Hi everyone!

I was thinking that since the weather is getting cooler, we should go for a drive and exploit some of our local roads. I was thinking about Sunday 15th of April partially because next weekend is too short notice for some and mainly because it is the Easter long weekend and people are heading off and the threat of double demerits are always looming.

Anyway, I was thinking that we could head north from the museum to coppins crossing, urriara rd, cotter rd, then into tuggers for lunch. If there is anyone interested in coming but doesn't have a ride, post up and hopefully we will have some spare seats and it will help us to get to know each other.

Date: 15/04/07

Time: 11am

Place: Museum

For: A bit of a drive (suggestions are welcome)

I went for a drive out to uriarra crossing on the weekend then came back into town along the cotter. You could easily continue out along to Tharwa as well. It's a nice fun road, but have to be careful of cyclists.

Lol, it's funny you mention that. I ride out there all the time. In fact, I just got back from a ride right (still in my knicks, actually) through Tidbinbilla, through to the cotter and out.

It's a great fun road, but as you said, you have to be careful and watch for cyclists, it's easy to fly around a blind corner and take one out......preferably, not me.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
