I'm sure a fair fw birds have ripped some epic skids on Tas' car already.

Hey Tas, can you check your jacket n stuff to see if you've got my spare ceffy keys? I can't seem to find em.

So spent all of yesterday unloading a container full of parts that came to Driftline. one of the parts was a complete R32 tail cut (cut just behind the rear struts), so you have boot floor, rear bumper, support, tail lights, bootlid etc. In gunmetal grey no less.

Also scored a free S13 brake assembly with R32 GTSt calipers for the ceffy. w00t.

to be honest it has rained so much it actually cleaned my car..after all that hard elbow grease waxing my car it actually works :) looks so nice..so tempted so start it up and see the blue mushroom cloud come out

oh yeah there's now about 12 sets of suspension including ANOTHER set of tein HA's. hehehe will post pics when I get the chance. I might grab a set of cheaper JIC's for the ceffy in a few weeks once my paycheck comes in. There were also two turbos... one was a japanese S15 turbo (ball bearing T28) and the other was an RB25 turbo.

hey guys bit off topic from your 70+ page discussion but i was wondering if anybody might have issue 154 of hot fours, rather than start a thread about it. i'm trying to track it down, it's out of stock so i can't order it as a back issue, my car's in it and i'd just like a copy, be happy to pay decent money if anyone happens to have it and doesn't mind parting ways...

cheers,

jay

lol emo is denied!

angel eye ones hey? they look pretty cool..

nah the ones that i get are the standard HID conversion kit.

i will have to hunt around for those ones though.. looks nice..

i don't give a rats arse if they have angel eyes or not... I need an HID that comes with a lens that's less than 3" diameter and is able to take a H4 dual beam.

so I can put it in this:

    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
