Toga party at RE was a fail this year. I drove past it around 10pm and it was quiet. Beer garden only half full, no line to get in. When I worked at the regatta the RE's toga party used to be so big that we would fill the regatta (and full was 2000 or so people) just from the over flow that couldn't get into the RE.

I'm keen assuming it won't cost me much to fix the AC and gearbox and get it registered again. Probably not so keen if that will cost more than a couple of grand.

Also assuming I get a big cheque ;)

wrangling PKF for money (wow audiovisual admins) seems to be pointless.. its amazing how bluechip companies can f**k up and majorly screw over everyone else in the process.. lesson learned - stick with small business.

(been a horrible two weeks and I'm slightly pissed off after losing $2500 to these fk'wits.)

    • 1. Factory knock sensors for now, honestly the RB26 OEM knock sensors seem ok as they're flat response instead of resonant type but they appear to be internally grounded to the block. If I do replace the sensor it would just be to get ones that are not internally grounded so a differential input can be used to reject common mode noise. Definitely plan on fixing this as a part of the tuning process. 2. Never deliberately induced knock, though I guess I could try that experiment if I really wanted to. 3. All of this is basically on a stock engine + ECU, only modification is HKS GTIII-SS turbos and a Nismo plenum. Currently I run it with the wastegate solenoid unplugged so it won't try to raise boost past wastegate pressure.
    • After being peer-pressured into paying $100 for the MW remakes, got BO6 on XBox Game Pass. I think that's worth it.
    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.
