Well in good news..break out the defibrillator my 2010 plans have some life left in them.... the lil 32 may be going to Belgium yet. Cant wait to scare the pants off all those Europeans with the noise of the lil 32 :( Means the next few weeks I really have to pull the finger out and get everything on the car sorted...may have to fast track the new engine as well. That is a tougher thing to commit too...but blowing up an RB20 OS doesnt sound too appealing

are you willing to fly pit crew over?

So begins the interstate RB20-TD06 rivalry! :D Farking Queenslanders! :(

ill bring Kerrys 32 and we can have a threesome.......... 3 way state battel

You ruined the hangover for me wooster. couldnt stop laughing inside especialy when you started pulling teeth out.

I need to read up on it again, was about $2500 plus odds and ends, and you get up to 6 months if you apply for a permit in the UK that allows you to drive your car on Aussie rego provided its current. Get that and drive over to Beligium and in the space of 2 hours you have Spa, Nurburgring, Zolder and Zandvoort :( Its an 18 month contract so even if i hate it will be good opportunity to do some travel and in the warmer months drive some cool circuits. Getting too old for this moving around and having to meet new people all the time...but once you make the effort its usually pretty rewarding. Brussles is meant to be pretty easy going with NATO, EU etc means nobody in Brussels is actually from Brussels so easy to meet people

DUDE! definitely want rental of the 32 for spa and ring. promise not to rev the ring out of it like I always do. actually can't promise that. also please let me drive it before wooster as i'm not planning any 'offs' and I really don't want to try and reverse it out of his parking spot up in a tree near the 12km marker at the ring......

    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
    • He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.
    • Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work. 
    • Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me
