yeah, to be honest I think I could only fit in the RZ as it has the recaros. they are fixed back and mounted very close to the floor, and they have special rails that allow the seat to pivot up or down on the rear mount too. with stock FD seats I'd not be so comfortable. sunroof would be a killer too. but I don't really suffer for head room, it's just the cabin space around the legs. actually if I swapped the wheel for a smaller one with a 60mm spacer (to bring it closer and give more knee clearance) or so this car would feel perfect.

well come have a drive next time you are in sydney. :P

I know you are bit taller than me (i'm 6'2") but you may be ok. since it doesn't ahve rear seats too the front seats can slid a looong way back. I went for a decent blast before and I have to say it feels pretty fast. surprisingly torquey down low too.

I may just take you up on that! :(

But then I think I'd have to sell up and buy one :P I've been close to doing that so many times it's not funny... if it ain't a rotor, then it ain't a motor!

yep, I do love a good wankel. :P

Yea nothing like a good NSU. Nice set of wheels you bought Baron,,,Me,,,I'm Horsley man.

With the limiited experience I've had with the odd rotor,,,Nothing less than 1000 kays on the track or dyno will do.

Forget the early posts,,,90% of the running in is not done in the 1st 15 minutes on any motor thats going to see lots of race use. The last 200 Kays are the make or break of a great engine. Be nice to it at the beginning,,,nothing more than 4500 and just gradually move up through the rev range. Rotors love to rev but have crap touque so you shouldn't load it up to much. Labouring the engine is not good,,,let it free rev,,,even using a lower gear than you would normally use. It's frustrating but it's all for a good cause.

I miss my old Sports Sedan sometimes.

Haha at comments :)

I'm lovin those recaros! I have to get me some.. oneday.. :)

Good bit of info there Neil I will take what you have said onboard! I will post up my final dyno runs when the time comes.

Cheers

Liam. :)

Love to see your dyno results when there done.

My last race car was a 73 Ford Capri sports sedan. Lovely car but it was high mantainance. It weighed about 800 kilo's so it was a lot of fun. I always wished I had big bucks to buy new housing etc but always ended up using 2nd hand stuff with new factory rotors.

From memory my early 13bpp on 51mm weber made 178kw's at the wheels,,,the next one with some improvements made about 190kw's and the last one on injection and wolf3d made 232kw's.

Nice work Neil! :) do you have any pictures? 800kg's! bloody oath it would have been fun!

I hopefully would like to attend the next series of Superlap but being in melbourne it would be a costly excersise haha does anyone know if they will be running that event in 2009?

Cheers

well my 7 is going good. motor feels nice and free now and not blowing any smoke at all, or using any oil or coolant. it's amazingly torquey. which was a real shock to me. even just putting around shifting at 4,000rpm it was still nice to drive but it really does want to rev. :banana:

Sweet FD mate, really like the RZ's. Would love to try one on the circuit instead of the GT-R one day!

I have a Series 6 motor in my Datto with a GT35/40, awesome to drive, wish it handled and braked so that I could take it for a few laps haha

Cheers mate I just sent the email. :O

    • 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?  😛
