Hey thats melbourne! :)

Was a good event, and a great turnout.. so many nice cars, pity it was dark and raining so couldn't check them all out.

Not sure about the end of the movie though? I was expecting more hijinx.. Like sam was saying, why couldn't they put something more exciting in there? :D

Cheers for the nice day out guys, pity bout the rain, hope my running exhaust during the movie didnt piss off too many people hehe

I didn't really get to meet anyone (but found James), i missed the initial meetup by 5 minutes but managed to find and follow an r34 down (although he got lost too :-) we made it in time fortunately :-)

Had a good time, I thought the movie was pretty cool, was a lot more old fashioned than a lot of action movies, i don't think there was much swearing at all and not too much violence, pretty weird in this day and age.

Well it was a remake :) and a bit of a cash in at that... chase scenes in the original movie may have actually been better from what I remember... they didn't have that awesome part where all the cars drive up onto that "Sydney Myer music bowl" type scene :) That was one of the greatest parts of the original and they neglected to try and top it which was a bit disappointing.

not too much violence

I guess Edward Norton (edit: thanx james :) ) character shooting Donald Sutherland, and then firing his machine gun into the water in an attempt to kill them all wasn't violent... oh and when he killed the informant guy for no real reason.. naw, actually no violence there I could see :):(

more dissapointed the chick Charlize Theron didn't get screwed

i mean she was alone in a hotel and depressed and the guy was there

it was asking for a sex scene!

very disappointed

haha

and just some more... sheet... think i need a hose myself..

....Charlize's naked movie appearances including The Devil's Advocate, 2 Days In The Valley, Reindeer Games, The Cider House Rules and The Yards

There you go chop.. time for u to walk to the video shop.. video card in one hand, box of tissues in the other :):(

err- yeah i guess i was 0wn3d there :-)

i meant it wasnt really bloody gory stuff

or maybe i just coulnt see through the "sock de-mister" smudges :-P

uh.... if a car is made by Nissan, but wasn't made in Japan, is it still classified as "Japanese in origin" because Nissan is a Japanese company??

:D

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
