very clever.........

no idea tbh. im actually selling my skyline as i join sau...

but once the clubby is ready and i have all the cams gear for the car then ill look! might have a go at the hill climb at nats, other than that havent got a clue! i want something cheap and easy for my first time in the hsv. shes a big girl.

All you need is a cams approved helmet, fire extinguisher and some stickers and off away you go!

As for tracks, IMO Winton is easier for the beginner but Sandown is convenient because its so close

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Never been to calder park

Is it mostly grass for run offs or concrete walls?

main straigh has plenty run off as it the drag straight, well was last time I was there.

rest is grass then concrete but it all straight line braking. it's really a very simple track.

shit condition tho thanks to 0$ spent on it and drifters.

Bit of press on the FBT changes

Im curious as to know your understanding and explanation on how and why this effects you?

Just trying to gauge the understanding of the changes from the public's point of view

Aaron you should pay attention as this change will effect you

Along with everyone else on your team that gets company cars!

Company pays FBT, and technically we are paying for the car as its apart of our salary and not as a benefit. Ie I can choose to be paid more and not be given a car..

My understanding is that tax is paid on default 20% private use for a salary sacrificed car.

The changes would mean I need to calc the private:business use; when salary sacrificing car I'm not using it for business but 100% private.

That's my understanding of it.

      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:
