Spotted a nice Stagea today on NE Road... plates RBB025 or something similar, that's Reuben's car if I recall correctly. Waved but didn't see me :)

Hmm, I was driving up and down Grand Junction to St Agnes that day, but not on NE road. My plates are RRS250 anyway :D

bout 45 mins ago i got overtaken by a blue R34 GTR in Athelstone on a road with 1 lane going both ways.

Normally, i'd hurl some abuse, or salute the middle finger at people that do that! But f*&^; what a nice car! Sounded great too!

spotted a white 33, black rims with chrome dish i think, with a smashed up front end on the back of a tow truck at ttp, about 5:30 tonight.

also, black 33 with plates WATUGOT at kfc on NE rd around 6ish.

Mark, beleive there was a private track day today at Malalla with some nice machinery out there. Andrew (Nightcrawler) was there too if I recall correctly

yes the track day was awesome, 3 r33 gtr's, 2 r34gtr's ,gallardo, 430 ferrari, 2 gt3 porsches , a 997 porsche, a r8 slappadore, 3 evos, jza80 supra and me. skyline beat supra by the way.

Spotted MissR34 out in kadina at the show and shine. I was over the other side with all the holden ppl. Would have come over and said hi, but we were there not even half an hour. Had a quick look around, then left. Went back to pt wakefield for sumthing to eat. Not much was happening out there. Wanted a look at that monster truck but he drove off just after we got there :banana:

    • Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.
    • It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...
    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
