Hi peoples. We're back from our two months holiday in Europe. We drove just over 13,000kms across six countries and had an absolute ball. I can't tell you how much I LOVE the Autobahns in Germany. No Toll, no bumps or potholes, just perfectly smooth tarmac and no speed limits on most of them. We found out that our brand new 1.6 turbo diesel Peugeot redlined at 195km/h in 5th gear and wouldn't go any faster :D And also that it's a kind of a special feeling when you overtake a cop car at 165km/h and they don't even look at you. Oh and when ze krazy germanz overtake you when you're cruising on 170km/h and they accelerate away from you like you were doing 60.

When we flew out of Paris, it was 35 degrees there so it's been a bit of a shock coming back to sunny Canberra. This place was one of the highlights. Can anyone guess where this pic was taken? :iluvff:

Sure did. I still can't get the grin off my face. That place is so addictive that you just want to keep going back for more laps, and each time you become more and more confident and faster as you learn the track. Next time we're definately hiring a race car.

These are some of the machines we shared the track with:

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
