Was pretty shocking to see so many cars on the track at one go. If a car in front spins out, there won't be much space for the car behind to react.

In the photo in between the yellow R34 and white 33 is this car which i don't think should belong in the same group. :P

You would know wouldn't you? I'd stay far away from you if i was ever at the track...funny how you would have the cheek to comment about that car when you've been blown away by a NA starlet at winton while you were in your 250rwkw R34...

Ha so?

I 'blew away' a white GTR in a NA Datsun 1600. No bullshit.

you see, limpus hasn't been to Winton, hasn't even seen the track before, just love to step on my tail... he has no idea what that starlet has... just for starters, stripped interior? full on track car?

I had 250rwkw yes, full street trim, falken 326 tyres which everyone knows they are crap, my first time on a race track. Think that kinda justifies everything. Winton is not about how much power you have in your car, it's about how well your car is set up. I've seen 280rwkw GTRs been beaten by a stripped and well driven 180rwkw S14 on that day.

Nice Trev.

I know who you are now. You're one of the loud pedders crew! haha.

Looks like fun. Is that the one going through about 3litres a lap?

Yes I am part of that crew, but not the loud one, that is the guy driving (owns) the VL.

It is fun, and yes it goes through a lot of fuel - :D

Did I scrutineer your car, or was it done under the roof? It looks familiar.

It was done under the roof...isnt that where all the scrutineering is done?

I attend all fun days, and i was at the sprints to following day...

i was there as well, just came down to have a watch. was there with my mate dave who brought his r33 gtst there (the unregistered two tone blue/grey one) same colour as mine haha.

anyway was a sick day! whos coming to the skyline nationals at winton on saturday??

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 馃槩, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
