GTR envy :P

Nick, it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about so I wont have to say any more. HKS copy? ;) Like you're an expert. But that's ok if you like to think so. Indeed... my 'GTT' was faster than your GTR around Winton... so why would I have to envy?

When you finally get your new clutch I'd love to go faster than you again with my "HKS copy" 2835 pro-s. Any time champ. :P

No I'm not the expert but turbo place that inspected it are :)

Like I said in the previous post.. I don't hit walls :D

You might have been quicker which all comes down to practice, but if you want to make this a dick thing by saying your car is quicker than mine or (or your d..ks bigger than mine) ...well we both know the truth to tha now don't we......Mine on both occassions. LOL

You might be dumb enough to push it to the limit and care if you hit a wall so if taht will make you quicker, so be it :)

It's all a bit of fun Matt.

:laugh:

My turbo is fine, certainly has plenty of response, actuator holds boost and it meets the HKS specs, can you believe it actually has the same comp housing and wheel trim of HKS? Outrageous. How silly of me to think it's genuine. :wave: Excess heat was the cause of my issues with the turbo.. just ask Ray why. But if you'd rather talk to the 'turbo place' that doesn't even have the equipment to balance a turbo cartridge because they're turbo experts (who've never seen a HKS exhaust housing before) then be my guest!

I never mentioned anything about Dick size, but since you brought it up.. perhaps you're the one with envy? LOL. That's ok, yes I hit the wall due to a stupid mistake in wet conditions from being impatient - that's not what I'd call pushing the limits :D But you know what? At least I'm out there having fun. Maybe you should care more about your lap times if you want to start talking about GTR envy :)

All a bit of fun :wave:

    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
    • He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.
    • Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work. 
    • Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me
