Thanks for the pics Bob.

However, I believe that...

1) the Organisers didn't submit a Schedule 1 form to the Police which irked them and the locals a bit and...

2) there was an accident along the way

???

1. yeh there apparentl were over 2000 people who were unable to gain acces into the park at camden

2. ther was actually around 4-5 accidents unfortunatley

In relation to #2, was there not an emphatic briefing to drivers at the start?

And were all drivers at the briefing? > Paying attention - or ADD?

Massive turnout. Saw one small prang on the way down, well maybe not to small, the front end of a Silvia was gone..

I thought the organisation wasnt very good. Too many cars, so police ended up closing off the entrance in to the park. Then ended up closing the road further up 'cos of the traffic pile up. We parked further up the street and walked down to the area, made our donation and got our sticker.

Nothing special at the EQUESTRIAN PARK. I thought they could have had more entertainment and events occurring at the grounds.

Still a nice day to enjoy a drive in a beautiful Skyline!!:yes:

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
