Who? Wetheringtons? The first Wetheringtons was a mobile service that went around to all the goldfields in Victoria so the miners could have their horses dynoed before they bought/sold a horse. The guy who had the mobile service, Arthur Wetherington later set up a workshop in Bendigo which was a great success. The business model was then franchised out to different people and I believe for a short while there was a Wetheringtons franchise in Perth.

Were they related to the pigeon racing wetheringtons from Woy Woy ?

He aw He aw..... He awlways asked this question.

If only the rep buttons were still there, that's a plus one :thumbsup:

Back on topic, I believe that donkeys are the diesel of the animal kingdom, Not huge power, but heaps of torque

That was borrowed from the LULZ thread I believe. The Kings Speech.

Anyway, I will leave you with the history of the boost.

As far as horses making 1.5 HP it is very possible. I mean we all know horses have power-bands, like any engine. You know how when you ride a horse and when you squeeze your boots into it and it goes from a trot to a canter to a sprint and you feel the increase in torque, they called that the "boots" but somewhere along the line it was misread as "boost", so the term boost that we all know so well actually comes from the good old days when we all used horses to get around.

While on the subject of donkeys and horses.

What other animal would you say a donkey would be closely related to?

If you said horse you would be correct. They are in the same family tree as say a cat and a lion. A dog and a bear.

A donkey's DNA and a horse's DNA are so similar that they can actually mate and produce offspring. Only animals with similar DNA can do this. Therefore a cat and a horse could not produce offspring.

Now to my point.

The closest related primate to humans has DNA that is even closely related than that of the horse and the donkey.

Therefore the primate and a human could actually mate and produce offspring.

Food for thought.

I think the point has been missed. When a horse does a dyno pull it's a measurement of how far the horse can actually pull the dyno, converted into horsepower. This may explain the difference between dyno readings, as some dynos are heavier than others. I understand the distance can be improved by the fitment of a Polarhorseariser.

Explains a lot of the dumb shits on this planet lol.

EDIT: I swear the gods are looking down on me some times.

I just got a personal message that explains my DNA fact above.

This was a message I just received from a guy called NSNPWR.

Hey mate, remove head from ass anytime youre ready...let me just say a few things...I, like old mate in that thread ran 12s in my VL with around [email protected] to be precise with 205rwkw (on a DD dyno) out of a single cam RB30...Hiflow T3, T04B front, Haltech ECU, STOCK inlet and exhaust manifolds, STOCK head, baby Waggott cam, Jatco 4 speed and 2800 stall...I have the time slip right here if you' like to see it?...Pound for pound, a single cam RB30 will make as much if not more than a 25 and will hand a 20 its ass all day everyday!...Have you ever driven one with a decent setup? didnt think so...I know of one car here in SA that went low 10s at near on 140mph with the stock MX7 manual, 35/40 (1.06), Tighe cam with the stock head! That car made over 400rwkw on a hub dyno...I could go on but suggest you go do some reading before shooting your mouth off in future.

Cheers, Darren.

This message was aimed at my comment about no way in hell the OP in the previous thread made 200rwkw from a NA RB30 from spending $2000.

Any one notice the key factor that NSNPWR has some how missed? One key element?

How we survive as a species is beyond me.

Well chimpanzees are most closely similar except we cannot mate with one since we have millions of base pairs of DNA that's different. Not to mention the fact that we have 23 pairs of chromosomes and they have 24.

Mating a female horse with a male donkey - Mule

Mating a zebra with a donkey - Zonkey

Mating a female tiger with a lion - liger

Just a few of the bizzare examples :)

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
