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:

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
