greedy car companies want to operate on a profit. how dare they.

and the government wants to encourage local sales and bail out aus made cars owned by billion dollar international companies. and then get their fingers wet getting 33% tax on vehicles valued over $60-something.

good one straya

Winton first time today. Off the top of my head.

Session 1: 2:03 - didnt know what I was doing

Session 2: 2:00.7 - slowly learning

Session 3: 2:00.9 - did same as last session. Didnt know what to do to go faster

Session 4: 1:57 - newbish friend helping me out with a few things I was doing wrong

Session 5: 1:55.5 - more experienced friend showing me lines for sweeper and s turn

Session 6: 1:53 - missus as passenger. Improving on what my friend pointed out with lines and braking

Not bad for sub 50 odd kw on re002 for first time. It has more in it as is. But no more track time. Will be back next time to improve! As is I think I can get 1:51-1:52 comfortably

Mate with same set up but with k24 e85 160fwkw was dipping into 1:42. Wtb mo powarh

Nick, Hamish + Aaron: Thoughts on owning an Evo as a daily / weekend warrior?

Thinking about going and test driving a couple of Evo 8s.

Evo 8 would be a nice daily, just remember if you go a jdm 8 check for rust underneath

Well it's either that or start considering 7s and get a nice dirt bike or something for some weekend fun. Heard them rodz aint so great though. How much power was yours pushing out Nick?

235awkw and don't want to push too much more, some people have but depends for how long

It's the torque that kills them and because they get on the power so quick they tend to die if they push big power on stock rods

its fine, not the best on fuel similar economy to a skyline, just be mindful of the less than huge tank for daily duties if you do a fair number of KM/week.

as for the power thing, mines making 250 on 98 seems to be going fine so far.

If you're planning on modding it heaps go 8. I prefer 7 though, cheaper, I like the kit, and wasn't planning on modding it much at all.

Definitely recommend as a daily (if u don't mind regular fuel trips because if tank size) or weekender.

But after driving Scotty's Stagea last night, I seriously miss my old one.... Much more than the evo

need to rack up some kms on the pulsar this month. monthly meet at Alvin's work?

Come reefton spurs cruise next week brah. :)

I still have a reaction video of me and two mates from when Scotty took us for a spin in it, bloody epic. :D

Last night my mates were getting out of the lancer and they were just like "so much better than your 34"

Dat four door lyf coming in handy (although as a driver, no f**ks usually given anyway)

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
