Hmm ...

Collected from importers in Sydney ... had 32,000kms on the clock then ... drove it back to Adelaide!

Drove it to Wagga Wagga and Canberra and back to Adelaide a month or so ago.

Driven to work every day and cruises on weekends.

Driving it this Thursday to the Phillip Island MotoGP for the weekend.

I'm racking up the mileage ... how about you? :)

i got my car at 56xxx , those 4,000ks have been driving around the streets and the hills :blink:

and i need new tyres and rego tomorrow and im unemployed !

the costs of hobbies these days :)

while your talking about wiring, are you any good with headlight wiring Ryan?

my parkers(angel eyes, just the led ring and dash lights) come one when my door is opened. they turn off when i shut my door, and still work fine via the headlight stalk.

could that mean that the person that wired them up somehow crossed them with the interior light switch, so its turned on when the door is open?

Anyone know how look boost worx are booked out for? Ring them anyways tomorrow to find out, thought someone might know, need a massive service done before i start driving again, been 5 months just sitting around. Want to find out what a few other 'problems' are with it also.

i actually didn't mind it the track they used and camera angles were crap but on the whole the show wasn't to bad of a rip

i was suprised that they didnt really show us the track before they started chucking car on there.

i guess im just real picky and dont like change :) original top gear ftw!!! :)

was good seeing you again at the dinner btw steve, hadnt seen you in ages haha

Sorta same question as above^ but diff

my cars been off the road for nearly what 3 months now? something like that anyways there starting to paint it this week just gotta find a front bar..probs gonna go aftermarket coz cant find the aero bar for the 32. Anywho what i'm asking is should i change the oil n oil filter n maybe coolant as its been just sitting there for the 3 months its been off the road??

Oh and also where abouts is Aussie dyno as im probs gonna take my car there from now on as everyone seems to be saying good things about em and im sick of fishers.

Cheers guys n gals

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
