White 34 series Stagea on Allara Street at about 1:50pm, looked stock

That was me... or at least my car. Only had it a few weeks now.

Yes - very stock except for Nissan 17" wheels.

Mods on the way!

PS. I wave.

heh I might have looked at bit odd cos I actually crossed the road on foot right in front of you while you were stopped... might have seemed a bit odd if you had this person standing on the road in front of your car waving at you :(

I hope that GTR owner is alright! And if he is then i hope he is getting rid of some bits from the wreck. Sounds like it was yummy car before the accident.

ok its definately not bob's car (thank god). for those who read the mags doing the rounds, bob owns that autostyle r33 w/ the gt-rs turbs/leather int/etc etc that featured a few months ago in hpi.

but that 33 was a sorry sight indeed! i'm very curious to know who owned it cos methinks, judging by the damage, him/her might've been a bit battered and bruised at the very least! :D

if the owner wants to donate the sexy ap's or the volks i shotgun!!!! :P

spotted an r34 GTR at the formal at lakeside tonight which i'm a bit undecided on..

had almost a harlequin sort of paint, primarily with a purple colour, big 19" or so chrome (or really polished) mags....just didn't do the GTR badge justice

also spotted who i think was graham (pirater), P plate gunmetal 32, and NJR34TT

    • Well I had 2 choices from then on. I either had to (reluctantly) move it on to another potential buyer and take the loss on the chin. Or I stick with it and turn it into a restoration project. I chose the latter. Project Snowstorm began! The frp body kit was the first thing to go. Turns out the original colour used to be silver. The Neo and gearbox were removed, along with the prop and exhaust system before it took a trip to the bodyshop, where I wouldn’t see it again for quite some time due to the pandemic hitting very soon after they took it away. Eventually, progress began and damage assessments made. Even the front chassis leg was in pretty bad shape!     Then the chopping commenced. For these guys it was just usual routine, to me it looked absolutely terrifying!   More to follow as I’m struggling to focus on my screen at 12:45 am!!!
    • That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers, 
    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?
