All it takes is a bit of practice, and I've had too much practice :laughing-smiley-014:

I think I did it about roll 2, so it should be fine. Was the last time I did it, and that one ended up on the roof as well.

Our first outting with the Dry sump was today. Oran park south circuit

Absolute success. Few minor dramas like the just jap silicon piping spliting and restricting it to 8psi, and rear brake issues but other wise it managed a 50.2 with stuff all power (sub 250Kw id assume)

Time to pull it all apart and switch shells now!

i was at OP on Sat arvo/night, went and watched Niel in the Radicall, looked like heaps of fun. Also met Duncan so good to be able to put faces to names. Was surprised at the mix of cars that were there. Street cars to race cars. NO SKYLINES. was a RB powered silvia that was quick. Did you go on Sunday?

yeah good to meet you too Stuart. now get your car finished and out there so there is at least 1 skyline around :P

we got the rear cradle back from John on the weekend, we now have a very adjustable rear end. still need to fit the hicas replacement arms to it then it is ready to go in with all the colourful chinese bits bolted on. Glad we bought most of the bits before the $AUD crashed.

but it was too bloody hot to do much on sunday.

Brad you better get a wriggle on, Neil dragged his radical around there in 48.18 on saturday

Duncan,

I think I'll clean up the original crush tubes and weld them to the top and bottom plates that I was going to make up to replace the cradle bushes. This will eliminate the need to add a bush to the bottom when bolting it in and make sure that the holes are exactly the right size.

Only problem is that I'm going to have to root around in the bin to find them. Sometimes I get the good ideas way too late.

I too was surprised at the mix of cars but yes it was a very hot day. Their was a nice clean red r32 gtr there in the arvo when I was out watching Neil but I did't get any laptimes from it.

well the good news is I never got around to putting them in the bin, they were sitting next to it cooling down after their roasting.....

You didn't, but I did. Thank god the kids aren't in nappies any more.

Oh I know that silvia all too well.

I have to see it pretty every day at work.

Ha ha your a funny guy mark,,,I'll bet you don't chew your fingernails anymore either.

Young Brad,,,Duncan's correct,,,but a wriggle on won't cut it. I consider my 48.18 as slow,,,i'm really chasing a 46.

Neil.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
