Hey CEJAY ...

I know how ya feel dude I had to get a complete exhaust overhaull and remove my window tint to pass a defect last week ...

They are also cracking down hard on lowered suspension so be carefull man ... something about centre of wheel to the guard has to be of a certain clearance not just 100mm road clearance ...

I got an advisory about it ...

I know how ya feel it is shit

Mine was also defected for noise and was given $117 fine ontop

Umm what did you say about that WMI kit? You'll have to dust it off and use it now!!!

maybe, greg has the new engine. might get around to putting the kit in when the engine goes in but that's still a maybe ;)

spotted a nice darkblue R32 GTS4(?) with GTR front and what must be an RB26 near the convention centre - sounded great and looks hot too :)

actually spotted another 2 R32 4 doors that looked nice that day, one white and the other silver.

I see the blue one quite a bit in civic around that location. aggressive looking car :)

I really must dust off my 32 and drive it more! (plus get to know more of you guys, given I've had it more than 5 years.... busy life and kids!)

did you see me wave? lol

Well I was caught off guard so it was more like an awkward 3 finger wave...

nice ride BTW.

right back at ya! hehe :P

nah I didnt see your awkward wave sorry.. I was caught off guard a bit too, I was like "oh bright yellow... oh it's a R34!". Probably didnt help also that I'd just driven back from Jindabyne and was extremely hungover LOL

lol fair enough. When are you showcasing your ride next? I wanna have a look and put two yellow 34s together, lol. I think yours has a lot more cooler stuff than mine though. :)

Im jealous of your nismo kit (i think your car had a nismo kit, lol - im blaming it on being caught off guard again)

haha yeah I have a Nismo kit... was actually trying to remember if you did too... we're such an observant pair LOL ;)

We should definately get them together and compare, take a few pics etc!

How long have you had yours? I haven't seen many around in the yellow... it's good to see another one who is actually on SAU!

Spotted around midnight, an R32 in an orange/bronze type colour, no rear wing, side skirts/body kit cruising next to me over Athlon Drive... :)

    • 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?
