If you ran that trap speed with no cage in a jap car there is NO chance they would let you run again

nah it's just heathcote don't care, calder will tell you to slow down then boot you off at anything over like 130 or 140 i think

Hey Martin; you do a lot of traveling...

Thinking of buying a new laptop to use when onsite & on transit (planes, airport lounges etc)

Asus Taichi 31 - tablet / laptop hybrid ; easy to play with on transit

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/TAICHI_31/

Alienware 14 - most powerful 14" laptop ; more usability when onsite or at home

http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-14/pd?oc=w510772au&model_id=alienware-14

Laptop will be my only system at home, transit & on-site.

Better to get a laptop with more power to use at home/onsite or a laptop which is easier to use during transit etc?

Any other suggestions would be great! Although dont want to spend more than $2k

Thanks :)

yes they put you in groups.

they will ask for any experience when you say none they will look at the car and pick a group.

Auto Manual Stag will be in one of the slowest ones.

Just do the next SAU VIC track day Huy

At least you'll be driving with alot of familiar faces

And less chance of a random spinning out in an emo.

hmmm.... you guys think I'll be fine with stock breaks? 1 hard lap then 1 cool down lap in each run?

Think I might stick to deca this year before a tune and brake upgrade.

Don't buy a netbook. You'll just want to head->desk repeatedly.

Although that said, I'm a fan of the PC at home, and if going down route of home pc+laptop; laptops are fairly affordable these days and should be able to get a decent i5 etc. Haswell is out now too, so.

I'll probably buy an ultrabook of some sort next sem.

Always gotta weigh up performance vs cost vs portability... but $2K budget seems plenty to get best of all three aspects.

I've heard some good things about LBO horize ones which you can customize too. But name brands are around for a reason too :P

/Nothelpful

If you want to use on the move get a 13 inch ultra book

Personally I'm looking to move to a Samsung ultra book myself

If you need more power/ screen than an ultra book at home get a tablet and a home system separate

And no idea why ppl think I travel much!!!!!

They do Alienware stuff now anyway.

this. reason alone not to get Alienware.

Dell is probs best for cheap laptops because of "customer service" and no lack of spares. in the end, it's a laptop, it'll be a POS in 2 years no matter how good care you take of it (unless it sits dormant and doesn't have new things installed)

speaking of travel, 4:45 wake-up call for 7:45 flight yay. only going to Sydney though, so not as exciting. f**king swear flights to Fuji would have been cheaper *grumble*

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
